DIY:flowering fertilizer/nutes!!
last year i didnt have money to buy nutes so i went searching
and found out that grapefruit rinds have LOADS of potassium
the main mineral you need during flowering, coffee grounds
have small, small amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and miniscule
amounts of potash(which i'm told is also potassium) and egg shells
are 93% calcium carbonate(A.K.A. lime)
INGREDIENTS:
the rinds off of three grapefruits
a couple tablespoons of ground coffee
the eggshells of two eggs
EQUIPMENT:
blender
coffee filters
large bowl
regular bowl
baggies
kool-aid pitcher
thats it i think?
sounds too good to be true ehh?
i had fantastic results as good as
if not better as store bought
super bloom
1.i crushed the eggshells with my hand
getting them as small as humanly possible
(careful if you got sensitive hands those little
buggers will break skin if done wrong :])
and place in baggie for later
2.get out your blender and add your rinds
and your coffee grounds, fill about 3/4 of
the blender with water and liquify that
shizznit lol well no not totally it should
look like a rough paste
3.get your regular bowl and a large one and
coffee filters LOTS of coffee filters
4. get two count it two coffee filters and
cup them in your hand from the bottom
and pour some of your muck in there
5. twist together the top and hold let the
initial ""water"" (orangeish color) flow when
the flow starts to slow cup the bottom
again and push up believe me it's the only way
to effectively drain the water without ripping the
coffee filter(when you turn it over it should look
like a mushroom) and put it in the small bowl
DO NOT DISCARD!
REPEAT UNTILL ALL DRAINED
6.now open up all your coffee filters put the
ground rinds in the bowl stir in eggshell's
then place in baggie and roll up one big
"cake"
7.transfer "water" to some kind of container
thats got a cap but not by any means airtight
i used a kool-aid container and put in sun
for about a week
8. take out "cake" and put on a plate and also
put in sun untill mostly dry and you can just rip
a piece off and it just crumbles in your hand
9. now most most of your water will be evaporated
and the will be a concentrate at the bottom carefully
pour out water and
now you have a NUTE concentrate mix to mix with water
and a fertilizer to put on/in the soil
works as mulch or fertilizer
one last note BE CAREFULLL THIS SHIT IS STRONG
treat concentrate like super bloom
and dont use more then two teaspoons of the mulch/fertilizer at a time
HAVE A GREAT TIME!!
HAPPY GROWING!!
