Default How do you DIY your own organic fertilizers
I am on my second grow.

The first was ok, but I had heat issues and nute lockout from PH problems. The buds were very airy. The smoke was good but I definitely wanted to improve on the next grow.

I decided to go organics using Blazeoneups organic soil recipe. Basically the recipe is as follows.

Sphagnum peat moss with foxfarm soil at a ratio of two to one.

30% perlite
bone meal
blood meal
dolomite lime

I have to say this grow is going great. I have addressed the heat issues, and to my understanding with organic growing PH is not really that much of an issue as opposed to growing chemically.

My question is through my reading I have grown a lot of respect for organic growing.

I have started a worm farm where I am composting the soil from the last grow and have thrown in some shrimp shells (Grond up), Egg Shells (Ground up), lawn cuttings, banana peals, brocolli, green peppers, etc etc. I also threw in a few strawberries, mango, and bananas, that I dehydrated.

I have some oyster shells but haven't quite figured out how to crush them up yet.

But back to my question.

I have read about kelp meal, Fish meal, soil meal, sea weed, etc etc.

I heard you can take sushi raps, grind them up and make kelp meal.

Also seawead from the ocean. Rinse it real good let it dry, and you have seaweed fertilizer.

Now aside from Guano I would like to know if anyone know how to DIY your own organic fertilizer, without having to purchase ones from stores on line,

You know like what can I buy from the grocery store to make my own.

Although my soil mix is considered a super soil, I would like to have some extra stuff just in case towards the end of a plants life cycle I might need to add something

Default Pics of my current grow
Wanna share some pics of my current grow.

They were veg for 6 weeks (18hours light 6 hours darkness). Started in jiffy starter disk for one week.

Transplanted in one quart container, then transplanted into 3 gallon square buckets.

I am using 400 watt bulbs (MH then HPS) with cooltube.

I would get some compost tea if you are in soil. Its premixed natural based nutrients that will be available slowly.
