Hey guys, I am trying to make the switch to organics....Right now I have a plant vegging in Promix, lime, wc, perlite, and Epsoma Garden Tone....It seems to be doing well.....

Since I don't have time to cook up a new soil, as it will be flowering soon, is there an Epsoma product I can toss into a mix with that other stuff to make a soil for flowering ?

was wondering if one of these might be ok ?

flower tone 3-4-5

or tomato tone 3-4-6

or maybe bulb tone 3-5-3 ?

I'm thinking about getting a bubbler with airstone to brew some teas as well....

thanks, SC

Hey, I love to use Espoma products because they include bennie's in the mix. I think the flower tone or tomato tone would be your best bet. I have had a lot of success as of late with Uprising Bloom from Aurora, they are the same folks who make Roots Organic soil. Great product, all organic too.

I would avoid mixing the Espoma into your soil unless it's going to have some time to break down before you plant in it.

Instead, try top dressing with the Espoma and watering it in with a compost tea (not necessary, but helpful). By top dressing, you'll get a slow release as the stuff breaks down and leaches nutrients into your soil. If you mix it into the soil, it'll break down much faster, possibly buring your plants.

I use the plant tone in my soil. Plants love it. Since no cook time I'd brew a tea withit and top dress. Throw some molasses In as well to get everybody happy

I just realized the garden tone is 3-4-4....the plant is super super green....Odd since the N isn't all that high with the garden tone....Anyone think I'd be ok using the garden tone in flowering ?

It's kinda high in the p but since it's organic your plant will take what it wants. So yeah rock n fucking roll with the garden tone brotha

I use the Tomato Tone as an amendment to my soil. I let it compost for 4 to 6 weeks before using. I should have bought the Garden Tone as it has magnesium added. I water with Epson salt monthly with the Tomato Tone.

All of Espoma organics are great IMO.

thanks for the reply...

I'm using the garden tone right now in vegging, and the plant has really started loving it...It was a stunted runt, and now she is growing nice....I also did not cook the soil at all.
