Default First grow, looking for some organic advice.
I'm germinating right now, have my veg room setup and am finishing the flowering area now.

For veg, I have a drip irrigation system that I've setup, and for flowering I've made an ebb/flow system. The medium I'm using is Rockwool. Veg will be done under CFL, Flowering under HPS.

From all of the reading I've done I've got a good handle on everything but nutrients.

I understand all of the different plant problems that arise and how to adjust your nutrients to fix these things, but as far as just what to use during a regular grow, i'm not sure. (and I know a lot of these problems are more related to chemical nutrients than organic ones)

I am aware that I shouldn't use nutrients at their full strength when the plants are just starting, and that only water is used during the last stages of flowering.

So, given my setup and the fact that I want to try and do this organically, what nutrients should I be looking at trying to use on my plants.

I know there is no right or wrong answer, but I'm looking to get advice and opinions from anyone here about what they are using if it could apply to me.

Thanks for all the help!

well im in the same stage as u in almost every way man, ive got seedlings that just germinated. im guna do my whole grow with a hps is the only dif.

as far as ur ? i jus ordered the BMO from ebay, they have some great stuff so ive herd.

if i was more of an expert id give u a feeding schedule but it really depends on what u get. micro germys are very important and in alot of ur organic ferts and teas.

the most important part is to watch ur plants and see how they react each week, it takes a while ta get each strain perfect....if you even can that is.

Koalas ...... Since you are hydro growing, let me recommend some easy to use nutes.... Bontanicare Pure Blend Pro Series, Earth Juice (both at most online hydro stores like Wormsway) and Blue Mountain Organics (on Ebay). With all of these, start at a quarter strength dose, check pH & TDC/EC daily - and add upwards, low, slow & steady.
.
Keep TDS in the same range as chem hydro nutes and you will not have any problems.
.
After you get used to organic growing or if your prefer to DIY (do it yourself), check out the thread - Making Tea is EZ & cheap on this forum. It has lots of helpful info about making your own ferts.
.
Hope this helps...
Keep it Real....Organic.....

what i do and it works for me is, i have access to woodlands. there i rake back the leaves then i begin raking the top layer of soil until i get a pile of dirt . i put the dirt in a 5gl bucket or as much as you need sifting it threw fine mesh wire. wow. its full of good stuff and bad. probably should be sterilized although i don't and haven't had any problems so far. how natural can you get ?

i heard you can run boiling water,baking, or microwaving the dirt, I'm afraid of killing the good things along with the bad things so i use it unsteralized, so far so good, but i know that it could harm my plants if i get unlucky. good luck!
