I think what you are looking for is a PK booster with a balanced level of carbohydrates. I would recommend using seabird guano for your phos. soluble kelp extract for the potassium. decrease the seabird and increase your kelp towards the end. keeping in mind that you can nutrient lock the plant with too much potassium, and burn the plant with too much phos. you can buy fermented papaya and banana molasses. This is a very balance form of carbs for the plant. Towards the end of the cycle I flush with some potassium, the fermented sugars and lots of water (this will give your plant a more pleasurable flavor.) some people i know add things like grape concentrate and apple concentrate as well.
Thanks. I really need to do loads of research. I've been growing for about five years now or so, and have always used bottled nutes. I don't know shit about nutes. I just read the directions on the bottle lol. That sounds so sad, but its true. I also have loads of soil building up in the backyard from many previous grows. I just now am starting to look at ways to recycle, I should've done that years ago..that's what brought me in the organic section here. After reading some of the stuff in this section, I realize how little I know and would love to get hip on it all.

If you want to make the switch to organics I suggest going to the rols / notill thread and reading a good bit of it. You'll never want to touch a bottle or chem again.
