id love to get to a point were I'm not using any bottled notes which i still am but i have a lot more to learn you doing great id like to get to a complete organic program. ok on the amount of compost its about half of a 1.5cu ft bag so are my amounts good with that and ill look into some p and k amendments maybe some other types of guanos, i also use fresh coffee grounds to bring the ph in the soil to around a 6.8. I've been thinking next time i may supplement some peat moss and mushroom compost for the manure compost next time and on the fish and seaweed fert its by neptunes its OMRI 2-3-1 .5% of the nitrogen is water insoluble.
Ah, alot less compost material than I thought before. That sounds like you are pretty dead on. Id up the bone meal just a tad but other than that it's a good lineup for soil.
Screw that chart
Basic breakdown on nutes for pot goes like this - Lots of nitrogen to begin with during veg > medium nitrogen begging of flower and a bit of P > lots of P mid flower with just a tad of N and some K > no N medium P and K > harvest.
Most organic ammendments are not water soluble which means they much be broken down before use - essentially slow release. The rate at which these break down and become available has to do with the type of amendment as well as how it is processed (finely ground bone meal breaks down faster than roughly ground...).
So going organic you are trying to aim to have the soil release the correct amounts of each nutrient at the correct time. I vary my nutes based on what is available but here is the reasoning behind my mix:
Alfalfa meal or cotton seed meal - A small bit of nitrogen and a large amount of carbon that breaks down very slowly. The carbon helps feed the bacteria while it breaks down other nutrients and this slowly starts to feed the plant small amounts of nitrogen late into flower - you want some yellowing of leaves but you don't want them to all fall off early.
Bone meals - P source that breaks down fairly slowly to really slowly depending on form. This wont be available at the begging but starts to kick in towards flowering and provides most all of your P.
Blood meal, feather meal, fish meal - medium release nitrogen source. I would make sure to only use a small amount of these as they are the easiest way to provide too much N during flower and there's nothing you can do to stop the release once it's in the soil.
Bat/bird guanos - these are water soluble (immediately available) and are used to supplement the soil born amendments. Use N rich at the begging of veg to give it a huge N burst that dissipates quickly and to fortify P by top feeding or through teas during flower. If you have a N deficiency late in flower a bat guano tea would be your go to fix.
Kelp meal - fast, medium, slow release depending on form. K supplement for late flowering.
So I start off by adding bone meal, feather meal/fish meal, alfalfa meal, and N rich bat guano to the soil initially. The bone meal, alfalfa meal, and feather/fish meal sit there for the first several weeks starting to break down doing very little while my bat guano supplies fast release N. Once the bat guano starts to burn out the feather/fish meal kicks in to supply N in a lower quantity and the bone meal and kelp meal start to release P and K. As the feather/fish meal putters out the alfalfa meal takes its place. Later into flower as the bone meal and kelp meal starts you putter out you can supplement with P rich bat guano and kelp tea. At the end most everything should be used up.
