Thanks guys... more stuff to check out - maxsea and sugarpeak.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Humboldt Nutrients 3-part organic line at this point, but I still have a few days to research before I need to start hitting 'em with some grow nutes... appreciate all the suggestions!
Well I guess it isn't 'organic' but works for me:

There are a couple pictures of stuff I grew on a simple regime of Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and 16-16-16 lawn fert.
I find that all the expensive fancy stuff makes little difference and actually can cause many different problems.
My transplant process is also part of this. No ferts at all until they go to the final 3 gallon pot. Put 1/2 teaspoon of the fert in the bottom of the pot, then new Fox Farm to cover. Let grow a week in veg, then add 1/2 tablespoon fert to the top of the soil and send to the flower room. Water as needed.
I am sick and tired of burning plants with supposed good ferts. I suppose in a controlled hydro grow they are with out doubt necessary, but in good Fox Farm you really do not need much, if any.
You want to grow organic ??? Buying a bottle saying its organic is not organic. Get some bone, blood, and kelp meal. Some mexican batshit and Peruvian seabird guano. Oh yes and earthworm castings and molasses.
If your interested in that kind of organic, let me know I'll post some recipes and if you go with bottled nutes post your results, i wanna see!
Good Luck man
what's the problem with the work being done for you and it packaged up in a nifty little bottle? i understand the whole "organic" attitude and whatnot, but some of us don't have time for all of that at the moment.Quote:

OMRI is a pretty good cert to have.

Organics is a wide spectrum of techniques, but if time is your concern you can mix what I have listed and all you do is water all the way to harvest. If that isn't time saving vs mixing your solutions and checking ph. Also all ingredients listed are way cheaper than bottled products, not side by side price comparison but in how long it will last you.Quote:

lets see the recipes. ive been using some new highly soluble guanos, nice.
This is by no way any of my own work. I started off this and have never gone wrong. From what I understand it is from lavender cowboy from OG days.Quote:

to that add
2 tbs dolomite lime / gallon of mix

1 tbs blood meal / gallon of mix
1 tbs kelp meal / gallon of mix
wet the mix with water and keep moist for 2 weeks, occasionally stir the mix up to promote air throughout. This allows the bone to start breaking down and bacteria get their levels up. veg or flower in this mix and water with plain water till harvest.
Senorx - Make tea with the water soluble guano, make sure its high P and not mexican batshit cuz its high in N not P.
Heres the recipe for that:
2tbs Guano
1/2 cup EWC
1 tsp Kelp
1 tbs Molasses
1 Gallon h20
if you can bubble then bubble. if not pour from bucket to bucket couple times and water. water with this from week 3 on in flowering for every watering and cut off last two weeks.
Make sure you know how to read your plant!!! this is the more important thing, all these nutes and blahblbhalbah but if you can't tell if that girl needs more or needs less its pointless.
Thats the basics. Like i said its not my work, I did it and it was dope!
i gotcha dagshet! i plan on getting more and more into the organic "lifestyle" so to speak. taking it all in and getting in touch with the philosophical side of things definitely.Quote:
