Slow release nutrients??

Such as bone meal.

I plan on using Espoma brand 4-12-0 organic bone meal for my flowering stage.

Apparently this is a slow release nute and the N in it is insoluble in water.

So I mix that shit in my soil and slowly my plant will take it in? After how long?

Any info is much appreciated.

nothin? no one?
Is bone meal some shitty shit? Tryin to stay away from chems...

Organics in your soil?
Take organics,pertile and lime and mix in with sunshine mix or promix. Mix it all up good and plant in that.
Or take batguano 2kg, perlite lots of it 5 kg's, wormcastings 12kg, Oxycal 500g's, Also add rare earth 1 large container. Mix it all with two bales of promix.
Feed with Pureblend Pro bloom

Mix it in the soil before you plant. Takes weeks to breakdown and become available.

Good stuff, but you need to apply it well before flowering.

Meh, I like other organic nutes. SOmething about the slow release things which is just too hard to control, for me. I'm a little bit of a control freak when it comes to my nutes.

Yes, you just mix the bone meal in the soil and wet it down and the nutes will begin to be released. FRom there, I got nothing.

I would just suggest looking for traditional nutes that are organic in nature since that just seems to be easier.

yeah lol bone meal is some weird shit. Like crushed up bones?? hahaha

but I'm only using it because i figured it can't really hurt and it was free as shit.

Dude espoma works, I used their Plant Tone recently & my plants really took off. As an experiment with some plants I mixed some in the soil & some I just put on top & watered & got basically the same results across the board. Plus you can't burn your plants. I'm gonna get the bone meal when I flower, so I think you should use it as recommended.

Yeah i'm using it as recommended man. Other than the fact i went a BIT easy on the suggested amount to use. (Said use a heaping tablespoon per pot so i just did a light tablespoon)

But did you say you CAN'T burn your plants with this shit??? Is that because its organic or what??
