List your feeding schedules you use in your grows. What nutes are used in certain weeks etc.. This also may give some newer organic growers an idea of what to do when growing. Here's mine I'm using this Fall/Winter.

Soil:
Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Worm Castings
Perlite
Garden Lime
Gypsum

Vegetative:

Week 1: Nothing
Week 2: Feed with 1/4 strength Liquid Fish (5-1-1) *if yellowing
Week 3: Feed from soil
Week 4: Foiler feed with Liquid Seaweed (0-0-1)
Week 5: Feed from soil
Week 6: Foiler feed with Liquid Seaweed (0-0-1)
Week 7: Feed from soil
Week 8: Foiler feed with Liquid Seaweed (0-0-1)

*Use Epsom Salt if any Mg def.

Flowering:

Week 1: Feed from soil
Week 2: Feed with Liquid Seaweed (0-0-1) (1ts)
Week 3: Feed with Bio-Bloom (1-2.5-2) (1ts)
Week 4: Feed with Bio-Bloom (1-2.5-2) (2ts), Indonesian Bat Guano (0.5-12.5-1.5), Liquid Seaweed (0-0-1) (1ts)
Week 5: Feed with Bio-Bloom (1-2.5-2) (3ts), Indonesian Bat Guano (0.5-12.5-1.5) (2ts), Mollasses (1ts)
Week 6: Feed with Bio Bloom (1-2.5-2) (4ts), Indonesian Bat Guano (0.5-12.5-1.5) (2ts), Mollasses (1ts)
Week 7: Feed with Bio Bloom (1-2.5-2) (4ts), Indonesian Bat Guano (0.5-12.5-1.5) (2ts), Mollasses (1ts)
Week 8: Flush (plain water)
Week 9: Flush (plain water)

*Use Epsom Salt for Mg def.
*Flush earlier for early finishing strains (week 6-7)

Nice CF.

Mine is pretty easy. The medium is amended with greensand, compost/humus, blood meal, bone meal, and bat guano (high N in veg, High P in flower). They get Maxicrop once every week and molasses once every other week. If they look like they need a tea, it's a compost/bat guano/Maxicrop brew.

I feed every time I water.

i feed less in veg, mainly foliar, strong tea in flower 2 of 3 waterings, plain water on the 3rd

Good to see some other methods you use. Keep them coming.

At the first week in flower I feed heavy
1/3 cup FF 5-4-6 (its the VEG and Tomato)
1/3 cup wormcasting (maybe a little more) I measure it in handfuls
1/3 cup Indonesion guano
2 tbls Molasses per gallon
4 cap fuls Maxi-crop liquid seaweed
1 1/2 tsp K-mag (new) OMRI listed
1 tsp per gallon LK (cap full is about 1 tsp)
and buble the hell out of it.

If I want to dilute, I will mix and bubble double strength and dilute at use.
During flower I feed something at every feeding. I used to skip but instead of skipping I will just dilute to be able to feed every time. At the end I will give just fresh water for a few days. The organics takes care of any extra ferts. Not like Hydro where you smoke whats left over.

Only been growing for 4 years, certainly not a pro but here goes...

Soil consists of about 1/4 organic compost, 1/4 organic store bought soil, 1/4 perlite, and the other 1/4 is a mixture of guano and worm castings. I basically don't give them anything other than this mix plus a little blood meal and kelp during veg, along with some guano/worm casting tea when necessary. Not much changes in flower except for, like you CF, high P guano and Bio-Bloom. Start reducing nutes about one month prior to harvest and then flush one week before. I find this works better for me personally than flushing two weeks before. The smoke is even smoother.

Good idea! it makes since for the plant to use what it needs and not overdoing it. I'm still learning organics.

I am too dude, only been growing 4 years. I've done that for the past two and it seems to smooth the smoke out a little more. It may have more to do with my changing methods as well, but this also seems to encourage the females to produce a little more resin. Maybe 'she' knows that nutrients are short and tries to mature as quickly as she can? Regardless I wait until hairs start dying to harvest.
