Cheap sources of ferts/nutrients?

I'm trying to make a list of things containing the essentials for our ladies, and it has to be cheap as dirt (dunno about you, but i'm so poor a can't afford jiffys even :( )

So help me fill in the blanks, and add a little info if you got any. Hoping this thread will be helpful when dealing with deficiencies :weed:

N
Nitrogen
: (Vegging, photosynthesis)
Alfalfa (rabbit food, NPK 2-1-1) https://www.rollitup.org/organics/93764-triaco-what-its-found-where.html
Diluted pee (tons of micro nutes, yuck factor) https://www.rollitup.org/organics/17800-using-urine-fertilizer.html
Coffee (Acidic)
Steeped nettles

P
Phosphorus
: (Overall health)

K
Potassium
: (Flowering, health)


Micronutrients:

Calcium: (strong stems and healthy roots)
Crushed/powedered egg shells,

Magnesium: (chlorophyll production, healthy leaves)
Pumpkin seeds (12mg pr. 100 grammes)

Sulfur: (Protein & chlorophyll production)


Manganese: (Enzyme & chlorophyll production)


Boron: (Cell structure, sugar movement)


Zinc: (Plant size and health)


Copper: (Health & growth)

The main thing your plants need to be successful is water, so make sure you understand how much your plants are going to use and try to avoid over and under watering.

that being said weed is an easy plant to grow, they want to grow. you can simply use miracle grow in some regular soil or anything else you find at a store keeping in mind that you want ferts high in Nitrogen and Phosphorous for the vegging stage and different ferts high in Potassium for flowering. Like i said anyold ferts will work but you may end up sacrificing abit of quality.

last year i grew organically and i can say that the two most beneficial things i used were bat guano and worm castings. I would Highly recommend adding those to your soil

Palm Bunch Ash is the best source of organic Potassium: http://www.planetnatural.com/site/organic-potash.html
-The two of these are very alkaline and will take the place of any lime you would have used otherwise.

Worm Castings contain Magnesium

Copper is the least necessary element and the plants will be fine with the little bit found in most common organic ferts.
 
Meal seem to contain lots of goodies almost no matter what kind it is, be it seaweed, stone, bone or fish - found a danish site selling them, all organic ^^ Gonna try putting some in my teas.

Feeding my worms the bigger stuff, like pumkin seeds and eggshells to make some killer castings (for soil and for teas)

Can't find any molasses here, so i'm using syrup instead, seems to work ok. Found a site showing the contents:

Natrium, Na mg 75
Kalium, K mg 220
Calcium, Ca
mg 75
Magnesium, Mg
mg 34
Phosphor, P
mg 2.5
Jern, Fe
mg 2.5
Kobber, Cu
mg 0.24
Zink, Zn
mg 0.13
Jod, I
µg 5
Mangan, Mn
mg 0.11
Chrom, Cr
µg 5.0
Selen, Se
µg 1
Nikkel, Ni
µg 30
 
Listen to what Mother said and use that bonemeal. It's good stuff.

I'm guessing you're in Denmark? The Danes make fine cheese and milk. Go to your nearest dairy farm and ask if you can have some manure. Believe me they'll be happy to have you take away as much as you want. It's going to have urine in it as well.

You don't want it too fresh,as fresh manure can give off a lot of heat as it decomposes. Go for the drier looking stuff in the piles. If it's a big dairy op,there will be what looks like mountains of manure outside the barns. They literally move it with endloaders,but bring a shovel and a sack and ask nicely.

I hope that is of some help.
