triple 13 fert. is a good quick boost,but thats about it. You have to be careful not to burn stuff with it too. It pretty much releases all at once(prolly withing a few weeks time depending on the frequency of water) You may want to go with something that will feed for 3-4 months,with some slow release fert. It is more expensive,but you pretty much get what you pay for in fertilizers.
Gerald, you did the right thing in lowering your ph in the soil. More times than not,there are more plants out there that are a lot happier with a slightly acidic soil. There is a great prduct called Ironite that will lower you ph and give your plants a terrific green color. Fertilizers are kinda like chlorine in a pool. If the ph isnt right the plant will not be able to absorb the fert(no matter how much there is of it) because it cant be broken down in the state that its in; hence you might have plenty of chlorine in a pool,but if your ph is too high,you will prolly have trouble keeping your water clear.
