Mycorrhizae – endomycorrhizal innoculum
(Glomus intraradices) I don't wanan use more thab bloom veg and one more micro or top and il throw some molasses into this for the root any brand and advice would be welcome

Big believer in running worm bins. I ordered 3 lbs of worms in May 2010 and have never had to buy anymore worms. Shredded newspaper for bedding and vegetable and fruit scraps for worm food. There's a reason why worm castings are nick named "Black Gold".

You can make a worm bin out of any plastic tote with a lid. Lots of youtube videos on how. After the initial cost of buying worms, you will always have a free source of fertilizer. It's something that will always be free after the one-time purchase of worms for years and years down the road. I'm not saying it should be your only primary fertilizer but that it's continuously renewable to infinity. I've used worm castings with SunGro Metro-Mix 300 a few years back, it's a very similar grow medium like Pro-Mix.

The greatest thing about maintaining worm bins is it's a continuously FREE SOURCE of fertilizer for LIFE.

Jack's Classic peat lite works very well for everyone I know that uses it and is pretty cheap.

I use ProMixBX...and I use Jack's Classic Dynamic Duo and Citrus FeED...very inexpensive and works quite well.

Dyna-Gro also works great, and is cheap as well.

Make sure you mix in a generous amount of dolomite lime with the ProMix...I add vermiculite and perlite also.

Good Luck

Worm castings
Compost
Crab meal
Kelp meal
Neem meal
Glacial or basalt rock dust
is all you need.

Worm bins are great. I have one and making 2 more this weekend.

Ace hardware now cares smaller botle of Fox farm like half qt bottle cost about $8 each with needing all 3 so $24 of nutes. Not sure how big a grow you need for. Humboldt Countys Deep Fusion is a nice one too I have made few ruun with the new line. I got a gallon each of grow micro bloom for $30 each delivered on ebay.

Botanicare. Great nutes at a low price. I am into my 4 grow with it and still on the original bottles, granted they are getting low.
