As i embark on this journey of organics. i've come to a point where i need to find the best bloom fert. I'll be using a mix similar to Soma therefore eliminating the need for veg fertilizer. My question is since i put my family first before growing, i need to find a liquid fertilizer which will last longer than others; i.e. Bio bizz recommends 1/4tsp per gallon h20, budswel recommends 1/2 tsp per gallon of h20--not exact dosages.
Catch what i mean? Preferably i would like something i can just add to water and use instantly.
I'm not to worried about the micro nutes since i have unsulphered molasses.

P.S. this is for soil

Hey kailiwela44,

I'm an old dirt bagger. The only fertilizers I use are bone meal (for phosphorus) and blood meal (for nitrogen). I mix a 40# bag of hyponex and about 40% perlite, to which I add about a cup of bone meal (0-12-0), and 1/2 cup of blood meal (10-0-0). This is all they get for a couple of weeks. Then, once a week, I give them 2 teaspoons of bone meal, mixed with the top inch or two of soil. I have been doing it this way for a few months, now, and haven't had any nute burn or other adverse effects.

I quit adding fertilizer to the water, because I always had to adjust the pH. Now, I don't bother checking pH. They get water only, for the last week or so, before harvest.

Works for me.

Pappy,
Since you use 40# of Hyponex mix with perlite, How many gallons of your mix do you come out with? You mainly do top feeding during the first weeks of flowering only?

Thanks,
kailiwela44

I'm not sure of how many gallons of mix.

They get 2 teaspoons of bone meal, only, worked into the top inch or so. That's it.

Last week or so, they get water with molasses.

Thanks Pappy...went and bought some bone meal (1-7-0). I only put 1/2tsp to start. Then i'll increase it as the time goes on.
