Default Nutricote total and Throw n Grow

Osmocote is reputed to "blast" with certain water types and, as Danny noted,
at certain temps.

I use Dynamite with no problems.

Apparently if the temperature is warm it will release the nutrients too
quickly. Nutricote/Dynamite is supposed to release it more evenly.

Anyone use them? Any Problems?


What are the problems with Osmocote? I don't use it on orchids, but I
do use it on things like vireyas. It seems to work quite well. The
plants thrive and bloom.
