    Good day everyone.

    If I use flourish root tabs, do I still need to dose the water with flourish?

    Dosing the water column will always be preferable to root fertilization as your plants unnecessarily waste energy at root level to break it down. This is particularly problematic in a newly planted setup where the plants may be cuttings and not (have) fully established (roots) yet...,

    ...or where you may be trimming and replanting cuttings.
