Organic bloom nute?

[Finagleabud]

Sorry if this could have easily been found, I looked at the organics for beginners and teas thread and there's just too much information to process heh.

Anyway, I'm on day 4 of flowering an outdoor\indoor organic bagseed grow (sunlight on nice days, 200W cfls on rainy days).

Everything so far has been really great, plants are growing like crazy and are a perfect medium green without any burns or spots of any kind. I'm using MG organic potting mix cut with appropriate amounts of perlite, vermiculite, lime and some MG organic "plant food" which is 7-1-2.

Now that I'm flowering though, I'd like to add a lot more potash and avoid adding any more N. I should have added something to the soil mix from the beginning, but... I'm dumb. What is a good organic water-soluable nute that I could use for flowering? Or is there some kind of tea I can make? (I don't really understand teas at all). There's no hydro shop in my area, so I only really have lowes and home depot as options outside of ordering online, which I'd like to avoid.

I would look at the "age old" line of organic nutes, that is something u can order online with no fear, they dont advertise for bud but it does super well from what i understand
good luck happy growing

Make a tea using fish hydrolysate and fish bone meal if you are worried about it.
Something like this per 5 gallon bucket:
1 cup fish hydrolysate
1/4 cup fish bone meal
1/4 cup EWC
1/4 cup kelp meal
Bubble for 24 to 36 hours and apply. Shouldn't need to do that but a couple times during flower. Of course considering your soil mix is a balanced organic soil mix that can handle ph fluctuations.

Personally when flowering I use kelp extract for K and micronutrients, plus it have hormons in it so it is a perfect stimulant too. I use high P guano as phosphorous source like Indonesian bat guano or red peruvian seabird guano.
Use kelp/guano combo from the 4th week of flowering till flush. During the previous weeks add good amount of N cause plant will use it a lot when stretching. If you don't they'll start yellowing sooner.

Of course you can topdress your soil with kelp/guano then watering, but make an ACT with the stuff is far better as the plants can have faster access to nutrients.

If your concern is about internet orders, check all the nurseries in your area: one of them will have what you look for. If the quest won't be fruitful, then check on ebay. Once you find what you need, simply pay them with money order or directly in cash at the delivery.

I like the looks of that - wonder what the active release time line is on that ?

Sorry about that - link

I've used liquid bonemeal during weeks 2 to 5 weeks of flower when the demand for P is high with sulfate of potash from weeks 4 to 7 for high K for sugar and weight.

Understanding Down-To-Earth's business model, I'd surmise that ANY/ALL liquid bone meal is coming out of the same factory. I doubt (seriously) that there's a dime's worth of difference between Brand A vs. Brand B.

I could be wrong however. I DO know that DTE doesn't manufacture a friggin' thing. Ever.

Good point. I used Aagrand Liquid Bonemeal 0-12-0 (has to be the same stuff). The Aagrand I bought from another grower in LA was a distributor, as their business model was sort of like Amway. He asked me if I wanted to work under him and sell the product. LOL. I declined. Just not enough time in the day. But the product was good, or at least the grow was successful and it didn't cause any damage. I just knew I was light in P so I applied it 2x. It was about $8/qt.

I looked at their web site and while the selection is fairly limited, I did find this product to be interesting if nothing else. It might have some application to growers on this venue perhaps.

Yeah. When I met the guy in LA refered to in my earlier post, he gave me the full lineup of their products.

I used this ONCE (about 4 months ago) on my mothers that were one year old and never had dolomite mixed with the soil. I figured they could use it. They've been happy ever since.

I used the qt sample of their fish fert within a few weeks and used all the sulfate of potash w/kelp quickly also. All the products were good IMO. But now I buy kelp and S of P separately and I use another fish product you and V suggested so I've yet to buy them again. But I would.
