I’m top dressing in flower with the following:

Flower girl by dr.earth -2 tbs per gallon
Azomite trace minerals -1tbs per gallon
Wiggle worm and Malibu bu’s compost- half cup of each

Will water in with quarter strength of mor-bloom..

Also add few drops of coco-wet

Then ph to 6.2 if needed with TND ph down

Any tips or advice?

Can I use the mor bloom once a week?, along with the dry fertilizer which is 2 times a week

Why use two bloom nutes ?

Well the phosphorus in flower girl is a 9
So don’t think I’ll need the mor bloom after all ? Maybe just use it if I see a deficiency and apply then for quick uptake ..

Also I’ve been using a silica foilar spray once a week and I’d like to use molasses , how would you go about incorporating into your dry fertilizer regimen ?

So this what I’d like to feed..
top dress once every 2-3 weeks:
Flower girl - 2 tbs per gallon
Azomite - 1 tbs per gallon
Ewc and Malibu compost - half cup each

Foilar spray silica

Water in with mor-bloom and coco wet and/or once a week

I’d like to incorporate molasses as well
But how often should I use it ?

If the mor bloom isn’t needed maybe I can switch it out for the molasses

Can I mix mor bloom , molasses and coco wet? If not I can do

Feed(mor bloom) /water/ water(molasses) /water(&silicon foilar spray)

Are you sure you add your dry fertilizer two times per week? I'd make sure. Also, @Budzbuddha is right to ask why two bloom nutes? Oftentimes more isn't better. You run the risk of nutrient lockout if you go too hard with another nutrient. Been there from using too much P.
Good luck.

Oh no I use it dry fertilizer (flower girl) once every 2-3 weeks

And I water to run off every 3rd or 4th watering in case of nutrient build up

I’m still new to this but I was thinking of using the mor bloom for a slight boost like how I did in veg with dr.earth homegrown bag 1x2weeks & 5-1-1 fish fert 1/2 strength 1xweek

I do a cycle of feed/water/water/water

Those slow release organic fertilizers don't tend to do too well top dressing with cannabis plants. Organic takes time to break down usually.. Your likely going to see some deficiencies mid/late bloom. Those are meant to be mixed into the potting mix.

If you want to feed organics check out something like Medi-One by green planet.

topdressing works fine bro mix it with some ewc and mulch with coco disc or something to keep the top soil (and the topdress mix) moist always. that way microbes in the ewc will break down the amendments much faster and the organic material will move deeper into the soil when you water

Good advice....I added a Coco disc to my SIP and the added benefit is no gnats lol

That Alaska Mor-Bloom is also pretty acidic...So you'll find yourself diving into the deep end of the pH-Up if you use it. I happened to have some on hand and got a bit of flowering chlorosis and decided to use it to just beef up what the plants already were getting and it dropped my pH from somewhere in the 6's down to about 3.7. If you need a booster there's other 0/10/10's out there and/or base nutrients that might be better.

I like the recipe you have come up with, maybe final top dress five or six weeks into flower, i also like to do a little liquid feed of some kind

yeah top dressing has been working fine for me , I usually mix it with half cup ewc & half cup Malibu compost also water in with 5-1-1 fish emulsion meanwhile it breaks down .. but if u stay on top of top dressing you'll probably have enough nutrients while the next top dressing breaks down just my opinion

I top dress dr earth and occasionally hit with some neptunes harvest hydrolyzed fish and seaweed fertilizer.

yeah this prettifying much what im doing but others are saying ohh this too much this or that but its working so far and im only using the fish Fert quarter strength or half at the most once a week or should I just use it every two weeks instead? I guess if im using it at a weak strength the I can use it more often once a week

Azomite in a container grow is throwing your money away unless you’re throwing out the old dirt into your outdoor vegetable garden.
