Well I've been using the search engine and can't find a list with all the organic sources of nutes compiled in one, I'd greatly appreciate your help



nitrogen- Blood meal
phosphorus- bat guano, bone meal
potassium- seaweed/kelp
calcium- lime
magnesium- lime
sulfur- gypsum
iron- ?
manganese- ?
zinc- ?
copper- ?
boron- ?
molybdenum- ?

Gypsum (calcium sulfate) is not organic. The micronutrients iron, etc...can probably come from the seaweed/kelp. Check the label. So, that would leave you with no source of organic sulfur. I would not get too "hung up" on having everything 100% organic.

Also, adding nutrients when you first plant may not last for the entire crop. You may end up having to add more nutrients in your water by making a "tea".

I've literally been getting headaches from all this shit. I can never get it straight.

What about the iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum?

Should I just buy some bottled nutes/supplements that have these in it from a hydro store?? I mean, what the fuck??? I feel like punching mother nature directly in the face.

I'm not planning on that anymore, just gonna water feed the nutes (for better "control")

The problem is I can only get tiny amount of info on "organic" sources of nutes, so will probably just have to spend a bunch of money that I don't have on bottled nutes at this point, which pisses me off to no end and is seriously stressing me out, I feel like my heart is gonna jump out my damn throat

The seaweed/kelp probably has iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum. Like I said, you will have to check the label. Organic means only that it contains carbon too.

This thread has some basic organic growing questions answered like you have. Suby does a good job explaining and gives some recipes for teas. Read the whole thing. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=32499

Yeah, I know the official definition, by "organic" I guess I mean homebrew and non-specialty-overpriced-hydrostore-nutes


Thanks for all the help

Well that's the thread I got a lot of my ideas from but then you told me not to mix any nutes in my soil mix....???????????????. Literally all I do is go to work, come home, read up on this site and others, go to sleep, get up and read up some more, then go to work, come home and read up some more, etc. That's literally all I've been doing and I still can't even get this shit right.


BagseedSamurai- No, organic soil. But all of these nutes are essential

Sorry everybody. I'm not trying to waste y'alls time.


Thanks,
