[HillbillyG]

Is pot ash good to give to a plant during flowering? Or is there some other natural thing I can give it to grow? I don't want to use store bought ferts can I use something natural from nature?? Any help always is greatly appreciated.

It will have small amounts of nutes, but just by some mg for 5 bux, if you want organic, by organic fertilizers like bat guano or fish emulsions

Howdy HillbillyG,

I don't know whether pot ash is good for flowering or not,a fert with micro-nutes included,is probably what you need-you want something that will act right away..I'm pretty certain.

You can use certain manures,but they all need to be composted first,if you use fresh manure,it will be too strong,nitrogen-wise,and could burn the plants. Do you have a compost pile started ? Compost,in and of it's self,is a good ,natural fert-and it's free. You can start up a worm composter,in a twenty gallon or so,rectangular rubbermaid container..I think that there's even kits available. In just a few weeks,you can have a supply of composted worm shit..also known as worm castings. The thing about using natural products from Nature is,is that it really needs to be composted first,and they usually stink,so it's not advisable,to use them indoors,except when pre-mixed with your soil mix. Fish emulsion,is a great fert,but it's pretty daggum stinky,indoors-trust me..lol. Bat guano is a good fert,but needs to be handled with care,dust mask,eye goggles and latex gloves,are best. Sea-bird guano,is good stuff too,but best when store-bought,because it's usually mixed with sea-weed and is rich in micro-nutes.

The point is,is that unless natural stuff is composted first,it's not good to use it in it's raw form,except,I reckon,when ya chop up a fish into your outdoor soil bed,as Jack says,still,it needs to compost a few weeks before use. Composting,renders material into a form that's easiest for plants to uptake the nutrients.

If you're really serious about going organic,then you should do a google search for the subject of composting,worm farms and organic growing.

Have a good one...Torog

Torog I have the plant growing in compost manure and it is doing nicely but is there something else natural I could give it to boost flowering. I rubbed one of the leaves and it smells like arctic frost it made my mouth water!! Man I can't wait to smoke this shit!!

Some Indonesian or Jamacian bat guano is what you probably want.

Indo: 0.5-10.5-1.5

Jam: 1-10-0.2

I am using thew Indonesian guano in a small soil grow right now and they are doing good, considering that they had powdery mildew at 2 1/2 weeks flowering. The mildew was before use of the guano, and has aided in saving my harvest, I introduced the guano at 4 weeks and now at about 5 1/2 weeks the plant is doing good and the buds look great.
