Alaska fish fertilzer

yes but you can do much better. I'd return it and get a box of alfalfa or kelp meal instead.

if your bent on fish fertilizer, go for a hydrolysate- not a emulsion- and organic! non-organic fish products are soaked in toxic chemicals when processed.

 

recent thread with lots of info about fish fert

Hmmmm, have a bottle of this as well....curious if should continue to use...I like the "Neptune", seaweed mix they have...as well as old school maxiCrop

 

Neptune nutes imo are good, alaska isn't. I'm not an expert on it but I'd say ask chunk or jerry

 

Ohh, I wouldn't say they are worthless; I would, however recommend fish hydrolysate over fish emulsion.

 

[quote name='"tsunamichamp"']Does anyone use that stuff? Just got a bottle today. I know it says no burn on it and I read the labels. But I was curious of when you use it and how much.

Thanks![/quote]

Don't trust where it says no burn. Start with a quarter tablespoon and work up to a spoon per gallon. I'd only use it in veg and early flower because it can effect the flavor of your buds and the heavy metals in the fish (I believe) are bad to smoke. I don't think its a big deal to use in veg though and personally I love the stuff when my plants need a little extra N. It cures yellowing in a snap.

I wouldn't use it on too young of clones though. You don't want to burn them. A little kelp, alfalfa, and castings would be safer for young plants IMO.

 

You are much...much...much better off with Organic Gem or Neptunes 100% fish hydrolysate. If in Canada Great Pacific Bioproducts fish hydrolysate.

 

Would this be the Neptune,we are speaking of??,

Neptunes harvest or Eco Nutrients (cheaper option if ur on the west coast or can find distribution). For all Fish hydrosylate and Kelp products

I prefer Microbemans suggestions, that's all. I don't use Hydrolysate very often anymore; my last jug of Neptunes lasted me 2 years.

haha...what can i say, he's got mad skill with organics, but i did some research on it and it seemed like a good choice seeing as how i don't have the ability right now to brew teas and shit like that...im using CFLs and i add epsom to the mix for the lack in Mg and boy do i got some dense women right now

 

Definitely like that general organics for indoors works very well

 

I love alaska it's is the bomb to my buds give me great results at time i m using 1 table spoon per gallon alon with the 2 tsp per gallon of bio-grow and 1 tsp per gallon of maxi-crop seaweed
