    Default question flora nova bloom at day 41 flowering in supersoil

    I have a supersoil recipe, I am not sure it is strong enough, my plants seem to have hit a plateau so I thought I would give em some bottled nutes I had bought from last year. Its flora nova bloom, I was wondering if it would be stupid to use it at this point since my plants were grown organically. Also I wanna know if it will decrease the microbes in my soil since it's made of chemical? Would it be smarter to use liquid kelp and molasses instead? I really feel like my plants could use a little boost of overall nutrient, the AK has lost quite a bit of leaves. Thank you all for your help.

    liquid kelp is mostly K. molasses does not have enough npk in to effect anything drastically. A good idea would be to spend 50 bucks or so and get some bottled organic nutes. or get some peruvian seabird guano 10-10-0 and use it with kelp and molasses. The problem with that is i don't think it will release as fast as organic bottled nutes but im not sure about that. Then again since you are so far along in flowering it might be a good idea to use floranova once or twice because it releases quick and top dress with the rest.

    I second the bottled nutes idea. I don't know if you have considered it or not, but PH may become a problem once you bring synthetic nutes into the mix. An organic product will buffer itself, for the most part anyway.

    I have yet to try the Super Soil so by no means do I speak from experience here, but I have seen the results and c'mon...they speak for themselves - the stuff is amazing. Fantastic soil or not though, some strains are just downright ridiculously heavy feeders and folks find themselves coming up shy towards the end of things. I have used the General Organics line, and I do speak from experience now though. I have no intentions of ever using anything else ever again. AMAZING results from the "GO" line.

    Get yourself a bottle of their Bio Bud (.5 - .1 - 1) and maybe just to be safe, some of the BioThrive Bloom (2 - 4 - 4) and you'll be laughin'. The bloom has molasses in it, by the way.

    An afterthought here:
    What about foliar feeding? Obviously you can't just go in with a spray bottle and drench everything now that there are buds in full bloom, but I'd imagine spraying only the leaves with a 1-1-1 mix (or something similar, with a decent amount of nitrogen) wouldn't hurt anything?

    Of course, to those of you in the know on this sort of thing - please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thanks for the reply, hopefully I can get a couple more opinions on that matter! The fact that the nutes are readily available in the bottle is why I wanted to give them some. It says on the bottle that it has some PH balancer of some sort. I have it brewing right now and it's one of the most foamy compost tea I made so far, so I don't think that the microbe life will be affected. Now I am mostly worry about it fukin up the PH... if the hydrostore is open today maybe I will go for some organic bottled nutes. The problem is I wanted to stay away from bottled nutes, what other organic growers are using when wanting to give some quick release food to their ladies. Wetdog or Jack Herer if you read this I wouldnt mind your view on using flora nova bloom at this point. Thanks a bunch


    LVTDY, if you would see the screen (it's a scrog), you would see that it is next to impossible to foliar feed without touching the buds plus the plant that I am the most worry about has lost all of it's main leaves, so the only leaves left are around the buds...

    Late to the party, but I've used 'light' doses of chem nutes to correct deficiency's in my organic mix.

    Didn't seem to hurt anything. I also corrected with a top dress of whatever which would kick in about the time the chems were depleted in a couple of weeks.
