This is my first grow....I have a few questions about what to provide my plants with as they go through flowering. I'm trying to stick with a basic organic approach.
The plants are in 20gal fabric pots, outdoors.
The strains...Frosted Cherry Cookies, Tangieland, South Fork Kush, and Slymer .
Soil is roots organics original (Perlite, Coco Fiber, Peat Moss, Composted Forest Material, Pumice, Worm Castings, Bat Guano, Soybean Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Fish Bone Meal, Kelp Meal, and Greensand )
Since the beginning of July.....Once a week I have been giving them a tea made from Dr. earth 5-5-2 (Feather Meal, Fish Bone Meal, Kelp Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Potassium Sulfate, Seaweed Extract), plus worm casting and molasses.
I gave them some alaska fish fertilizer 5-1-1 only once about 10 days ago.
I've also given them a foliar spray with aloe once to twice a week since the beginning of July.
I have been watering them every other day as of the past 3 weeks.(plain water, sometimes with aloe)
My plants started to flower and go into their stretch at the beginning of this month....Some questions.....
I'm curious where to go from here?...any suggestions?
Can anyone suggest a basic organic regimen for flowering?
How much N do they need through flowering? Since most N is not immediately soluble when going the organic route, is this not as big of an issue during flowering when growing organic?
Is it OK to give the plants an aloe foliar spray when flowering?
I was thinking about just top dressing with bone meal and/or a high P guano. And continuing to give them some worm castings tea with a little molasses and occasionally some aloe.
....and/or top dressing and making tea out of Dr. Earth 3-9-4 (Fish Bone Meal, Feather Meal, Potassium Sulfate, Alfalfa Meal, Kelp Meal, Seaweed Extract), along with some worm castings/molasses and occasional aloe.
Is that^ Dr. Earth 3-9-4 something that can be used all through out flowering?
Could FF Big Bloom provide any benefit on top of what I'm thinking about giving them?....Or would that be a waste since I'm already providing similar components?
