Is it possible to use organic nutrients in the Autopot? I'm going to be using a coco-based medium i.e. not 100% coir as there will be other components such as worm castings, a small amount of composted pine bark, neem cake and possibly some bat guano. I was thinking of using special slow-release organic fertilizer pellets that contain comfrey, seaweed and alfalfa. These would supply nutrients during the vegetative stage and pure water would be supplied using the Autopot. When the nutrients run out in flower, I would then have to supply an inorganic mineral-based fertilizer, which will be Hesi bloom.
I was wondering whether this would work or if I should just use inorganic fertilizers all throughout? I ask since people seem to be okay with using inorganic nutrients in John Innes compost for half the grow and then organic nutrients in the other half, except this is the other way round i.e. organics nutes in flower rather than veg. I've tried asking on other boards but couldnt' get an answer! Hopefully you guys can help
