it's one of the reasons nutrients from compost are more uptakeable than nutrients from shells or bone matter.

You do realize that different strains have different requirements, yes?
For example, I'm growing Zamaldelica and chinook haze -- and they couldn't be more different when it comes to how they want to be fed.

Outdoors I like to catch a dozen bluegill and put them in the hole with bone meal and banana peels. NPK organic and powerful

Ok so here is what im running my show with (this works for me its not the gospel nor am i a self made pro so please keep trollin this is my opinion) with that said.I make a premix of 2bags of fox farm ocean forest
1 bag of organic soil with worm castings and bat guano .
1/2 small bag perlite.
I mix 2ml of rhizotonic root booster with 1000ml of ph'd 6.5 to 6.8 water and spray it in to the soil mix i use the whole 1002ml of mix
That's good for about 5 5gal smart pots once ive got my mix and its been sprayed i fill up each smart pot with soil while its still wet and let it dry out completely i put mine under lights in my tent i mix the soil up now and then to speed up the process and prevent and look for mold. Once its dry i will drop my clones or the seeds ive germinated once ive hardened them. Drop them in about 2" in and give em a nice ph'd water only till i get runoff. I use 1/4 strength of the Emerald Harvest 3 part series the first 3 feeding is as follows 1.5 ml of micro
1.5 ml grow
.5 bloom (not needed but i throw it in)
2.0ml of cal-mag
.5 ml if kelp fish meal and molasses.
Then next 3 feedings i double it that puts me at 1/2 strength (still .5ml with bloom )
Then im at 3/4 strength never more than that. Its worked awesome for me i give a little more cal-mag when doing clones they seem to need it more ive always got clones with red stems the cal-mag helps also if my RH starts to drop i spray the canopy with a mix of 1ml rhizotonic to 1000ml water they love it while in veg

It works awesome you would not believe the results when I have harvested about the third time I cut open the root ball just to see and let me say huge production of roots nice thick stocks

Poultry manure, epsom salts, minced banana peels, fish parts, wood ash, bone meal. Bone meal does take longer to break down. So reuse the same plot with fresh chicken manure and amendments every year . Water with guano and kelp teas. After 2 or 3 years your ground will be soft and fertile from all the bio activity going on.
