I'm trying this https://coastofmaine.com/product/bumpercrop/. I did about 70% this mixed with 30% native soil and added fish fert. Did that about 2 weeks ago and won't be planting till May. Time release nutes are not a good idea imo.

I love espoma dry ferts and fox farms happy frog bulb food.
Between the two you get everything you need plus it's loaded with fungus and bacteria.

Slow release nutes added to the compost/organic stuff WILL cause problems. By problems I mean burn and lockout.
That'll be way too much. So pick one or the other.
Adding promix to the soil will work just fine. (I assume you're adding it to native soil)

I'd like to disagree....
It depends on the slow release nutes that one uses. Bone meal..green sand..feather meal etc is all slow release. As long as you choose a mix that is lower in nitrogen like I do... you can control the n. And not give it any during flower because it has enough. That is the magic of organic growing. The micro life in the soil will mine what the plant needs as it needs it and then all you have to do is water. You have very to little chance of burn when using organics.
It's the non organic slow release that is the problem...

P.s. proof here....
Only thing I gave these was molasses during all of veg..but honestly didn't have to.

That what I was assuming the OP was talking about because other things were mentioned by name. Which is why I suggested not to combine them.
Also using certain organic stuff and guerrilla growing means bad news. Blood and Bone meal attracts predators that tend to dig for an easy snack. Raccoons tend to go bonkers over fish stuff. I've had 25 holes in a patch dug strait up because of coons and organics lol. You have to really prepare accordingly if those little guys are anywhere near your spot.

The reason I dug my holes for outdoors two months early is so that the varmints check out and molest the dirt before I put my plants in them. By the time my plants are in the ground critters are no longer interested in what's in the dirt.

That sucks that that happened to you. I wonder why all these yrs of growing and I haven't had one problem with coons.

Amen to that, slow release osmocote is a good way to go out in the back woods.
Bears and other critters sure do like to dig up plants to investigate bone meal and blood meal.

One thing I've found helpful in the beginning of the year, take a small container of powdered Jack's classic or something similar and mix up some liquid nutes on site when you water. Gets them vegging well, until the osmocote begins to dissolve and do its thing.

Good mix looks like. I use the time release, but sparingly. Use too much and you can taste it in the smoke. And as others have said, stay away from all the smelly stuff. Or if you do use it, dig your holes a couple months early.

If you have any mushroom farms near you, mushroom compost is a low cost option. I mix it with peat moss, potting soil and lots of manure composts.

How far are you out in the woods?
If it's outdoors for me it's out in the wilderness where people generally don't go. That spot in particular was deep in the woods along a river. All kinds of critters out there using it as a watering station I assume. They probably figured something to eat was buried in there while out foraging. Raccoon tracks for sure though.
I've had the veggie garden rummaged through as well using organics on it until I fenced it in nicely.
Wildlife is pretty diverse in my area and plentiful. It's not uncommon to hear packs of coyotes at night downing prey and I could literally hunt deer by opening my bathroom window and aiming out with a rifle lol.

The biggest componant of most organic ferts is chicken shit. Coons and all sorts of other critters will dig that shit up. Or in the case of cats, rip open the bag and scatter the shit all over the barn floor.

I set mine out on floating bogs,haul bails of promix out dump 10-15 gal piles around then set up 10 gal grow bags on top of the piles with bottem cut out wrap the bags in wire the roots grow down into the water,only reason I water all season is to get some ferts into them

I bet they get massive I may have to start mine in may. To keep size down a little. Are you using organic or synthetic ferts?

Edit:I see pics now yeah that's the size I want. But being over the swamp... Does that cause high humidity?
