Perfect Nutrient Combinations!?

Hello all you green-thumb super propagators :weed: I pose this question, mainly to all you fellas who have lots of experience / and with a variety of organic nutrients. I'm an intermediate grower... done several successful harvests, however I need a bit of clarification. Sometimes during some stage of the grow, Ill get some tell tale signs of ca-mg deficiency ( rust spots on the leaves ), but I thought I countered that by adding hydrated garden lime to my soil mix this time? Im hoping to fix it... by adding like 7 crushed up egg-shells on top of the soil.

My plants remain healthy and green ( if anything, my plants now are showing signs of over-feeding ), so I was wondering what weeks is the perfect time to use certain nutes, for max buddage :hug:.

My garden box contains the following:

- Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur
Part A ( 4.9 - 0 - 3.6 ), Part B ( 1.8 - 5.1 - 1.0 ) Total = ( 6.7 - 5.1 - 4.6 )

- Age Old Bloom ( 5 - 10 - 5 )
- Age Old Grow ( 12 - 6 - 6 )

- Sea Kelp Extract ( Unknown NPK -- Trace Minerals & Auxin's )

- Fish Emulsion ( 2 - 4 - 0.5 )
- Plant Starter ( 3 - 10 - 3 )
- High P Guano ( 0.5 - 12 - 0.2 )
- High N Guano ( 10 - 2 - 1 )

- And the Miscellaneous ; Mycorrize Bacteria Pellets, Epsom Salt, Vitamin B11, Super Thrive, Garden Lime, Worm Castings.

Pretty good starting out collection, I think I'm missing Humic/Fumic acid's which Ill get for this summer.. or are those not needed?

Now; heres my main question, why I wrote this topic.... when Im feeding in flowering .. do I want to mix up ALL the flowering nutrients? For example, Age Old Bloom + Sea Kelp Extract + Fish Emulsion + Conossiour? Im looking for reccomendations from experienced gardners on what weeks to use what... ie.. only use Sea Kelp on weeks 1, 3, 5 because the auxins will do un-wanted things during flowering.. etc

Im looking for formulate the perfect feeding schedule using everything I have for perfect plants and buddage.. even though it's unnessary to use it all -- especially when i have those micro beaties sucking up everything they can :]

With my current schedule, I feed every other week with Fish Emulstion, 1-4 Drops of Super Thrive, High P Guano, and kelp extract. Should I add Vitamin B11 to boost up roots any weeks, etc...
On the weeks I dont feed, I just use molasses in water; Should I use anything else in there?

Sorry for the long post, but Im sure we all want the best for mary so Im just wondering what the perfect combo is!!

you guys rock :leaf::peace:

Only my opinion, but I think that you might have went a little overboard on your mixes.

You probably have so much good stuff, that it has overloaded the plants and has given them more than they need.

Simplicity is a must for the best smoke " in my belief and experiance. "

I am no expert and would not claim it, but I do however produce some incredible and smooth smoke, by using basic simplicity and love.

Here are some pictures of the grow that I am doing now at different stages of growth.

The only discoloration that I get, is on some of the bottom leaves after I throw bannana peels in the totes as the peels release gases that will turn the leaves.

My soil is a little more simple as I use; " good organic soil mixed with worm castings 20% and Bat Guano 5 to 10% and fill them with worms and feed the worms vegetable and fruit peelings. "

The only thing that I use outside of that is; " molasses, Raw Organic Honey, well dilluted urine a couple of times between week three and five of Veg and Perrier for spraying them with extra Co2 as they love it! "

My girls stay perfect from start to finish and create medicine that will make the longest lived toker, " smile largely, LOL. "

I am a little different as I refuse to put anything in a bottle on my girls and it does not matter how much others will promote it.

Find your own way my brother and give the number one ingrediant, wich is.....LOVE.

However, I do believe that your mix is a bit too strong.

Be Blessed, Reverand TheNatural

First things first... STOP BUYING UNNEEDED STUFF! My buddy once said when I told him about some dude I know buying all this smoke gear; "I love newbie tokers; They ALWAYS buy stupid shit." haha, the same is true with any other 'hobby'. When I first started growing weed 10 years ago I would buy into all the consumer bullshit and buy everything that they claimed would be great. I ended up broke! So just stop consuming, first and foremost!

Like TheNatural has said, I think that you are using alot of unneeded stuff, which is making your soil too hot for your plants. Keep it simple and your plants will return the favor. I would suggest keeping the Sea Kelp, Bat guanos, mycorzzia fungi & fish emulsion and make a nice tea out of them to feed to your girls. Use the high N at veg, high P at flower. Use the mycorzzia at around the 3rd week of veg and into the first few weeks of flower. Feed once a week with this tea and water with plain unchorlinated water whenever needed after. Your results should speak for themselves!

I completely agree with you guys. With my outdoor grows last summer; I noticed the less I watered and fed it; the better it did! ( of course with occasional feedings it did extremely well )

Well.... at least I have enough stuff to grow a farm of marijuana!!! I also have blue moutain organic products now, haha :/

BMO products are quick and simple and great for first time growers with no organic experiance. I recommend them highly, and last grow I used all of their line, along with Alaska MorBloom during flower & molasses, and the results were great. Nice and smooth, just the way cannabis should burn!
