alfalfa tea is good. Just make sure its not in Flower because of the nitrogen. Also alfalfa
has Triacontanol which is a growth stimulant for plants. which is another reason not to us it in flowering stage. wormcasting is another good tea for micros. Kelp is probally best for micros in Flowering stage.

Hello all,
Liquid kelp is rich in humates and high in K. It also has a high pH (liquid kelp - 8.5).
Has all kinds of good stuf.
My question to you B1 s that of using it up to finish?
I have stopped the kelp in my up coming mazar harvest but have kept up with the molasses. I dropped the guano tea for the flush.
I ran 4 gallons of water through the plants and then ran a liter of water and molasses (1tbsn/liter) for the final flush. My intent was to feed the microkiddies there last meal.
Since doing this yesterday they look much frostier but it might be my imagination.
I am not seeing any further growth or bulking up so I am jsut waiting on the trichs.
They are almost ready but I will wait a week anyway.

PS: I find that if I add the kelp at the time of fedding I do not have the big pH swing- this is just my experience so take that with a bong hit.

Okay, let me stir up another can of worms here...
There is absolutely no reason to "flush" in organic growing.
...Show me one place in nature where God "flushes" anything before harvest. Nada!
What I do is feed full nutes up until my last watering. I do however, leave the nitrogen out the last two waterings to get rid of some of the chlorophyl so it doesn't have so much "green" in it. Helps the cure.
If you want to get rid of some of the nutes by using them up at the end, just water with worm casting tea and molasses your last two waterings. That would let the plant "clean the plate" so to speak.

Hello everyone, I'm currently using the PBP line of grow and bloom. I do a little flushing towards the end, only because of the hydro componet in the Pro line. After my PBP Grow is gone, I'm thinking of getting original PB grow.
Exactly, just taper feedings of near the end.
Hey bostrom, wassup man.
I tried to PB, the 100% organic stuff and was less impressed, it requires ammending the mix with P and N because it's really low release and doesn't vut it near the end of veg and flowering.
I know I'm a stickler for organics but I'm sure your having alot of sucess with the PBPro lineup so stick with it and flush properly near the end.

I still use it to bail myself out sometimes despite guanos and teas.

Sounds good Suby, hope all is well
. I have about a month left on my PBP. And yea real happy with it, so i'll probably stick with it. I dont ammend my soil. and as far as flushing, I just use straight water maybe some mollases too, and if it's in a 3 gal pot, i'll run a few gallons threw it, not more. I'm doing the light feedings now of PBP and some Jamaica. Looking at getting some seabird too for veg.
ok so i cut out Liquid karma and im gonna use it only as a folair feeding during vegging. Also kelp meal and bat guano teas. This is making them grow a tad bit faster than normal. And makes transplanting no problem growing in 1 day!
Im not new to this. I just have problems due to making up my own recipie of Organics here. Although im not really making it up, But im not following no ones instructions and its all trial and error. I Think this will be my best crop yet. and i have some Really good genetics on the way!
Cant wait to show stuff off around here. Thanks for the discussion here. i think i still am going to do a mini flush just for safe keeping! I have a tin pan that holds water so it never really leachs out.... i think this may be a problem...
Thanks again
