I'd have read the bottle myself, but a quick google brings up this http://www.earthjuice.com/general/index.html
If you're that lazy throughout your grow dude you're in for a world of pain.

Uhh, most generally you want to bubble EJ for 12-24 hours before use. When you first mix it, the ph of the feed water hits the 4's, which will in turn fuck up your plants if you give it to them. After those 12-24 hours it climbs back up to mid 7's to low 8's... That's when you want to ph the feed water and give it to your plants.
But yeah, I hate Earth Juice... I have a shitload of their products and I'd give you all mine too...

Lol, no, but kind of. Find a bucket or plastic bin, put water in it, mix in the EJ at whatever concentration, and use an aquarium air pump with tubing to bubble the feed water for 12-24 hours. Then PH it and feed.
Are you just starting out? If you are you should do some more reading on some basic stuff. If the nutes are just new to you, whatever. Peace.

earth juice is great.
it does not need to be bubbled for 24 hours. it works fine mixed straight up.
if you are using it in an un-amended medium, use the mix ratios for Hydro-organics.
if you have some soil amendments, you will need to dance with it a little more.

So you're saying to mix it up, PH it, and just use it? I don't know man, I never tried it that way, but I've seen quite a few people asking what was wrong with their plants when they used EJ immediately. I'm sure the PH still climbs like a mother when it's used that way but I guess if you have enough dolomite in your soil mix this might not be a problem. I've tried EJ in coco hydroponics style and it pretty much did nothing but over N the hell out of my plants at just 2.5 ML a gallon. No other symptoms of burn, just retardation from nitrogen toxicity... In pro mix it worked fine but I just could not dial the shit in on coco.

Ive been usin EJ nutes for years, and Ive just finally decided that I dont like the results, so Ive switched...Ive had nothin but problems with all my grows usin EJ!!!
I just switched to Maxicrop, Liquid Karma(killer shit!!!), and AN Mother Earth Tea Grow & Bloom...Use those nutes bro, but make sure you watch ur pH, and EC...they can fuck with it big time...Peace

use pklenty of lime in your mix air it for 2 days and your straight. but if you are looking for a quicker mix then you are not going organic and you should go with chemy weed .
you can go with pure blend grow in veg and pure blend pro soil for flower.and use a bloom boost like pk 13-14 .i use stright bat guano and in a tea i still need to air the mix of 2 days to get all the goody's in the tea.or top dress using guano and water with a tea of molasses and earth worm castings.it works for me.or just get a soil recipe and just water in flower.

I'm doing the Lucas Formula in coco right now with GH Flora Micro and Bloom right now and my plants have never been happier as far as coco goes.
If I ever did organics again I'd probably go with making teas with panty hose. I think organic liquid nutes are a complete crapshoot concentration wise...

I don't have really anything bad to say about Earth Juice... well.. I dunno.
If says shake well. I know that, and understand why they say so. And i shake it like a dunk ho in atlanta night club, the bottle of EJ i mean.
but my EJ bloom went south on me, and I could barely tell it until I was down to 1/10 left. I should take a picture... there is a giant mass of sludge in the bottom. I've had phosphorous problems for over 6 months because I assumed that the EJ bloom was full strength. in reality it was 1/5 at best.
shake that shit like crazy. when in doubt, pour the entire bottle out into something else and check for alot of sludge. there is seriously 1" of sludge in the bottom of my 1 gal jug that will no go back into solution.
but i think EJ is a great fert, unless if does that on you.

Earth Juice grow is much, much stronger than what it says on the label. I used it for the fist time this year and had to dilute it to quarter strength. It's really strong stuff. I would use about 2 to three tablespoons per 5 gallons every 10 days to 2 weeks. Any more than that and you're going to burn them. I always heard good things about EJ in the old days, but so far i'm not impressed.

hello pine! yes EJ sticks hard to the bottom ... i toss it around and shake it up, everything to make it stop sticken. (i use a paint mixer split in half ) smells like shit too.
i used 1/4 to a gallon.
