I have flowering plants right now that r about 4 weeks into it. I have a soiless mix with all the meals stated in the title plus lime and mushroom compost. My question is will i need to add any organic nutes to the water to give it extra boost or should i b ok with nothing but molasses? They are looking good, i just want to b able to max out their potential if possible.

Well, what are the npk ratios? How much did you add?

You're basically at the business end of your grow, if you've done well enough this far without deficiencies, you should be fine.

Although, you can still make a tea with the bone and kelp meal.

I added 1/2 cup of blood and kelp meal per cubic foot and i believe 1 cup of bone meal per. Not totally sure. I have it written down but im at work and dont have access to it right now. The same for the NPK ratios. Its been so long since i mixed the dirt i forget all the detais. Im guessin ill b ok since u said if i have no defficiency then it should b ok. Thx alot for ur information

You ought to be GTG, but my first run with LC's, some of the amounts were a little light, especially the N. I've since switched to alfalfa instead of blood, but no definate results as of yet.

The first time, I used Earth Juice to take up the slack, but you should be ok with teas of what you have on hand if the need arises.

At this point in flowering the only thing you would need to add is more Phosphorous, but there aren't very many organic sources of phosphorous that will break down and be available before the plant is done.

So to make a tea I would take the type of meal I need and put in a pantyhose or something like that and drop it in a bucket of water with a bubbler for about a day? I've never made a tea before

Yup, that'll do the trick
