blue planet nutrients mmakes bottled nutes that are organic and are made of similar things to fish emulsion. Also theyre relatively cheap and work really well. Ive done a few runs with them and the only thing i add is Snow Storm Ultra.

Farmer's Pride all the way. Thats the organic line from Blue Planet Nutrients. Very affordable (hell you can buy a gallon of BPN for what some AN quarts cost) and they ship fast and answer customer questions. I'm sold on those guys. Its a very simple to follow 3-part system. Just do what the feeding chart says and you're good to grow.

agreed!!! i ran the farmers pride for about 2 years and was never disappointed. They give you all of those additives but you really only use them once or twice a month and last FOREVER. I still use the soil activator at the beginning of veg and the beginning of flowering just to help any left over nutes in the soil come out. Still have my bottle of humic/fulvic. Use about once a month. Then last additive is K-bud and thats just a 7% K bottle. Just finished that off about a month ago.
and on top of all that they give you a nice jar of inoculant (inoculum???) for your soil. Which i still have.
Ive just recently switched over to there synthetic line to see the difference.
So far the only thing i see is that the synth tends to show signs of def/tox a little faster (probably since i use promix). Which isnt a bad thing. Im just used to being able to slightly over do it with the organic. It might have something to do with which forms of n-p-k are in the organic vs the synth and how long the different forms of each take to be broken down/ accepted by the bacteria/roots in the root zone. chelated/non-chelated
Definitely a good buy. i got my farmers pride 7 pack for 80 after shipping. With most nute companies you cant even get a gallon of veg and a gallon of bloom for that. The additives alone, from another company, would run almost 80 bucks.
Good products, good customer service, and good results for an ever better price.
I dont know how more people arent running BPN

Oh, you're using the older Farmer's Pride line. I guess about a year ago or so they changed it so now its down to 3 parts in gallons for like 55 bucks or something. Its way easier to use and the reviews on it are pretty good. Supposedly its even better than before and not nearly as stinky. I'm using the 3-part Elite series like you and the only additive I use is the Liquid Blue bloom booster during flowering. All my friends who grow use BPN and we all have killer harvests. You ever tried their high yield set up? I think I might buy that on my next go around. My buddy used the VitaBlue B vitamins on his plants and within few days was all all excited "It's like they're growing in front of my eyes, maaaan." hahaa. I have no idea why BPN isn't more popular. Come to think of it, I've never seen any advertisements for it and its not in any stores I've been to. Maybe that's why they can sell it for so cheap, they keep costs down by relying on word of mouth. I dont think they're in it for the money. I emailed them once and they talked me out of buying calmag. what kind of business tries to NOT sell you something? They said I wont need it with the 3 part. I thought that was pretty cool of them. Most places want you to buy everything they sell.

Fish emulsion has a good amount of nitrogen so you might not want to use it the whole flowering cycle. I like to use cold processed hydrolyzed fish instead of emulsions. I use Neptunes Harvest, here is a little info they have on there website.
| Neptune's Harvest | Emulsions | |
| - Uses several species of fish | - 1 type of fish (trash fish) | |
| - No offensive odor | - Stinks | |
| - Cold processed | - Cooked | |
| - No oils removed | - Oils removed | |
| - No meal removed (except Fillet) | - Meal removed | |
| - No chlorine | - Contains chlorine | |
| - Won't clog equipment | - Clogs equipment |

The 7 pk I had was the old version of the organic high yield pack. 3 gallons of the gmb and 3 quarts and the inoculant. When I got the 3 part synth I got calmag and liquid blue. The high yield things aren't bad but I'd replace one of them with cal mag. I'm always usin that shit up.

I've never needed to use calmag with bpn. When I was on Fox Farms I had to all the time. I use a lot of Micro nutrients and I think that's the one with all the calcium, so maybe thats why I dont need to add extra.
