budswell is usually a dry mix of bat guano, seabird guano, crab shell, meal, and some others. It is a good all around flower fert, i recommend adding molasses at 3tbl per gallon and some sea kelp extract for root development.

Soil Secrets EA & EN are not plant food and sould be added to water mix right before planting... It is food for the soil not the plant. I use it at the start of every stage of the plant cycle and once more during the middle of flowering. I have had good results with it's application.

I also use teas every 3-4 weeks. Worm Castings, Guano (type depending on stage), Greensand, Kelpmeal, and Alfalfa Meal. And as of late Azomite. My girls love it. Just not too much. I add alot of dry organic additives to the soil mix upon planting(transplanting), so I mostly just water with purified water.

I plan on getting my own worm composter going soon. That way no more buying Worm Castings, and I can add the proper type of food for my worms at the right stage of life cycle.

Good planting, you approach sounds right... All Organic gives you that great smell and taste you could never get from synthetic.

I've used "budswell" a lot ! Last year I used budswell with a mix of 1/3 of a gallon to 55 gal of water for my outside ! I use 55 gal a day on my outside plants ! This year I forgot to use it and my early crop had small buds ! I've just went back to it so we'll see ! I've got 50 plants outside !

I use budswell and it works great. And for soil I use miracle grow moisture control with added perlite, blood meal, and bone meal. Hope i helped

Quick question, how often do you give your plants budswell? and when do you start using it? can i use it daily starting from my second week? and also last question, if i put 2 table spoons in a gallon watre to feed the plant can i reuse the water later on in the week or will it go bad? sorry so many questions i just bought it and didnt use it for my last grow, but i have a friend who uses it and that plant is so beautiful.

OSG, that is a great response, and exactly what I was looking for.

Twisty... I went with ocean forest because it seems to incorporate everything I was taught to use in a soil mix.... But don't want to fuck with buying and mixing myself. I decided to go with something that is simple and premade. If I spend 40 dollars on soil (one and a half bags per 6-3 gal pots) per half to whole pound harvest, I am not hurtin' too bad. Saves me alot of gripe considering the only labor is the transplant and the mix in of additional perlite and dolomite lime
.

I think based on what I've seen in the plants response that I am going to continue to use the ocean forest.... I think this time around I am between the dry bar bat guano and the super swell... Sure it doesn't really make a shit's difference (someone kick me in the nuts for that one) which one I use so long as I administer a good healthy amount of phosphorous as well as micronutes to the plant.

Definitely gonna try out the soil secrets, as it is the cheapest innoculant (with humic acid to boot) I have seen yet that appears to be followed by great results.

Thanks for the response....

Much appreciated

I did same thing I wanted a good soil mix I ended up mixing a bag of fox farm ocean forest, a bag of roots organics original and a bag of roots organics 707 I mixed it with my used medium from my 1st grow which was Coco coir, peat moss, perlite and vermiculite
