| Seedlings Per Gallon of Soil, mixed in before planting. ¼ Tablespoon Blood Meal ½ Tablespoon Bat Guano I always start my plants off with soil that has absolutely no added fertilizer like Whitney Farms Seed Starting Mix. I add a very small amount of Blood Meal and Bat Guano high in Nitrogen to this inert soil as a method of propagating more female plants. You must be sure you put very, very small amounts of fertilizer in the seedling mix. You could also leave any fertilizers out until the cotelydons start to yellow and add liquid fertilizers like Earth Juice Grow as needed before transplanting to the richer vegetative mix. Vegetative Per Gallon of Soil, mixed in before planting. 2 Tablespoons - Bat Guano (10-3-1) 2 Tablespoons - Bone Meal (3-15-0) 2 Tablespoons - Green Sand (0-0-3) 3 Tablespoons - Kelp Meal (1-0.1-2) 1 Tablespoons - Blood Meal (13-0-0) 2 Tablespoons - Gypsum 10% of soil mix - Worm Castings 50% of soil mix – Perlite Flowering Per Gallon of Soil, mixed in before planting. 2 Tablespoons - Bat Guano (10-3-1) 1 Tablespoons - Bone Meal (3-15-0) 1 Tablespoons – Indonesian Bat Guano (0-13-0) 2 Tablespoons - Green Sand (0-0-3) 3 Tablespoons - Kelp Meal (1-0.1-2) 1/2 Tablespoons - Blood Meal (13-0-0) 2 Tablespoons - Gypsum 10% of soil mix - Worm Castings 50% of soil mix – Perlite My vegetative mix allows me to just water during vegetative with no added fertilizer. I just use straight Reverse-Osmosis water with nothing added. The plants are real green during vegetative and make it quit clear to me they need nothing added. Now, I have made a slight revision in that I do use Maxi-Crop Liquid Seaweed for added potassium and micronutrients. Molasses, Green Fuse Root, Liquid Karma, and/or Earth Juice Catalyst in small amounts are also used. They do not need to be added and you’ll still have a very nice mix for vegetative without adding these stimulators. Liquid Fertilizers I use Earth Juice Bloom and Catalyst to supplement the flowering mix during flowering, and with the acidity of the Earth Juice I use a very small amount of potassium bicarbonate (Earth Juice Up). I use Fox Farm Bloom for micronutrients and as a floral enhancer. I also use Molasses, Green Fuse Bloom Stimulator, and Maxi-Crop Liquid Seaweed. Note: Each Tablespoon of Earth Juice Grow, Bloom, Catalyst, or Microblast requires a ½ teaspoon of Earth Juice Up to bring the pH to between 6 and 7. The vegetative and flowering mixes are very similar. You’ll notice that the high nitrogen Blood Meal is toned down in the flowering mix as well as the high phosphorus Indonesian Bat Guano is added. The Bone Meal is also toned down, which makes the flowering mix more diversified in phosphorus fertilizers but not necessarily higher. I leave the rising of phosphorus levels during flowering largely to the added liquid fertilizers. This is the soil I’m using with the vegetative and flowering mixes. You can substitute another organic soil; just look into how much fertilizer is in it and what the pH is. You may or may not need a little Dolomite Lime to neutralize acidity. I’ve found I don’t need it with this soil/fertilizer mix. When I used the Dolomite Lime my pH would get too high during flowering. I’ve put Gypsum in the mix to replace the Calcium I was getting from the Dolomite Lime. Uncle Malcolm's Special Blend (Whitney Farms) There's not normally a tremendous amount of fertilizer in these soil mixes, so adding more fertilizer in the amounts above is a good idea for vigorous growing marijuana plants. Formulated for consistent, high quality, superb drainage, and ideal pH, as well as optimal moisture and nutrient retention. Contains an all-natural fertilizer that includes kelp meal, bat guano, sunflower hull ash, and feather meal.
