![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | This is my favorite recipe because everything is available locally. its kind of alot of things to buy, but you use very little. and only a few bottles are used at a time, so you can pay as you go. each bottle is about 8-10 bucks. i think they are 16oz bottles. keep in mind this recipe is meant to be put in a bucket with aerator {air stone, fountain pump etc} for 24-48 hours before being served to the plants. also its meant to be given every other watering. Fish and Seaweed (This is sooo easy) For veg growth… 1 capful 5-1-1 Fish Emulsion 1 capful Neptune's Harvest 0-0-1 Seaweed or Maxicrop liquid 1 gallon H2O For early flowering… 1 tbs. Neptune’s Harvest 2-3-1 Fish/Seaweed 1 gallon H2O For mid to late flowering… 1 tbs. Neptune’s Harvest 2-4-1 Fish 1 gallon H2O On a side note there are plenty of one part nutrients available out there. Botanicare PBP works OK for me in soil, as long as i stick to half strength of whats listed on the bottle. i never test the ph and all seems good. one bottle for veg, one for bloom. each bottle is about 18 bucks/quart at the local hydromart. i have had zero success with this stuff in hydro. GH Floranova is another pseudo semi organic one part nutrient in a bottle that alot of people have success with. Last edited by Luke Highwalker; 06-22-2009 at 09:28 PM.. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | yeah ive been going through some growing pains lately... if you use organic nutes toss ph adjuster out the window. PBP is organic enough for this rule to apply. i grew up on advanced nutrients...great stuff, keep the ph where the bottle says and your shits golden! but this requires 3 bottles of nutes, 2 bottles of ph adjuster and a ph/ec meter. so you are looking at an initial upstart cost of about 150-200 bucks for all that crap. Botanicare gave me fits at first...the ph was WACK. once i realized either the bottle is either terribly mislabeled, misleading or im just a moron all was good. at the recomended dose i got over 2000ppm and ph of 3.7 100gallons of ph up later and a bunch of half assed plants i tried what everyone told me all along. halfed the dosage. ph is now perfect, ppm is perfect. i never touch my ec/ph pen anymore. i never touch the ph up or down. notta. i just mix with tap water, add cal-mag 5ml per gallon every other feeding and call it good. fox farms is good stuff too..same thing. set it and forget it. the chemical nutes have given me far better results as far as weight, but the "organics" are much less hassle once i got it figured out, and the smoke tastes much better. | ||
