Made by Ferti-Lome - Fish Emulsion 5-1-1 (.5% Am Nitrogen, 4.5% Other Water Soluble Nitrogen

I am doing a full flower cycle indoors with Dyna Gro 9-3-6. I am unable to get more of the 9-3-6 for some weeks and I have run out.
I have a bottle of Dyna Gro 7-9-5 to use up. I picked up this Fish Emulsion from a nursery. My thought was to use the Fish Emulsion along with the DG 7-9-5 in an attempt to achieve something like 15-9.5-5.5. This is just to use until I can get some more 9-3-6 in hand. Most likely, this crop will be finished before I get the 9-3-6.
I am considering giving one feeding of just the fish emulsion for a little bump in Nitrogen before easing off to lighter feeding for the final 3 weeks.

Does anyone have experience using Fish Emulsion in something similar to a coco coir drain to waste system?
Just how slow is the availability of water soluble nitrogen to the plants? Any thoughts?

I have used alaska 5-1-1- in past, i dont know if you did take a test ph of this 5-1-1 ? its very acidic. I have found better alternative is GH Maxi Gro (dry fertz), it will make your leaves more greener.

Im still running with DG 7-9-5 with GH maxi gro, it still looks good !

and nice picture in your avatar :D

happy gardening

Due to high mercury as well as other pollutants, which are likely concentrated in the carcasses, I would not use fish emulsion

I use 5-1-1 fish emulsion during flower. It helps keep my ladies nice and green throughout flowering. I also keep my regular bloom nute schedule along with the fish. Don't use it outside or the critters will smell it and dig your babies up.

I used it outside before reading this... 20 seconds after watering some of this in to some raised beds, 3 cats are in the backyard checking things out.
Good call. I'll have to be careful with this.

Racoons really love to dig plants up using fish products.
