anyone ever try this stuff ? i did a search but nothing came up, wondering some organic guru's can go through the site and put together a good reciepe.

i've always found the idea of oganics amazing. just add the right soil addatives and water( a little more than that ).

If anyone has any input on this organic fert. please let me know! hopefully next time someone searches for this type, they will have an answer.

no comments .. or anything ?

I read it and I'm an organic lover myself.
I wanted to post but my wife is now hungry and she is pregnant and that my friend is a force of nature.
A hungry pregnant woman.
I'll be back to discuss and offer a recipe, on the whole it looks complete when mixed.

Later

I use my own mix, spag peat moss, perilite, worm castings , and very very light and screened compost (too much will burn seedlings) I even sometimes leave the compost out until transplant. Just make sure whatever soil you start with has a nice phosphorus content as this will help develop healthier roots. I almost forgot to mention dolomite lime for a ph buffer.

Hello all,

I have read most of the adcopy, not very specific about whats in it but have a detailed NPK ratios. This makes me wary.


I understand wanting to buy a pre-mix. And as much as I hate to promote the status quo-go with FFOF- I have and have had good runs and getting better.

Barring that- I would go with some of the guru's mixes and are cheaper in the long run- downside for me is space and in-convenience.

Also, as I like the organic teas- they work well in organic soil- plants just seem to jump from guano tea- and the flavor-ahhhh. Good. Just my two whatsits.

Hey man I'm back

Here is what I consider a base mix

60% peat based mix with added perlite (Pro-Mix HP,Sushine Mix,etc.)
30% perlite for proper drainage and oxygen to roots
10% worm castings, they provide some N, micros, and beneficial bacteria

To each gallon of this mix I add:

2 TBS/gal dolomite lime, provides a ph buffer around 7
1 TBS/gal blood meal for N
2 TBS/gal bone mean for P (flowering mix only)
1 TBS/gal kelp meal or ground seaweed for K and trace elements

If you take a look on the site they have most of these products.
You could buy the blood and the bone meal seperately and the kelp meal, the soil, and the compost.
The compost can "replace" the worm castings in the above recipe and the soil mix will be ok to swith with the Promix HP.

You feed this mix light teas of castes, molasses, and a little liquid seaweed and your set, high P guano should be added during flowering.

Oh and by the way, it's a girl and we are totally excited, i'm painting the baby room.

Peace

yeah! Suby great mix bro, and congrats. again!!!

so this would label this ripe bud, organic? .. because if it does i'm going back to the flower shop and picking up some ingredience! i've been told lots before that i'm smokeing organic bud, but its not the same as growing it myself. ( and knowing exactly what the plant was fed ) i've had guys tell me lots that its organic, and then star telling me they used just a bit of micro,grow,bloom(AN) for EXTRA growth.... HA yeah right! thats not organic in any way even if you used all the organic suplements you could find!

anyways i'm going of track. Thnx a million, And i wonder how i can get this thread moved to organic soils

 

[Suby]

This bud would be labelled 100% organic yes, especially since all the ingredients are OMRI listed as organic and bat guano is organic.
My opinion is if it came from a bottle it defeats the purpose or a cheap and organic mix.

To get this moved just PM an admin, LC had been away as of late so no mod in organics for now ( but were a tame bunch in there lol)

suby , just 1 more quicky for ya! .. i'm going to plant my clones, and i picked up this ( 100% Organic Composted Potting Soil 0.25 - 0.11 - 0.14 ) i thought for the clones first bit of food this would be a good 1 to start on, i mixed some perlite in with it. haven't planted them yet tho, incase i'm missing something.

 

[cannable]

i like the idea of water in additives.. i just use coco, perlite and promix hp for soilless mix

 

[vhGhost]

hey guys .. iknow this thread is hella old, but i'm going to be doing a run in the mix stated above witht he groundskeepers pride bloo&bone meal + Kelp meal , and their organic compost. i can't wait .. i'm so tired of having to cure my dried herb to make it worth smoking. ...

 

[Suby]

Sounds like a plan VhG, turn up the organic juices and watch they thrive.
I microwave sample buds and they toke smooth, I just can't help raping them for a sample.
I still cure them in jars, it makes for a sweet and more potent flavour, you'll notice a much more rich earthy smell with cured organic nugs.
If you have any ? during the grow post them here and we'll help out :

Oh yeah i know exactly what you mean. i've been smoking some 6+month old Love Potion buds grown in organics, its a treat every time.. and the smell is like a bag of ripe lemons and limes. The grower told me, he is very strict with what kind of buds he smokes.

But i'm totally excited to see how this turns out.

This is 1 picture of the love potion bud. They where 6Feet tall when they finished, around 112days. Amazing manicure job. i'll try and get some better pics for you guys.

Hey guys just a quick update.. i've had my girl veggin. in the mix below for about 30 days and now are 1 week into flowerin...
1 bag of pro mix + 1 cup blood meal + 1 cup bone meal + 1/2 cup dolimite lime + 10-20% added chunky perlite + Worm castings .. and its working awsome

Water with WC + Mollases Tea every 2nd watering and i'm going to hit them up with a good dose of High P Guano in the 3 weeks of flowering and then nothing but water after week 6-8.... wish me luck guys .. everything is looking amazing... by far the healthiest crop i've had in a very long time lol....

i have a organic mix not sure of the brand off hand but it has Composts, ewc, feather meal, batguano, chicken guano, michorizai fungi sorry for the spelling. i know these arent the exact ingredients but i know its close. It also has a natural wetting agent from yucca or something. It has some small, light volcanic rocks in it. Works great. Ill specify later.
