I’m growing in coco coir/bu blend/ewc
Amendments: rose and flower mix, azomite,oyster shells

I’m interested to learn new ways of feeding my plant. Here’s my schedule I just started implementing.
Day 1 - plain water

Day 2 - seed sprout tea - corn or mung bean....I’m gonna start implementing alfalfa first 2 weeks to help reduce the stretch.

Day 3- molasses 1 tbsp per gallon

Day 4- plain water

Day 5- compost tea. I use Malibu bu blend and/or ewc, some molasses, and fish hydrolysate brew for 36-48 hours. This one right here is tricky for me. Cuz In the beginning of flowering I mix rose and flower dry amendments by down to earth for PK microbes. 4 cups of compost and 1 cup of rose and flower to 10 gallons of water. Can I use these amendments every week in my tea during flowering?

(What’s your tea recipe for
Flowering?) I’m trying to give it a compost tea every week

Day 6 - plain water

Day 7- hydrated kelp tea

Repeat to week 5 of flowering.


I want to implement coconut water some where in there. Aloe Vera water I don’t how much of these two I can use? I want to use silica. Can I mix all this with my hydrated kelp day?

Anyways post your feeding schedule for us noobies to feed off of

I really dont know fuck all about your style of growing but i would assume doing all of them every day would be the best.... give the plants what they crave all the time, not just once a week. Like when you use the General Hydroponics lineup..... you use the same thing every day for the most part. But i could be totally wrong here. I do organic soil that i top dress with dry amendment and i also use the GH trio plus a little calmg and their silica- all at a very low strength; about 1/3 of what they recommend.

Why the GH with your organic soil?

Honestly man. I dont know. It works good so far. I got a gallon of each real cheap a while back and it was collecting dust. This round my plants were looking a little hungry even with top dressing. Watering once a week its hard to make quick nutrient changes. Yeah I could top dress more but it can take some time to see the benefits from that. Adding the GH really brought them close to perfection and it did it really fast. Once i get through stretch I will likely dial back the GH even farther. Maybe down to 10%. It just seems like its healthier for them than just plain old water. Ive had a couple conversations with guys who have had similar issues with their organic soil depleting to quickly and everyone sort of agrees the bottled shit can be a great supplement.

oh man im way off on this thread. I read "coco" and blacked out for the rest. Ok, you n me are on the same page for sure.

The big 3 are in 20 gallon pots. small one is in a 15. Its 1/3 perlite, 1/3 roots organic, and 1/3 super-ish soil. These are fresh pics i flipped to flower a week ago. only watering once a week, 4 gallons per. I know im going to be watering more soon.

I know the chemicals are way faster acting, but the salts could also build up in the soil. I use Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed if they need a little extra. I still haven't been able to keep up with top dressing yet. It's definitely a learning process with organics.

Wow. Is it really dry there? You're probably using fabric pots too correct?

How long between watering in veg?

Veg maybe like 3-4 days. Hell sometimes even longer if the pot is still heavy. If the top of the soil
Get drys I give it a quick wet. Just to wake up the microbiology on the surface. Young one don’t have the root system to drink that much water. I start to water more frequently when I see the need for it

Wasnt super happy with the way they were looking when they were this size. Light green. Not vegging as fast as i would like.
IMG_6939.JPG

So i started giving them some of the GH bottled shit and they immediately started looking better

I was very happy with their health when I flipped to flower.

And they are still looking really good a week into it.

Sorry i dont mean to jack your thread. We have very similar style definitely looking to have an open conversation here. I am curious about more organic solutions.
