Here is what I am doing...

*jamesgang* · 08-23-2002, 06:01 PM

Am planting soon into this mixture after 1.5 weeks of birth:

50% miracle grow potting mix with moisture control

30% perlite

20% worm casings

1tbls per gallon of blood meal

1tbls per gallon of bone meal

Am going to sprinkle a little bat guano on top.

And will ph the soil to 6.0 before transplanting.

1 week before flowering I will add some salt peter and no salt every 3rd waterings to enhance the buds.

Is this ok Organic?

alfalpha meal is a much better choice......hardwood ash, canelope, banana, potatoe rind ash are XLNt sources of pot ash.... blood & bone meal can carry the incurable MadCow virus.

mad cow?

can u explain?

Don't inhale bone meal dust- it is made from cow bones, who may possibly carry mad cow disease.

Your mix looks fine to me, jamesgang.
I do use alfalfa meal, but in addition to those other ammendments, or later as a tea.

Thanks for clearing up that mad cow thing.

What I was trying to say through last nights stupor

was that by itself, alfalfa is an almost perfect veg fert & kelp for flowering.teas are probably best.
MadCow is a very lethal disease that turns the brain into a spongy matter. There was an outbreak in England awhile back. Here, testing is inadequate. They have found it in a coyote in Utah ( i believe) & the first human case was recently found in Wyoming. Bloodmeal would probably carry it before bonemeal. Why chance it.

in a recent issue of the above mentioned mag., There was a reference to using used tampons in soil, or hydro, the author said that there has not been a plant she has grown without a part of her in it

who's got some idea for dosages of tampons?

I once mailed someone a used tampon, along with a pile of dog ****. I don't know why he got so mad; I was only trying to help him fertilize his plants.

Remind me not to cross you

By the way, what the heck is your avatar picture of? It's too small to tell.

It's a wolf howling with a moon. I guess I'll change it if people can't tell what it is. It's hard to get a good image with the pixel limit.
