I gretting ready to start a grow (noob) and don't want to use Chemicals. I have local access to this organic based liquid fish fertilizer concentrate with seaweed extract 2-4-2 http://www.veseys.com/ca/en/store/organicseed/organicproducts/gardenersdream1.

Is this going to be enought nutrients for both Veg and Flowering? I was also looking at the Banana Tea fro flowering

probably not. I'd look into an organic soil mixture like super soil or some dry organic fertilizer like happy frog or something.

If you have a good strong soil, I don't see why that wouldn't handle most of what you need. Less can often times be more, as the lack of nutrients will cause the plant to excrete compounds that cause your microherd to solubilize the nutrients it needs more. Plants are pretty amazing, I'd recommend feeding less at first as it's much easier to f' up your first time around by dumping a lot of things in it.

I agree with 1337, but I'll add that in my opinion a "good strong soil" is soil that has lots of organic matter in it.

Yep it is all about the soil. It is expensive for good stuff but you can reamend and reuse it.

the key is to look for hydrolyzed fish like neptunes harvest, same price range.

Gathering soil mix ingredients having difficulties finding some stuff but still looking.
I picked up a bag of Composted Sheep Manure for tea, can I add this to the soil or is it too harsh ?

this is where I'm at, a few more ingredients to get:
All-purpose Soil (fer free) 1.5 cu ft (horticultural grade sphagnum peat moss, vermiculite, peat sedge
and compost)
Organic Soil 0.12-0.09-0.06 …1cu ft
Blood & Bone Meal 7.7.0
Dolomite lime
Epsom Salts (mag sulfate)
Perlite

soil only carries you so far, you need aact to break down whats in the soil, and fert teas to replenish.
