specifically in a hydro-organic system such as ebb & flow. If you have no experience using it in that specific system, what system did you use and what you liked or dislike about it...all of this with a please and thank you of course.

Couple of specifics in particular...

How is the smell?
If ran in a hydro-organic system, did it clog easily?
How stable is the ph?
Will I have to flush since it's all organic?
If you have tried it and decided to not use again, what did you switch to and how does it measure up to EJ?

I use Floranova 2 part right now and I have excellent results without a whole lot of complaints, but I want to go all organic.

Again, thanks for your input! :joint:

Forgot to add that if you never used EJ, but use another 100% organic nutrient that you swear by let me know.

but i am using soil. im also adding fox farm open sesame, beastie bloomz and cha-ching during flowering. my plants really like it, but dont "ph" it, they dont like that. it will self correct with its own biologicals. started out right out feeding when i first potted my clones 1/4 strenghth, 2nd week half strength, by 4th week full strength. this is my first grow and my nuggs are sweet smelling and sugary with a week or 2 to go. theres good recipes at 3lbs.com. thats what i used.

DND.... Earth Juice is a good fert, but it can be a little chuncky. It works excellent in soil or a DWC hydro grow. But can clog drippers, nozzles or pump inlet filters.
.
Bontanicare Pure Blend Pro (wormsway.com) or BMO (Ebay.com) Grow it Green / Flower Power ferts are all Organic and don't have clogging issues.
.
I have used all three of these at different times (in soil only). I've had friends use them in hydro, and only the EJ, caused cloggin issues. They are all excellant products, that will help Mary reach her maximum potential.
.
Hope this helps....
Keep it Real...Organic.....

What do you recmmend I add to my 0-3-1 ej bloom for higher P and K? And secondly, am I supposed to use molasses all the way hrough flowering? I flushed 2 plants for a month and used molasses until the finish. Now I notice that my bud crackles but yet is very smooth and light. Shitty high. Kind of cerebral yet barely noticeable.:roll:

Anhedonia... Buds are not suppose to crackel. I'd say you are smoking spider mites or chemicals (from over fertilized bud).
.
Molasses is a good amendment, but does not take away from the high of any weed or make it crackel. If your weed is giving you a shitty high, that's gentics or weed that was cut way too early &/or improperly dried.
.
I would not smoke bud, that crackel's....big red flag......

I know for sure that its not spider mites. I gave the plants a 4 week flush so I dont see how it could be fertilizer either. The buds were barely dry when I smoked so maby that could be it??
I used the recommended dose of bushmaster on these plants and it pretty much distroyed them. And the potency was reduced to nothing. Ever see a plant that has no resin on it? Ive got 2 of them. Yet here is one of my plants that iswet with resin and it came out of the same seed pack.
Also what can I add to my ej regimin for extra P and K?

EJ makes a nute called Meta K that will add straight K to your grow, a little goes a long way on that bottle. For added P if you really need it, I would suggest going out and getting some high P bat guano probably Indonesian.

add fox farms open sesame, beastie bloomz, & cha-ching to your EJ during flowering, actually youll start using the open sesame a week before you switch to 12/12. Although they are "Organic Based" and not pure organic, the benefits are too great to ignore. Youll see Imediate results.

the ff granulars are not organic based. Ive used them through 4 grows and never noticed anything that great. I also used bushmaster, purplemaxx and gravity and they all suck. My advice is to use all organic nutrients and a good flush.

Thanks for the information, I'll have to check the alternatives out. I defiantly do not want any clogging issues, I'm trying to K.I.S.S.
