Organic nutrients w/o using teas?

So I would like to keep my grow as organic as possible without using teas. Basically I want to keep it clean and simple.

All I have at the moment is fish Alaska 5-1-1 fish emulsion and liquid karma. Was thinking on getting some liquid liquid kelp to make a foliar spray, but other than that, what would you guys recommend?

My soil mix contains blood meal, bone meal, kelp meal, earthworm castings, and dolomite lime, so I'm looking for something to supplement these nutrients.

Here's the plants:


Peace!
 
What you have for now looks good for veg. I would add some POM All-Purpose 5-5-5 or POM Tomato & Vegetable 7-4-5 for veg. Add some POM Fruit & Flower 5-8-4, POM High-Phosphorus Bat Guano 0-4-0, soft rock phosphate for flower. All of the FoxFarms POM products contain mychorrizae & humic acid. You could add some molasses to feed the micros.

Good luck! :wave:

Peace :joint:

hey mntnxbiker
first off your plants look really good and healthy.
ive been foliar feeding my plants now. ive basically been doin it 5 days a week with two days of soil feeding with plain water and castings. i have in my artillery fish mulsion, molasses, ewc, Lk and neptunes seaweed. i also dissolve a vitamin c tablet and spray one nite with that and plain water and then one nite i soak some nettle leaves and then spray.

u seem like u have everything u need in veg except molasses. but i gotta wonder why u dont like teas? little messy they are but damn i think theyre awesome. i would much rather give my plants a tea than foliar feed but i think im gonna combine the two and make a tea with bat guano and stuff and just foliar feed that to my plants.

get the molasses(i use grandmas) and some kelp and u should be fine. good luck

i totally agree, dont know about the kelp but everything else sounds to be key advice

if you dont like teas just do a search here and on google about soil amendments. you will find more than enough things to mix into the soil that will provide more than enough nutrients for a healthy plant.

jiggy, nothing wrong with a guano foliar. i think they love it. of course you have to go light, as with anything else you foliar spray with. straining well is a must. ive gone though so many sprayers its not even funny because of me being lazy and not straining for 30 seconds if that.

nice plants jiggy. yeah the colors' beautiful.

i just gave my plants a foliar spray with wc. talk bout clogging the sprayer. but i strained twice cause i really like my sprayer. so far no problems.

my plants like the fish eumulsion but i know theyll LOVe the guano. i want my nugs to be grown with bat shit not fish. but very soon ill be planting them in a peat based soil with guano. so hopefully i wont have to feed the nitrogen for a while. :joint:

You can use the 5-1-1 and 0-0-1 seaweed for veg and Neptune's Harvest 2-3-1 fish/seaweed or 2-4-1 fish for flower. 1 tbs./gal. of water.

foliar feeding with compost tea is the way to go. i agree. a good tea will act subtle and effective at the same time. down here in the south farmers spray compost tea on the organic peach orchards also the oranges. i saw a department of agriculture expiriment where the left half of a peach treewas treated and the right was not. the left side of the tree grew three times thicker and the fruit yield was three times heavier. this is no bull. after i witnessed this i have never gone without my tea. this stuff really works and would suggest anybody who has not tried this stuff to do some research and breww themselves a batch. you wont regret it. does anybody agree?
