Just seeing the cover you can't resist reading the content, again thanks Ian for sharing your growing experiences and skills.
I'm surprised by the NPK formula you use, i never try more than 3/4N. Did you used lower formula in the past and saw differences?

Yann,  I would prefer lower nitrogen but I use the 777 formula because it is readily available and that is why I apply it at a low rate so as not to overload the bulbs with N.
After the initial feed I switch to lower N liquid feed during the winter then potassium, K, in spring.

ok, this autumn i'll try to add more N to my homemade mixture. I use amino acid for 3 years and my conclusion is that bulbs really appreciate it, +30% size, roots are really stronger.
