I am trying to switch to organics recently and I have a cutting that is ready for it's first nutrients... it's beginning to show signs of nitrogen def. I bought the Alaska Fish emulsion fertilizer (5-1-1, OMRI) but the directions are pretty varied. Anyone else use this product before that could give me some pointers? I was planing on using Liquid Karma and a drop of molasses in the mix as well (to chelate the nutrients, I was going to let it sit a day). Thanks for any help you can give me!

I have used Alaska Fish Emulsion before in soil; it worked OK. I followed the directions on the back and adapted as the plant responded. I still use Alaska Fish Emulsion on my outside herbs, such as mint and thyme. Today, I prefer to use Earth Juice. I have used it in soil with much success and am currently trying it in a DWC with what appears to be a excellent grow. It is more expensive, but worth every penny.

When using Alaska Fish Emulsion, I simple put the desired amount of fertilizer in a 1 gallon milk jug, shake, and pour. As with any organic fertilizer, you can let your mixture sit for 24 hours before applying.

Good luck with your grow.

it stinks like fat ho's beaver.

yeh figured that one out when I spilled it on myself, now THAT was a shower I want to forget! Seriously, thanks. I just bought a bottle of earth juice, I think I will flush before I use it though, god the mother plant STINKS! Did work well as a first fertilizer though...

i love Alaska...it is the bomb...it's stinks..but so do my buds...i have great results with it, iuse it at 1 table spoon per gallon along with 2 tsp per gallon of bio-grow, and 1 tsp per gallon of maxi-crop seaweed...I've used this mix for awhile and I swear by it.....Alaska rocks the house as do all my other stinky fertilizers like guano.......

i just got my bottle at home depot on sale for 4 dollars. i put in 1/2 tbsp when i transplanted my small month old plant,but is growin bigger with newer lights.

i figure if you want organics, the stinkiest is the best.

most organics = some animals poop.

i use tagro, short for tacoma grow. tacoma, wa. we use the communities feces in ours and the plants love it

Just got a gallon of Alaska Fish Fertilizer for 18$. I also want to go all organic and go by the OMRI standards(i don't think applys to UK or Canada). I also luckily picked up a bottle of B'CUZZ Bio-NRG which contains molasses and I just found out I happens to break down the fish fertz and aid in chelating. So I started with 2 tsps. per gal. and 1ml per L of Bio-NRG just to see how the ladies react. Hopefully I get no burns or adverse reactions. I will step it up a notch now that I read your post. I also found out that fish fertz contain sulfur to aid as a preservative, which also makes it more acidic. So no need to add sulfur and always PH the brew and rinse the stinky meter. Also Alaska Fish Fertilizer does'nt contain essential micro nutrients so it has to be supplemented with other fertz.

i have it too..its supposed to be good shit..so does any1 use itZ??

I don't use this brand,but I use Fish emulsion.. great results
This is great choice...
