when you just cant get nutrients

Hi,:tiphat:
I'm just in the planing stage at the moment..
im trying to figure out how to do a outdoor grow,and successfull blooming and seeding in Kashmir(Pakistan),whilst on holiday there.
Ive only ever done indoor growing using hid's,compost and nutrients.

But i wont be able to get these(nutrients) in a 3rd world country.
I have to use whats around,to make soil ect.
Does anyone have any info,tips to share, or can recommend any usefull books or links on how to if possible make the required nutrients naturally for a successfull grow/bloom/seeding.
I would be greatfull!!.

Im considering taking some seeds i have from strains i like/have, and growing big bushes to make buds and seeds from.

Ive seen cannabis plants growing wild all over the kashmir region,but they all get pollinated early on and make seeds.so i dont get a chance to see big fat mature fems blooming.
i dont know if there will be enough usable nutrients in soil for to sustain/maintain large blooms.So incase there are none,i plan to be ready to supplement em accordingly.
any thoughts or ideas welcome or things i may be forgetting please point out..
i live on a farm of sorts,so theres plenty of horse,buffalo,chicken,goat, poop around if its useable......thank you...Always remain in harmony..azad

If you can't get them at a store, it's highly unlikely you can get the things to make them.

If you have any kind of home depot or walmart near you, they sell basic plant fertilizers that will work.

Or you can order online.

Just use the chicken, buffalo, and horse shit as fertilizer. Use a 1:2 ratio of manure:soil, and then top dress with manure occasionally.

you could use some good soil and some slow release fert. or normal fertilizer for the veg stage (if you find fert for food crops, that's better to use) and leave the nature take care of the plants in flower. I've done that and had great crops that tasted great. I've even did it indoor and it worked!

good luck bro, the place seems great!

grass clippings are a good source of N and fireplace ash are a good source of K

I think organics is the way to go, making your own soil and such. If you're going to be making seeds outdoors, it would be a nice move to do your best to avoid spreading pollen of your strains (I'm presuming these are commercial/non-local) out in the wild, for the sake of avoiding "pollution" of local genetics.
Looks like a real nice place to spend some good time, best of luck :joint:

Yes i will document what i can,when in the process.
ive read a few atricals on the net about composting and tea brewing,its a start in the right direction.
NO i was'nt to bothered about the local weed populations,didnt think a lil pollen would hurt em.I thought it might even be benificial to them!!.
im going to be growing outdoor on my own land.not a commercial ventre just making seeds and bud for myself..thanks

There's a gentleman from the Philippine Islands by the name of Gil Carandang - www.herbanafarms.com who is respected around the world for his work in 3rd world countries teaching farmers to increase their yields using a technology called 'Beneficial Indigenous Microbes' (BIM)

Here's an overview of the science as well as the recipes for making your own 'nutrients' from very basic materials/ingredients: Beneficial Indigenous Organisms

It's an interesting read if nothing else.

Build a worm composter to turn your kitchen scraps into proper EWC. Use EWC teas and local manures. But make sure you're using composted manure. The fresh stuff is bad news. Smells like shit too.

If you're in the bush and can't get to a hydroponics store, you can always use your piss. -Joe

not quite, you can use it after its been stood for a while, otherwise it will stunt/kill plants. it stinks, its dirty, so only use it if you need it.
i think it breaks down into mostly N ?
i would try to find some add to water fertilser, it does not matter what you use as long as you know if it needs n p or k and give it what it wants.
also add lots of compost+manure to your holes.

Thanks for the link CC, thats helpfull info right there!!.:thank you:
Im thinking the farm yard soil and well composted manures as a base/start.
i'll maybe not have enough time to make compost,but i'll definatly try build a pile,using whatever household food scraps,and generally what ever looks good on the farm.
I'll be searching local caves for guanos thanks.
i have a better idea now. thank you for your thoughts,help guys!!..remain in harmony!!..azad

earthworms will eat your kitchen waste and shit out EWC immediately. look into it...very fast. you don't need much to start making teas with which to feed.
