Organic fertilizer pucks????

Hello all. A few years back, I came across a company that I believe was out of the UK and I can not remember their name to same my life. They had these pucks that you buried under the plant during transplants. You'd use one for small pants and three for large plants and autoflowers. They had a couple additives that they sold as well that came in the kit that had enough to do like 4 plants. I remember that it came in a tan or brown box and was nicely packaged for a smaller companies offerings. I though it was bio something and I have actually used them, but it was four years ago so I can not remember who the heck they were to save my life. They were gifted to me by someone who was switching back to AN and they did excellent as a semi-water only feed for autoflowers and were far more convenient than building soil or making living soil or composts so, not to be an asshole, but need a giant lecture on how this soil or this style or all that is so much better. I've been growing for two decades, although I love learning, I know the intricacies of many organic styles of growing. If I was outdoors and not on a time crunch before I lose my season it'd be different. Like I said, I just need help remembering who the heck made those things because I have a massive stock of S1 Mephisto Sour Sromper that I want to run through for genetic purposes and just need them to do a cycle, I want minimum feed input so I can see the baseline expression to see how uniform everything came out after the reversal or if they need more work. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, any help would be greatly appreciated. I thank you very much for your time and have a wonderful day.
 
Already found them after typing all that. They're call BioTabs and the packaging has changed but it's the same product. SMDH They're out of the Netherlands and make a good product.
Anyone interested can check them out at www.biotabs.nl.
Sorry to have wasted anyone's time reading that last one.
 
Sounds a lot like the Jobe's fertilizer spikes we have in the US. It's basically all the dry ingredients that you'd find in an all-purpose blend (not sure what is available in the UK, I'm thinking like Gaia Green or Dr Earth in the US), but pressed into a puck for easy application/dosing

I dunno how much it matters having the fertilizer concentrated in one spot vs distributed through the container, I think the roots will find it either way
 
They're similar, just a bit more plant oriented, if you will than Jobe's. Like I said, I've found them and ordered 4 buckets of 400. To make it worth the shipping cost, I've also ordered enough Mycotrex and Startrex, (which all get mixed into the soil) and I got their Orgatrex and Bio PK 5-8 for after the budset rolls on that I'll just add to the compost tea that I make. It's kind of like the KNF ideology with fish, fruit, soy protein, humic and fulvic acid, beneficial bacteria, Molasses, and Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed 3-2-1. I have a 100 gallon agitator tank with removable 3-stage strainers (for fish bones, stalks, seeds, etc which will go to the compost pile). They create a syrupy concentrate that goes into a single 60 gallon induction tank from the agitator. At the bottom of the tank,I fitted the outlet with a ball valve (to control concentration of mix) and a water line that feed into a jet pump so what I spray comes out at a 16:1 water/concentrate mixture that I'll bring up to 8:1 for the last 4 weeks. I always water by hand in the auto room to keep an eye on them when they start putting on weight. Bud Rot is a horrible thing and I learned it the hard way when I started out with organics when I was just giving them water with timed drip irrigation.

Did you DIY that tank setup? Sounds badass
