Mainly looking for ease of use. I have super phosphate (0-9-0-11), Potash (0-0-41-17) and microbe booster (4-1-1) here, would I be better off just messing around with these?

I would take one of the complete fertilizers (or the micro bottle from a complete fertilizer) and tweak it with the phosphate/potash/microbe booster to get the ratio you're looking for. But I grow in Coco so that's how I get my micros. Soil might not care as much.

You stoner. There's no mixture of those three fertilizers that will yield greater than 12% nitrogen. P and K are also greater than the strongest concentration.

8.09/4.82/5.09 assuming all fertilizers have the same density.

Haha. Ya, technically you're right. But I was doing stoner math, lol.

JK man. I was high, lol. Thanks man. I did it a different way, but forgot to devide everything by 1.8333 at the end. There's more than one way to get the answer. And I was doing a bunch of it in my stoner head.

Hi guys. I've been looking at local shops and nurseries for some decent all round organic like Gaia Green or Goguano, but after looking at a thousand organic fertilizers here, everything is devoid of P and K. Hundreds of 7-1-4, 3-1-2, 4-1-1and similar, but nothing with substantial P or K unless I go osmocote prills or salts. Our native plants are sensitive to P, so they limit it in most fertilizers. Its actually a selling point in most organics here "less than 1% phosphate for use on natives". Best I have found is 12-8-8 from Dr greenthumbs.

Hey mate,
You should check out organic gardening solutions, they’re in Queensland and probably have some of the best amendments and other bits I’ve found, not everything but definitely worth a look.
They do a soft rock phosphate that might interest you.

I'll definately check it out. I've got two phosphates here, but they are in large chunks. That looks better to distribute evenly. I like to support local companies, I'll definately check out their line.
