I would mix them into the top layer of soil, lightly water,, then plant. Will help speed up the breakdown process.
So should I put my transplant in right away? I'm just asking, because the roots will be dead now, so the bacterial/fungal relationship will die now too? Should I get new, living roots in right away, or does it not matter much?

I would think the dead cover crop will provide what the bacteria and fungus need, along with other dead plant matter already in the soil. I'd go ahead and plant.

How often and at what strength do you feed? Also how big are the sips? Thanks
2 tsp of 1-4-7 and 2 tsp of 4-0-1 during stretch every 4 days then it’s 2 tsp of 1-4-7 and 1/2 tsp of 4-0-1 every four days during mid flower. Sips are about 6.6 gallon reservoir and 5gal pots

Oh ok so this is liquid part A and B,so about 10ml of ea to 800ml water or per gallon? Id think gallon.

My one girl is running out of food,dry nutes can't keep up and always thought about adding a synthetic boost.My food is similar in NPK Ill try a test mix and see what EC I get.

I’ve given her two doses of fish shit already. Kinda has helped. More of a learning experience just to see the difference
I got a sample of that like 2 years ago. I haven't used it yet though. I wanted to talk to somebody who uses it first. What do you think of it?

Well as you know once you fall behind in organic you can’t catch up. So was just wondering say if no one was looking I’d slip here a little salt lol.
Yea I know the struggle pretty well now. It's the only part about organic, that i don't like.

I'm pretty sure both the build a bloom, and the soy aminos, are readily available, and it could keep you organic, but..... the salts are tempting. Lol

Its really just a boost, shouldn't hurt anything organic.The fish stuff had I done it sooner would have been OK.My own dam fault for letting her get so big.The other smaller plants are doing fine with just the Gaia.

I used it on outdoor flowers,its mild bottle says 10ml\L for outdoor and 5ml/L in pots.I did 13ish ml/L.Have given her two times 1 litre ea about 5 days apart. Stinks a little at first but goes away.

Yea I get it. In the long run, it'll be what's better for the plant and your bud. You don't want any limiting factors in flower. Especially nutrition.

That's another problem with organics, never knowing when the right time is. At least not until you learn the strain with your setup.

Did you notice a difference? For the better? Lol
