Soils , teas and other organic amendments
I want to share my observations and the recipe´s with the peopz here ... , to say it in front i like to keep things simple with no gram or ounce´s involved ...
as well the tea´s i use are working with every strain with no tweaking [ i like this very much as i like to grow many strains at once .... , so for all mono culture growers a bit of trying around could be beneficial to get the max ] I use a completely organic soil named Grow Mix , it contains a small %age of perlite which is ok when you want to use it in summer , where you want a bit higher water retaining quality of your soil ... other wise you have to add up to 20% of the perlite to the final amount of soil ... Worm Castings Supply of many beneficial bacteria´s & enzyme´s and trace elements I like to mix the final amount of soil to about 10% with wc and let the light moistured mixture sit for about 2 weeks so the bacterias & enzymes can propagate the mix Sea Bird Guano < 14-11-3 > High N release organic nutrient , with a good amount of P also ..., for super fast vegging and healthy plants and a lush/fast begin in flowering , be careful when testing , its easy to burn your plants especially when mixed into the soil ... , brewing tea´s is prefered in my book .. Bat Guano < 6-15-3 > High P release organic nutrient , for flowering ... , here´s the same with SBG , be careful !! and teas are prefered Molasses High in K , Mg & Ca , sulfur ... , makes up for a healthy green and fast nutrient transport in the plant Teas Teas : Every tea which is stated here is a concentrate for 10L of nutrient solution Just pour some water in a jar and mix the amendments and let it sit for 48 hours ... [ I like to sieve the concentrate tea , so the release of the nutes happens only when watering and not later when the the particle´s are introduced into the soil ] Base tea : 1.5 tbs worm castings + 1.5 tbs molasses the base is for every watering to supply a beneficial bacterial compound (some strains/plants can handle much higher base tea´s or need lighter ones , but this tea is a good point to start) Bacterial tea : 1 tbs worm castings , to supply bacterias for the last processes of the plants life , as well as for a fast root growth with young clones/seedlings Feeding teas Veg : seedlings End tea/bacterial tea for the first 2 weeks !!!!!!! Veg : clone´s/early veg Base + 0.5 tbs Sea Bird Guano Veg : big clones/mom´s Base + 1 tbs Sea Bird Guano I. Bloom: beginning bloom/early bloom [week 0-3 depending on flowering time of strains grown ] Base + 1 tbs Sea Bird Guano II. Bloom : middle ... [ week 4-6 , with longer flowering strains just add one light bat guano feeding about 4 weeks before the chop ] Base +1 - 2 tbs Bat Guano III. the last weeks ... Bacterials until 14 days prior harvest For now i have found a 2-3 times ferting during the whole flowering to be more productive .... , as well its more economic .... have fun experimenting with the world of organics Fj

Glad you put this out there. It seems there is always a debate about this. But I will only add this...
We found that organic gardening is easier than anything else. It is very forgiving, and easily corrected.
