Where were you supporters of guano and compost teas when I needed you last night on this forum? I could have used your help in letting these 2 uninformed trolls know whats it's all about, unfortunately theyre egos got in the way and their brain stopped taking in what I was telling them, Ive been doing organic for years, glad to see others here are doing what Iv'e know for a long time. I think I was just misunderstood, they jump into a thread without reading what was going on. Thanks guys.

You can never win with those folks - but to each his own I guess. You just gotta do what feels right to you, and then pay attention to how your plants respond. They'll tell you what they like.
I'm loving this switch to organics (a big thanks to Corbat420 for all his great advice and taking the time to help me out). My plants already look so much healthier, and it just feels better to be growing in natural living soil rather than inert mediums and chemical nutrients. Just seems right to me.
I used to hate measuring and mixing out my nutrients, and always being paranoid of burning the plants with a dose that was too high. Not to mention this worrisome feeling I had at harvest time when I was doing everything I could to flush out all the chems so I wouldn't be smoking a bunch of synthetic crud.
Now that I've started implementing the tea as well, its only gotten better.
Poplars, good info on the constant bubbling to keep the mix aerobic. I've been keeping my airstone going 24/7 since I started, and the tea has so far kept fresh and healthy with no signs of it going anerobic on me.

yep and theoretically you could add more bacteria rich things as you go and get more of a diverse micro colony in there... organics is seriously amazingly fun. all the stuff you can get involved in + outdoor growing in general will keep you busy all year round...

yea, this is true. the Majority of big time ourdoor growers are full organic growers.... check these guys out, they use organics 90% of the time and only realy use other stuff for flowering.....

yeah I wish I could show my grow buddy's plants, organics is definitely the way to go for the high yeilders... it's odd but they don't need as much feed as you would think...
Hi guys,
Just a question regarding organics.
I started my second ever grow from seed just over a month ago. I started in 1l pots and let the seedlings roots fill the pot before transplanted straight into 7gallon / 30l fabric pots in canna terra pro which im aware is already charged and will take you through the first 5 weeks of growth without having to feed. however, i also decided to premix dry amendments to each pot as id read that organic dry amendments can take up to 4 weeks to actually be usable for the plant. So i figured by adding it before transplanting, by the time the 4 / 5 week came, the canna terra pro nutrients would have been used and now the amendments i added will start to be used by the plant. for the first week or so i watered very carefully, knowing that the new seedlings root zone wouldnt be developed enough to use up all the water in a 7gallon fabric pot, so watered bit by bit until the plants got bigger and more established.
Its been about 3 weeks since then and the plants are getting bigger and I've now started watering right through, watering approximately 2 gallons water through each fabric pot ( 7gallons ) and that seems to be perfect, leaving me with about 10 % run off which the plants drink up within 30mins / 1 hour after watering anyway. When watering i firstly neutralise the tap water by using an organic pure vitamin c product called ecothrive neutralise, which instantly removed chlorine and chloramine from tap water. i fill up a 5 gallon bucket and mix 1 tbsp molasses, 1/2 tbsp epsom salts and i ph with bio bizz organic ph down to a ph of 6.5.
Ive noticed what i believe to be nutrient burn on the tips of some of my leaves on the new growth and was wondering if any of you organic experts could give me some advice please. Do you think it could be any of the amendments i added that are having a bad effect on my plants and if so will my plant grow out of it ? Im still in veg but want to flip to flower after 1 more week.
The dry amendments used and mixed into the canna terra pro 7 gallon pots were as follows......
60ml bat guano ( guanokalong ) 1.10.1
60ml seaweed powder ( guanokalong ) 1.0.1
60ml ecothrive charge ( insect frass ) 3.2.3
Lavaworm volcanic rock ( guanokalong ) no npk.
light used is a lumatek zeus pro 600w led.
ive got it hanging at 50cm from canopy at 50% power. I keep the temps at roughly 25 / 26•c and rh at approx 65 / 70% rh in veg. Although you’ll notice my temps dropped to 21.5•c in the pic as im based in uk and had a really cold day today.
ive attached pictures and any feedback would be very much appreciated thanks guys

I'm not seeing any major burn , could be amendments, where did you get the recipe ?
I used canna terra pro which is already loaded and takes you through the first 5 weeks of growth.
The amendments used were from holland and uk.
i will send a link of the products i used.
