keep it simple. quality, peat based, soiless mix with dolomite lime (i.e. metro mix by sun gro), add 10-15% coarse sand water plants only when they need it then water well till it drains from pot fertilize upon transplanting and every 10 days, vary slightly to your schedule fertilize with: base tea: 1 gallon of good water 1/2 cup earthworm castings (1-0-0) 1 tb of high phosphorus bat guano (.5-12-1) 1 tb kelp powder or 1 tsp maxicrop (1-0-4) 1 tb blackstrap molasses (0-0-4) bubble for 24-72 hrs with aquarium pump. stir twice daily. then add this until the 7th day of flowering: (fertilize on that day) 1 tb alaska brand fish emulsion (5-1-1) then replace with this: 1 tb alaska brand morbloom (0-10-10) water plants before fertilizing, use 4 cups fertilizer/12 inch pot, until last week of flowering. catch the runoff and reuse for house plants
i am researching a posible replacement for the morbloom. i like the high phosphate to combine with the guano, but not the high potash. half the amount of potash that morbloom has might be more a more balanced nutrient tea since the kelp and molasses are high in potash also.
if anyone can think of a helpful addition, it would be good to hear. there are all kinds ideas and products. i cannot, at this point, think of anything this tea lacks. it has ample, non-burning, water soluble, base nutes, micronutes, microbial action, humates, ... perhaps a fungus amungus? or some activator catalyst like nitron?
