Alaska Fish nutes: complete program?

[Boombollie]

I've used both the fish fertilizer (5-1-1, OMRI) and morbloom (0-10-10) at various periods in my life and love them...any thoughts as to just using those two for veg/flower as a base program? I've been a gardner all my life and while all the fancy stuff at various grow stores looks great and definately works, it seems awful expensive and at times a down right racket.

So yea, I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has used just the Emulsion and Morbloom.

I've read of people using that combination and having good results, and I've used just those two in my outdoor vegetable garden with good results also.

If you're growing indoors, however, they're gonna stink a bit until they break down in the soil.

Soil, right?

 

[Boombollie]

Yes soil, and at this point it's MOSTLY outdoor, but one patient's worth (6) of plants under a 600. Not even sure we'll be fertilizing outside till 'round flower anyways. As far as stank goes....I ain't skeered of no stank; gardening generally stinks.

Keep it simple. No doubt with all the fancy Ferts on the market it can be confusing. I have grown for the last 30+ years with very simple ferts, with great results. One does not need to buy into the fert craze to grow high quality med. weed. Most of these ferts one see's on the market are developed for profit and not much for the grower. So keep it simple, find a fert for veg and flower and you will have great bud. Trust me, me and my folks have test after test with the nutty ferts on the market and nothing works better than simple.....

I think you'd do fine with the two Alaska ferts in soil outdoors.

Neptune's Harvest also makes some good fish and seaweed products.

Thanks Sun, glad to have all yall's input. My soil is just Willamette Valley topsoil/clay mixed with tons and tons of very nicely composted local horseshit. We dug the holes about 2.5-4 foot deep (depending on strain, etc) and about as wide, amended with a handful of bone meal around the immediate root zone area....I figure I'll be fine with just that and some alaska dosing here and again (if I ever get a chance to water...stupid rain).

Oh, and I got worms like dirtfarmer's got worms.

[Boombollie]

High folks. Anybody how much fert per gallon of water should i use? Do i need to check ph of water aand ppm when using organic fert?

 

[BluDreamZ]

i used these... only in a 5 gal recirc drip sys on 24 hrs. only hydroton. yielded 14 oz dry off one plant.
i just followed the directions for fruiting or flowering bushes. and toned it down a lil

Good Day, I also believe that simple organic soil recipes are best along with homemade ferts like fish emulsion and calmag, molasses. I do the fish inside but only a little and spread out, like every 2 or 3 weeks in water. Cheers

Howdy ph for sure 6.8 7.0 in ols

Fish emulsion is a great organic fertilizer for vegetative growth due to its high nitrogen content (5-1-1). It also contains some trace elements, which are beneficial for overall plant health.

Morbloom has a high phosphorus and potassium content (0-10-10), which is ideal for the flowering stage, as these nutrients support bud development.

While these two could provide a basic nutrient program for your plants, you might want to consider adding a calcium and magnesium supplement (like Cal-Mag) to avoid deficiencies. Cannabis plants need a good amount of both during their life cycle, and they are not present in large amounts in either fish emulsion or morbloom.

 

[BudShark]

Looked up the Morebloom, available here, price is reasonable, might pick some up at flowering time. Cheers

I've used both of these as a nute tea. They work well every 2 wks or so but I use with other nutes. The pH comes out crazy but the plants don't seem to mind. Is this because it's organic?

 

[BudShark]

Hey 420, I would think this is the case, I use fish emulsion in my homemade soil, its a smorgasbord of plant goodies, never inspected the PH after inoculation, its like you say, the plants really seem to like it. There happy I'm happy, Cheers mate

Boombollie, I grow outside during summer, auto flowers, in big pots, organic soil mix, in my water i add a little magnesium salt, homemade calcium solution, a little molasses and fish emulsion to my water every feeding, plants turn out very healthy and love it. I slide a cover over the pots to protect the soil from rain sun and pests. Cheers
