Hey guys!
I want to do DIY root tabs, but I can not find any gel capsules in my area, and I can not order any at the moment. If you guys are not familiar with DIY root tabs, basically, you get 00 sized gel capsules and put in plant fertilizers such as Osmocote/Osmocote plus or Miracle-Gro all purpose plant food, or any adequate plant fertilizer. I can not get any gel capsules, so is their any other way I can successfully use/make DIY root tabs with out gel capsules?
THANKS!!!!

make ice cubes with fertilizer....pour the fertilizer in an ice cube tray and partially fill it with water.

You can also mix it with clay which is also a good additive to your substrate.
