I use 15-30-15 right now. Last two weeks or so I use just pure water with sugar mixed in. A user taught me this, this grow season. Always harvest at night.

So go do a search. As you have already said, you are just too lazy yourself and expect everyone here to reinvent the wheel just for you.

like i said i have researched but havn't had much luck, i'm only looking for information in the place i'm supposed to look, and if you don't want to help me, another one of your posts wont be necessary.

i recommended the Earth Juice Bloom and the Earth Juice Catalyst 100% organic. You can also use Dr. Hornby's Big Bud in lieu of the EJ Catalyst. I have a recipe posted a recipe on how to make your own Organic Bloom/Grow Fer's. I cut and pasted it for your use.....this works awesome and is cheap all though the initial cost may be high due to the fact that bone meal and kelp meal are only available in 50# sacks.

One super awesome thing about the EJ line is it gives a unique sweet and super fruity flavor to the finished product...even if you flush the soil before cutting...let me know what you guys think.

I used to deliver the raw bulk ingredients to the Earth Juice Factory in Chico CA. and was able to come up with my own mixture based on what I saw going on there that works great and smell just like the real deal...Here how you do it. i use about a cup of kelp meal, one cup green sand, 1oz. mollasses, and 1-2 bran meal (mollasses and bran meal and then I take 2-3 heavy beers (S.N. Pale Ale or similar ~ real beer has much more yeast and sugars than Bud, Coors, etc.) and pour all into one gallon container. I will then add either a Texas Bat Guano if I'm making a "grow" mix (2 cups or less) or if I'm making a "bloom" mix I will use either a High Phosphorus Bat Guano or Seabird (1-2 cups) (i prefer the seabird). I also like to add a 1/2 cup of soft rock phosphate and a 1/2 cup of bone mea for a little added bonus. You can use bone meal only if your on a tight budget...Next I shake the shit out of it (2-5 minutes) and then place in the sun to let it tea up. 2-3 day for hot weather climates. After this cap and place in a cool dark place for storage.

If you want to use for indoor hydro just use the appropiate screen to filter out the particulate (kelp meal, green sand, fossilized sea bird chunks, etc.) you can use the leftover for the garden or houseplants etc.

So there you go..I haven't calc. out the exact cost per gallon but can promise you its less than 1/4 of what earth juice charges. I add about 1/4 cup to 1 gallon of water and have used much heavier doses without any adverse effects.

They have everything you need...awesome selection and good prices...Just North of Santa Rosa...The people who work their (in the office, field guys are great) are a little cold and are not "friendly" to our type of farmer.....

The only thing is you have to buy 50# sacks...but hey pennies on the dollar in the end. Im using the fossilized sea bird and soft rock phosphate for P, Green Sand for your K (potassium) which helps plants fight disease and tolerate drought, green sand is awesome as it will stay in soil for up to 5 years and the Kelp for your micronutrients (must have)
