I'm looking for the highest nitrogen content for vegetive, and the highest phosforous & potassium for flowering. Just peoples opinoins on their favourites, plus price is an issue so looking for cheap ones.

Age Old Organics Grow & Bloom
Metanaturals nitrogen
guano
alfalfa blends
blood meal
bone meal

guano teas are easy to make and are pretty damn cheap.

Tip: Never forget what it is that you are growing. Do ya spend a few bucks for a quality fert...or do ya go out and buy a $400 ounce from someone else 'cus the ferts/equipment to grow with is "too expensive"??

go for the a quality fert and use it 1/2 strength if you want to save $$$.

Otherwise...step right up...we got yer $400 ounce right here...

good luck

I've bought a box of blood & bone meal today. Was thinking of mixing wormcastings in with that to boost up the nitrogen for veg. Does that sound like a good mix of organic fert??

Could be good. I would use it a 1/3 to 1/2 strength that is recommended and I would make a "tea" out of it and use the water to fert the plants rather than mixing it in with the soils. Blood/bone tend to mold/form algae on the top of the soil and in **all** cases...once you mix something in with you soil or you use a pre-ferted soil you can never get it out or stop it from releasing in the soil of you have a problem later. With a tea you can stop using it and stop the intro of nutes.

keep in mind that these are slower release ferts than chemmies.. you need to give em a bit of time to work.

good luck

Yes, I want to make a tea out of my blood & bone meal but theres no directions for this (amounts to mix etc) on the box. It just says you put on the top of soil. I think its because the bone will not dissolve very well. The particles of bone in it are very small so I'm just gonna try it anyway. Just gonna disolve maybe 2 handfulls in a couple of gallons over few days. Does that sound about the right quantities?? Dont want to burn plants.

some info here on a few amendments...

Where can you get Cheap Natural Fertilizers and Soil Amendments? -

I'd go easy at first, for sure. Two handfuls seems like a bunch.

I recommend you use an airpump and airstone and bubble yer tea for 24 hours or so. Search for compost tea on the net. Lots of info there...

good luck

Ifound that blood and bone isnt a great choice for indoor growing as it attracted alot of bugs.

I was thinking about just getting a big bucket or one of them big plastic bins and pouring in some blood & bone mix and leaving it, but the problem is guessing the ammount as its only supposed to be used on the top of soil.

Take my advice - don't grow organically. Your attitude is all wrong for organic growing, organic growing is nothing to do with the strength of the nutrients, and everything to do with the quality of the organic nutrients.

If you want strong chemical based nutrients - grow hydro, you'll be much happier than with organics, and the nasty chemical nutrients used are as cheap as chips compared to quality Organic nutrients

While babygro certainly has one opinion for you, I believe you are not totally understanding the concept involved.

I can understand where you are coming from though, being Italian, we like to think more is always better, it is not in the case of growing pot, especially growing organically.

Growing organically has to do with knowing what you are putting into your body, and usually less is better in the case of nutrients for your pot plants.

It is a weed, and will grow, almost in spite of you, most new growers will "micro manage" there grow. This is not a good thing. Finding a good organic line of nutes is one step, after that, it is obvious, you still need to do some reading, on "how-to".

Check out the FAQ's available here and on many other web sites too, they have a wealth of information, and will aid you in setting out a game plan.

Rather than looking for the "strongest" nutes for your babies, try looking for what strain you might want to try your hand at growing.
Growing bagseed is a crap shoot, and not the best stratergy for a first time grow, in my opinion.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post them, or PM someone.
Good luck to ya dude!
Peace
