Hi there, my nutrients ran out and my online order got jacked by this COVID situation, so I'm trying to figure out what to do until my nutes come next Wednesday.

Can I use Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 for my auto-flower GG during veg this week?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AWESOME!

I should mention that each plant has its own reservoir. Each with its own pump and filter. So I can flush pretty easily, too. They're actually Tetra aquarium pump/filters.

You don't want to use the fish emulsion; it's not readily available to the plant (it has to be broken down in the soil) as you need it to be in a DWC situation. Not to mention, that stuff stinks and will for sure cause you a mess to clean up at some point. If it were me, and my hands were tied, I'd try getting a water soluble, granular fertilizer from one of the big box stores and use it until your stuff comes in. I don't think you'll like the results of running your plants on no nutrients for 5 or 6 days. Good luck.

Cool, I'll head over there now. Should I dilute the same as on the packaging or less for DWC? Thanks again for your help.

I have no idea friend. Under typical circumstances, I wouldn't advise using it at all, but it doesn't sound like you have too many options. Whatever, you do, I would go cautiously...perhaps try it on one plant vs. all of them...be sure you're not burning them all up at once. Otherwise, I can only wish you luck.

THINK ABOUT THIS SOLUTION BEFORE JUST DOING IT...OTHERS HERE MAY HAVE BETTER OPTIONS. BE PATIENT TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY.

No problem I was gonna say I found the miracle Gro liquid all purpose plant food and that is very similar to the aero garden plant food in fact it may be exactly the same I’ll have to check but either way that’s about as close as it’s going to come for Hydro nutrients at the big box storeimage.jpgimage.jpg

Well this answers my question as well as I wrap up my soil grow 4/20, then transitioning to a Jack herer auto dwc grow.
I got all types of soil ferts but nothing except....shit, maybe, no. 1/4 portions? no....damnit, MG All Purpose 38-12-20 or something blue crystals? Until GHs products come through?
I'm wishing A)covid isn't real(starting to believe this) so I can easily obtain my ferts or B)That i hadn't gotten bored with my soilless medium grows and one night (because carts are cooking my brain)I decided to purchase two entire recirculating DWC kits....

Do I use the MG or can the dwc and go FF Hf/of?
