... Additives, amendments, boosters and such? Love the idea of going organic but not the cost of buying a whole new line of nutes ...
Hey Rob, Iguana Juice definitely gets a strong endorsement from me. As snooch just mentioned, the BioBizz stuff (Fish and Bloom, at least) are very thick and gunky, messy... And the Fish mix is TERRIBLE if you get it on your skin. The Iguana Juice does the trick just as good, maybe better, than BioBizz. And it's "cleaner". Like I said, looks like a weak tea. The Grow has a fishy smell, but it's not overwhelming.
That's not saying that I won't keep a steady supply of FishMix on hand, though. It's great for foliars.
MY soil is a mix of 2/3 Compo Sana Quality Potting Soil and 1/3 Worm Castings, with these additives...
Horn-, Blood-, and Bone meal
Kelp Powder
Alfalfa
Chicken Guano
Epsom Salts
Powdered Eggshells.
Their main food sources were the FishMix, BioBloom, and Iguana Juices. I gave them a few teas in between that consisted of different combinations of Molasses, Chicken Guano, Seabird Guano, Kelp, Alfalfa, and Epsom Salts. I've also worked these things and Powdered Eggshells into the soil before feeding/watering a few times.
Up until the flowers started turning into nuggets, I gave them foliars of Kelp or FishMix, with a Distilled Water shower about a half day later to clean up residue.
Getting all that stuff together is an investment, of course, but as far as I can see, one well worth it. I'm sticking to this method because it works out fine for me and I don't want to F* up a good thing. The thing I'm thinking about is, instead of mixing one third worm castings into my Compo Sana, is to get some Guano Kalong like Red is using, and mix it 50:50 with the Compo Sana. I think that might be a winner.

Snooch, if you don't feel like chopping and trimming that La Diva, when her time comes, I'd LOVE to do it for you! :drool: LOL If only it was that simple... :smoke:
