First Organic Grow - question

So we are running 5 feminized plants in 2 gal planters sitting in a plastic kitty-litter tray. Running a 400w system, and 12/12 from seed. I bottom water the plants and they seem to love it. They have been fed fish emulsion since germination, and last week I saw pistils, so I switched to Earth Juice Bloom Formula, which contains no Nitrogen. This is the first time I'm going all organic, and was wondering what you all think. Should I expect N deficiencies later in flowering, or have my plants absorbed enough during veg to coast them throughout flowering?DSCN0867.JPG

You will still need to provide a source of N during flower.

Virtually ALL bloom formulations are too low in N.

I use a higher N start to finish.

Try to get your NUTE formula to around 2-1-3 for bloom in NPK.

NPK 1-3-2 sounds more like it for bloom. I may just add a little fish emulsion into the earth juice mix if I start seeing N deficiencies.

too much N in flower makes really leafy plants and buds, stay away from N and calcium if possible.
