Hey guys, I am not new to growing, however this is my first true run at organics and I dont wanna eff things up. I have been vegging some La Confidential, LSD, White Widow, and Sour bubble and am about to transplant them into their final pots. This is where my questions comes...
:?:
Whats the best way to finish these girls out through flower, organically and get a good yield with some killer nug?
I was considering trying only Subcool's Supersoil, but I wanted to put these girls into flower asap and I don't have 30 days to let the soil bake. Otherwise, I was planning on finishing it with Ocean Forest and Perlite, and feeding with A&N Mother Earth Tea and Agricultural Organics Final Bloom and Ooze Bloom or maybe bloombastic? Besides that, I have a blend of micros and beneficials I also water with. What to do?
Throw it all down and get lifted! bongsmilie but seriously, I would really appreciate some advice...

I have used Ocean Forest before on a transplant to final and it worked out fabulously no problems whatsoever. I used Botanicare pro grow/bloom and Bloom soil as nutrients so I cant comment on your selection of nutrients but I had no issues with the Ocean Forest and transplanting.
Good luck

There is no switch. It has been 100% organic since I took the clones. I havent added one nutrient and its in happy frog soil at the moment. Fabulous results sounds great tho. Thanks!

fox farm ocean forest is the best of the best, you should look into foxfarm bigbloom, 100% organic and verry effective

I hear the same and am also in the NW. I use a local potting soil myself. Same price, but my imaginary friend told me this stuff is better. I also use the Botanicare line and have had great growth even to plants that I had to heavily poison to successfully end a mite infestation. They have gone thru heavy stress and although the growth is a little wonky it is full and bushy and healthy. I also add their Liquid Karma. I have used it on every feeding and had no nute burn either. You can mix your own and there are lots of recipe's, you just want to make sure your pH is still good after a feeding. I find that the water, nute mix and soil all contribute. You can see pics of my grows and room build in my albums. The Grand Daddy Purple clones I later got and transplanted last week have grown almost an inch a day!

You can make your own organic soil mixture pretty easily and inexpensively, if that is what you are trying to do. I use BioBizz Light Mix (basically just peat moss and sphagnum peat) mixed with FoxFarm Light Warrior, a healthy amount of worm castings, high-N Mexican bat guano and mycorrhizae. I have recently moved away from using Ocean Forest, as they started using different (and inferior) ingredients at their new South Carolina plant. I like making my own soil mix anyway...

I don't see any problem with using the liquid fertilizers you mentioned in your first post. I supplement with BMO liquid organic fertilizers and have fantastic results.

Or, make your own organic tea using castings and guano...get an old pillowcase and put some guano/castings/manure/compost/whatever into it. Tie the pillowcase so it doesn't spill into the water and put it in a 5-gallon bucket with an airstone (airstone optional, but improves the speed and effectiveness of the brew) and let sit overnight. Now you've made your own organic tea.

Hey guys, I was real busy with finals this last week and didnt have any time to respond to posts, so here were go...

All the ideas posted sound great, and I really appreciate the advice. Im gonna need a pen and paper to write all this shit down (or just copy and paste... i'm high :eyesmoke: ) I think my next indoor soil mix will be a little less generic, which shouldnt be too hard, considering I only used FF Happy Frog this time. I did not add enough perlite, and aeration is really starting to be a pain in my ass. I plan on transplanting into 3 gallon pots this week. Im hoping more perlite and the transplant will fix my problems. My indoor soil pH is resting between 6 and 7, and rarely seems to wander outside that range. (yea, I know it's a 10X scale) I was worried that all my micros and beneficials were really gonna drop the pH, but it has not been too bad.
I will be posting pictures of my organic indoors ASAP. Im keeping my fingers crossed that these babies will bounce back from the stress and have some good pics to share with the RIU community this week. Bout to put one in the air for my momma! :joint: Happy Mothers day and good times blazing! bongsmilie

Newb1egrower,
yo yo wut it duu. Ive been real tempted to purchase some of the Botanicare lineup. Looks great and not that bad of a price. And in regards to granddaddy purp... Me and my buddy grew some GDP in both soil and dro. Both turned out awesome. We decided to let it go 10 weeks cuz it just kept swelling day by day... Needless to say, the colors and smell were out of this world. Soaring high that ended with a knockout stone. Awesome yield too. Only problem was that the strain wanted to hermi on us after about the 7th week, unless we used heavy applications of reverse :wall:
I keep a clone in case I decide to breed it, otherwise I would feel like I was throwing away something special. Wish It was as easy as running up to the dispensary and grabbing a clone of some real heady genetics, but unfortunately that just isnt possible where I am located. Good luck! cant wait to see some pics of the nug!

Oh, and I have been vegging the mothers of my indoors (Chemdawg X Sour Diesel, DNA Genetics Chocolope, DNA Genetics LA Confidential, Dinafem WhiteWidow, and Plan B SourBubble BX3) All of the strains are legit, EXCEPT the Plan B Sourbubble BX3. I DO NOT advise purchasing beans from BC Bud Depot. A friend of mine had the true BOG BX3 seeds a few years ago and it was absolutely exceptional in every aspect. However, This BX3 is an absolute BUST! I paid 160$ and after 2 months of wishing, waiting, and hoping they would come in the mail, I was extreeeeeemely disappointed to say the least. BC Bud Depot are a bunch of shysters not to be dealt with.
Anyway, going back to the point of this thread; I am transplanting my mothers outdoors this week now that the weather here has finally settled down a little. I dug a handful of 2 feet deep 3x3 trenches over a month ago, and mixed the bottom soil with FF Outrageously Organic Happy Frog soil conditioner, then mixed the top soil with FF Happy Frog potting soil.
The mothers are nice and strong, and I cannot wait to get them outside. This is my 2nd outdoor grow, but my first true guerrilla grow. I'll be posting pics of these ladies this week too. I will only be feeding them with A&N Mother Earth Grow and Bloom tea and molasses. It should be pretty interesting to see how these girlies grow in this environment.(somewhere around the northeast and midwest ;-) ) Its really humid here, and the sky always seems to be overcast. The conditions are nowhere near the ideal NorCal environment, but from all my experience, weeds are resilient and mother nature shows tough love. Wish me luck! :weed:
