Need to find minor Nutes. +rep for help

I'm a newbie on my first grow, but I'm a fast learner. I made a mistake when mixing my pots and added bone & blood meal to FFOF.

I'm about a month in now and the minor nute burns stopped about a week ago. I fed for the first time with 1/3 teaspoon per gallon of Tiger Bloom to give them some K, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, & Zn. Also N & P, but they should still have some from bone & blood meal. And I gave each 5 gallon pot 4 cups.

My plants look great, perky as heck and I think the runt that I was worried about grew about an inch in 24 hrs. The Durban Poison's don't look very impressed, but the other 5 are looking beautiful.

Fist off just to see if I'm getting off on the right foot, I'm planning to feed every other watering which will put feeding about 10 days apart. I was thinking on the next feeding to mix a 1/3 teaspoon of Tiger Bloom with a qtr dose (1/2 table spoon) of Fish Emulsion Fert 5-1-1. Then the following feeding 1/3 teaspoon of Tiger Bloom mixed with 1/3 teaspoon of Blackstrap Molasses (10% K). Then one more dose of Tiger Bloom & Fish Emulsion before flower. Is this dumb in any way?

The main question, Tiger Bloom has some minor nutes but not all. I'm still missing Sulphur, Calcium, Magnesium, & Molybdenum. Where can I find a product I can use on plants that has these nutes?

Thanks & +rep for help.

Anyone? Can I just buy stuff off the shelf of my grocery store that has those minor nutes, or buy vitamins or dietary supplements with the stuff? What are my options? Anyone?

Don't think that's a good idea mixing your own. Some of that you need to wear a mask when mixing. Nasty stuff and no reason to do it. Lots of mineral supplements out there .

Get yourself a bottle of Cal-Mag Plus from Botanicare. Use it at quarter recommended and slowly move to 50% recommended if the plant will take it.

This is definately a great way to get the calcium, magnesium and iron. But I'm still mistting the Sulphur & Molybdenum.

Before I realized you gave the name of the place to buy I did a search for Cal-Mag who obviously also makes dietary suplements.
I found this on that search http://www.nutritionsurplus.com/index.cfm/FuseAction/Shopping.ProductDetails/productid/35869/Fundamental Sulfur 750mg 100t.html which I thought might work as an addative to the Cal-Mag Plus, but then I noticed that there's a lot less Molybdenum then there is sulphur.

So I kept looking and found these http://www.nutritionsurplus.com/index.cfm/FuseAction/Shopping.ProductDetails/productid/36970/Schwef-Heel 50ml.html http://www.nutritionsurplus.com/index.cfm/FuseAction/Shopping.ProductDetails/productid/34550/Molybdenum(Liquid) 1oz.html
They're both a liquid which should make them safer to handle. But one has ethyl alcohol and the other has Purified water, lactic acid, citric acid, potassium sorbate, & benzyl alcohol which I'm not sure is safe for plants. But if the added ingredients are safe, would putting a little of them in a quart of the Cal-Mag Plus be a good idea to get every minor nute?

Wish I could +rep ya twice, that's some serious stuff. Too bad they're closed or I'd be driving there now. lol

I'm guessing you meant the folliage Dyna-Grow. It's hard to tell, there are several and they don't list prices on the Dynagrow site so I can't figure it out that way. (I'm not obsessive, nah. lol)

Wow Jacks Classic has a lot of different stuff too. Well, I'm gonna be up all night reading. lol Do you get it at Paulino's or on the net?

Sorry for not remembering, I must have either been in the middle of an emergency, over tired, or shit faced. lol I got them saved to favorites now though.

Get it at Paulinos, they are very helpful and have most everything we need at decent prices

It's a drive, but I'll be going there tommorow so I can give my girls a small dose on the next feeding.

Do they know you by a nick name or something so I can tell them you recommended them to me? Maybe they'll give ya a discount for directing business their way.

Blackstrap molasses has all these as well, just make sure you don't buy unsulphured (DUH!). Much cheaper too BTW, and your organics in your FFOF will love it.

I didn't know it came any other way. I went to a big health food store and they had a whole shelf of the stuff, and every one was unsluphured. All it has is potasium. But I found a fertilizer that has all the minor nutes, all I have to do is find a local store that sells the folliage one from their line.

Riddle me, I wanted to get the Folliage - Pro because the Tiger Bloom has high P and the Folliage Pro has low P so I can use them together without getting nute burns. Paulinos carries the Grow & Bloom, but not the Folliage. I've been looking everywhere but can't find it. Would you have any advice on finding it?

Blackstrap molasses has way more than just sulphur and potassium. It won't be on the label, but they are there.
