Fertilizing

Hello at fig4fun forum.
I have been reading and learning from these forum for a wile now, thanks to all of you for sharing your experience and knowledge, and of course I have question about fertilizing.
Slowly releasing fertilizer 8-20-20 How much of it per gallon container ? and how long it will last before needing more fertilizing ?
Liquid Fertilizer Miracle Grow 20-20-20 How much per gallon container ?
Dolomite Lime ...Calcium (Ca).......22%
                      Magnesium(Mg)...10%
                      Neutralizing Valume
                        (Calcium Carbonate Equiv)....96% How much per gallon container ?
Of course not young plants !

          Who ever can answer these question ! would make my life much easier. Thank YOU.

Don't want to sound like a smart ass but why not follow the directions on the package. I use a combination of osmocote for the beginning of the season with regular shots of foliage pro or dynabloom with watering.

Hi Jason,  I wish it was that simple, the package says;  Established Plants
                                                                          For established plants..or when fertilizing during planting time.

                                                                        Fertilize individual transplants with 1 small handful (30 g) of fertilizer per plant.
                                                                        Distribute evenly.................and so on, water in well.
                                                                   IT DOES NOT TELL ME HOW BIG THE PLANT OR THE CONTAINER IS !
            I would like to know, if the plant is in 4 gallon container, is it safe to sprinkle 4 handful (120 g) of fertilizer ? wow I got the math correctly lol ! Ouch, but that sounds to much to me, that is why I posted that Q !

Most members use 1/4-1/2 strength for young plants. But many members stop fertilizing around now to harden off the wood and stop green growth.
