I want to put it in but how do I make it fit?

Where do all these "liquid organic fertilizers" fit in exactly? There's silica, kelp, seaweed, fish emulsion, molasses, so on, and so forth.
But if I'm just watering twice a week then how do I incorporate these into my waterings correctly?

Is it good practice combining more than one during a single watering?
Or should it be a regiment where I use one for each watering i.e I water with added liquid seaweed Tuesday and Friday I us only added silica and water.

I switched from bottled organics to dry amendments. Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed is a good liquid nute to keep just in case though. Emulsion stinks. Neptune's is hydrolysate which doesn't smell that bad.

I figured I was just trying to use too much shit. No pun intended. I think I'll just use the kelp and seaweed one for the first couple weeks and then move to only using the added silica.

Imo, the kelp, seaweed, and fish emulsion would be similar in effect, molasses is just microbe food(maybe with a little sulfur) but the silica, I use that every watering up to week 4 In flower. I hear silica is mainly for building new cells and she should have plenty built up to finish out by that time, unless you have a long flowering strain.
I would silica, seaweed, molasses then silica kelp and emulsion. Just flip them

Be easy with the molasses. It can lower soil pH. And the roots can provide sugar to the microbes too.

Thanks @Johiem. This would be specific to my current grow, which are autos in roots organic, ewc, compost, and perlite.

Definitely sounds good. I've had a batch of compost cooking since May, I like your recipe, been looking for something simple to add it to.

kelp/seaweed also contains natural plant growth regulators like cytokinin, gibberellin, and auxins which literally double cell growth in some cases. stuff is magic.

I vote for the kelp / seaweed and Recharge as well. great combo. huge boost of growth and lots of bennies to feed the plant cell highway.

Kelp is good stuff, but I use kelp meal as a top dressing instead of bottled kelp. Easier too. I've never used Recharge so I can't comment on it, but I'm sure it's decent.

I use both. kelp meal goes into my soil mix, and then I just have a quart sized mason jar in the fridge that I fill half full w kelp meal and rest w water. let it sit for a week, meal settles, open jar slowly and u have instant kelp tea. 1tsp per gallon and they go crazy. top back off w water and put back in fridge. I've had the same jar going for a couple months.

also have used the liquid seaweed from Roots Organics - Extreme Serene. that stuff is great too.

Recharge works so good sometimes I feel it's like cheating lol. first time I used it wasn't til I was like 2nd or 3rd week of flower. that boost it gave thru transition and bud onset made the buds so heavy the stems couldn't keep up. now that I used bokashi in my soil mix and make fresh ewc tea I don't use it as much unless I feel they really need a kick.
