Thanks guys, I actually stopped using the bio marine squid product after one use. I was brewing a worm casting tea and I figured why not throw in some of the GO products, I tossed some of the bio weed, bio root and grow and everything remained foaming and bubbling like it should, the last thing I put in was the bio marine and all the foaming action instantly stopped. I dont know if whatever microlife doesnt agree or I shouldnt have put that together in that order, or whatever.... but it was enough for me to not use it and suspect it to have chelated (spelling) nutes in it and not be 100% organic. Whatever, I had to be a smart shopper and buy a gallon for like $50 or something and use it literally once and decide its not for me. So whatever for the bio marine, maybe I'll try it again on something else in the future to use it up. But I do use the go products together with my worm teas, this is all still brand new to me, I've applied them 3-4 times so far, so I'm just literally starting to get how it all works, I can regurgitate the info but actually using it and understanding it completely are different, but I'm getting there.
What I started doing though, and I wish I thought of this sooner was to mix up a batch of GO nutes and a worm tea in separate 5 gallon buckets, and let that breed its own life for 24 hours, then mix the 2 50/50 trying to bring the PPM around 750 or so. Thats just what it ends up being and I check as a reference, my favorite thing about organics is no need to use meters anymore if I dont want to, I use my meter to verify water temp (68ish is what I shoot for) more than ppm. But so far just the recommended dose of general organics and the worm teas have gotten my girls going with no real signs of deficiency yet other than the minor stuff in the beginning while they were rooting as clones.
That feed store had a few things, soybean meal, kelp meal, and a few others, I'll see what else when I go over there. Let me just understand this, these products arent necessarily for gardening but for animal feed? Is that correct or am I not understanding that? I'm a city guy, I've been on camping trips but usually I'm not heading to far into the woods as they arent very close...I probably should....but I dont find myself near a feed store to often, nor do I have any clue how people actual "farm" or feed the animals on their farms or what they feed them with. One of those never had the need to know kinda things.
Thanks canna for the dark side comment, I appreciate it, it really is a fight to be able to do this. Someone has to do it though, right? As well as I'm not a true commercial type of grower though, I grow strains for their med properties, at least I try to pick them that way. The people that get my herb are sick, I have a couple people with fibro, one being my mother who has it worse than anyone I've seen before, another with hep C, but theres the others that have their insomnias and stuff like that, more importantly we have me and my severe mental anguish (j/k) that makes me smoke index finger sized joints twice a day, LOL.. Na but my people are sick though, thats not funny but thats the other reason I NEEDED to get my shit organic, they dont need anything else hurting them and neither do I, so I definitely take it more serious than I did. The dude with hep c has some serious lung problems as well but he tries to shake it off, but he can definitely use some smoke thats smoother and less harsh than the stuff I grew last grow, grown with botanicare, not entirely chem but not organic either.
So I'm just trying to get my weed correct for them and me, I appreciate the info you guys posted. When you really dont know any better you look at organic growing like its written in another language but in reality its easier once you understand, and cheaper isnt the word for it, its literally like penny's to the dollar. I wont lie, I'm still going to use my hygrozyme for a little while, once I get a control batch of plants going I can play with what I have and see whats working and whats not. I just planted 6 seeds to pick one or 2 from hopefully and the rest of my strains aside from 1 are going to be grown out and let go on this grow so I can just concentrate one growing 1 or 2 really good strains.....really really good and getting the most out of them for once rather growing 4-5 strains kinda ok. I had that newb syndrome that thought it was easy to grow 6 different strains in a 12 plant max area, and still think I'd get good at it working like that.
Thanks again for your input, as soon as I can take a ride over to that place I'll see what they have.
