Only my second grow indoors, and first thats all organic. I have been using biobizz products with good results and was wondering the samething. Well the local shop here recommend using the earth juice line. I want to stay 100% organic. My first grow had a mixture of rapid gro, miracle grow and organics. My next indoor grow will be with another all organic fert. maybe i will try earth juice. oleschool

check the tea threads, alot of us organic growers don't use fertilizers in the traditional sense but rather through teas instead. I've never used BioBizz, I just use dry ferts that are tilled into my soil after that I water with my tea.

That's sound advice Pyrex! I do not like to use anything in a bottle anymore. First, its only organic bases at best. Second, when you brew your own teas you are adding BB(benifical bacteria) to the soil. The microherd is one of the most improtant aspects of any soil make-up. When you add bottled ferts you are hindering the living organisms in your soil thus preventing yourself from having a "living soil" which in organic growing we are trying to create.
And when you make your own teas you know EXACTLY whats in them and in what amounts. And you can taylor to your plants needs.

This is one of Suby's posts from the OFC, if this doesn't answer your question fully, you should check out that thread, its really full of good ideas.
"Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and use an airstone connected to an air pump to aerate the water for 24hrs, this will evaporate any traces of chlorine in the water wich can kill beneficial bacteria.
Ingredients (these are for 4 gallons of water)
This is a base tea, you can water with this every watering.
4TBS of worm castings
4TBS of molasses
1-2TBS lquid seaweed
2TBS of liquid karma (optional, substitute for humic or fulvic acids)
To feed the plants you add to your base tea:
2-3TBS of either high N or P guano
I don't use a cloth bag to hold the solid ammendments, I just dump everything in because I find it brews much better and the solids have a better contact and surface area with the rest of the brew.
The only drawback to the "no pouch method" is it can clog you airstone, what I do is keep the airstone suspended as opposed to sitting on the bottom.
Once everything is setup and the ingredients are brewing keep it bubbling for 24-48hrs loosely covered in a dark place, after 2 days you should have foam at the top.
Use guanos only when you want to give them a boost and not everytime as guano is high release, I use guano once high N in veg and 3-4 times during flowering, the rest of the time just use the basic elements and skip the guano."

Have been using iguana juice with great results give it a go if you wanna use bottled, using with voodoo juice. piranha powder, organic-B, humic acid, sweet leaf, and a bit of bat shit too in flower. All 'claim' to be organic. Works just fine for me tho.Always have a very large root ball.
As my peeps mentioned homemade is my favorite but if your looking for a bottled source I've heard great things about AgeOld organics.
SMW74 I've heard good things about the voodoo and pirhana, if I recall correctly they are michorizal innoculants right? That would explain the nice rootzone.
Don't waste your money on Sweet, try molasses instead 'cause it's the main ingredient.

yes Suby been thinkin about using molasses when this sweetleaf has gone hearing good reports bout it. You are right about voodoo n pirhana can't rate it enough apart from the price.
