Looking for a new good organic nutrient line to use. I currently use dry amendments like kelp meal, bone meal, alfalfa, bat guano, azomite etc. Was interested in looking at some liquid nutrient lines, like any part a and b lines or organic liquid base nutrients. Any suggestions on what they believe is the best nutrient line to use and whether they believe dry amendments or liquid nutrients are better. Looking to grow some strong fast growing plants with award winning buds at the end of it all (aren't we all) lol

I just feel like I have a lot slower growth in the beginning with dry amendments. Like, I see some plants at day 30 grown with liquid nutes bigger than my plants at day 50. But once they do get going I feel like they are very healthy and I end up with a very good bloom. First grow I ended up with 3 different plants 3 different strains hit 21 plus thc levels but I just feel like I could be getting a way faster veg somehow

Grow in a sip. It'll grow your plants quick, fast, and in a hurry.

I don't know if thats me overwatering, or over fertilizing or transplanting wrong. I just wish I had more space to really try out a bunch of different ways to really pin point the things I am doing wrong during veg. Like right now, my plants don't look unhealthy, but they also are pretty small for 50 days in. And they are only drinking like a quarter gallon of water every 3 to 4 days. Its just one of those things that you want to know the answers right away, but only time and experience can really tell I guess

Like I said, grow in a sip. It keeps the soil at the perfect moisture level. The plants love it. So do the microbes.

dry better liquid you’re basically paying for 98% water.
mix those ammendments in with your soil and let it cook properly compost your soil let the microbes colonize the medium and start breaking down the organic material atleast a month before you plant and add a lot of aeration material and go with clones or use a lighter mix with seedlings
but if you still want to use something liquid brew a nettle ferment and add some aloe vera powder or gel and hit them with it

Id use Peruvian Seabird Guanos. Both Veg, and Flowering formulas. The Veg breaks down super fast, and is readily available.
Id also use Bioactivator. Id keep on using the Kelp, and Azomite.

What medium are you using?

I did notice that I had some pistil burn when I've used the 0-11-0 Seabird Guano. Now I premix it and let it cook for a few days before I add it. Never noticed any burn with the bat stuff though.

Had good luck making a COF (complete organic fertilizer) as mentioned by Steve Solomon in the books "The intelligent Gardener" and "Gardening when it counts - Growing food in hard times").

I bought the stuff in bulk and mixed it all up. Used as a top dress.

Also had good luck with Roots Organics Dry Blend (Uprising Bloom), along with some gypsum top dressed.

I'm giving the Roots Organics Buddah Grow and Bloom a run along with the coots mix. I plan to only use the roots organic maybe 2-3 feeds total, then just use water with yucca for the remainder.

Whatever you decide to try, be sure to look up the heavy metal content of organic fertilizers you are interested in. https://apps1.cdfa.ca.gov/fertilizerproducts/

For example, Gaia Green 4-4-4 is a very popular dry organic fertilizer, I suggest looking it up and comparing the arsenic/cadmium/lead content to other 4-4-4 organic fertilizers. Honestly, I'm surprised that any organic fertilizer can get away with having that much lead in this day and age. The Down to Earch 4-4-4 is a much cleaner option. This is just an example to illustrate that not all organics are equally "clean" and it is absolutely worth searching for products that are.
