ok, got some more stuff to finish my home made nutes.



J. Arthur Bower's - Sulphate of potash,
0-0-48

Lyle's - black treacle,
0-0-0 (+trace & carbs)

So I want about a 10-20-15 mix,

2 parts, chicken poo = 8-6-4
1 part, fish,blood n bone = 5-5-6.5
2 part, bonemeal = 7-34-0
1/3 part, potash = 0-0-16

total = 20-34-26.5

its only a ratio so works out at about, 10-17-13.25

looks good to me? :-)

So I cooked the fish blood n bone, bonemeal, potash n treacle on a low heat and shook with the chicken poo in a jug, I also added a few drops of wilko's - weekly cleaner (natural micro organisms that degrade ammonia & nitrite) as I think chicken poo will be high in ammonia and this will help?



I think I have covered all the main + micro nutes quite well with this tea but we will see!

Tomorow I'll feed my babys my organic concoction, lets hope they like it :-)

That ammonia is going to reek like you poured piss in there lol. It will be strong as hell indoors; probably so with a carbon scrubber/?

I posted the You Stuck that Bottle Where SoG haha

So went to my fav grow shop, wilkinsons. lol


Got some organic nutes to brew for tea.

VitalEarth's - Chicken poo,
Sourced from happy hens! (lets hope that helps, lol)
4-3-2 (+trace elements and humus)

Wilko's - fish,blood & bone,
5-5-6.5

Wilko's - bonemeal,
3.5-17-0

And one of them cheap soil PH testers, I test the run off but more tests is better!

I still need to find some bat poo and blackstrap molasses, dont have any idea where to get bat poo? and think I will have to substitute molasses for treacle.
keep us informed on your magical potion
it deffinatly sounds like youv coverd all angles so should do well an i have a wilko local to me so if it works well i can steal ur formula lol id keep an eye on the fish, blood & bone tho as its slow release an you could get a build up im gonna get me the same bonemeal an sulphate of potash for a npk of 7.34.48 usin your ratios im just lookin for somethin with a high nitrogen content now to bring the n up to about 30

blackstrap molasses is available from holland an barret they have jars of it but if you ask someone to fetch it for you make sure you tell them you dont want it in tablet form lol (my dear mother got me tablets "dope") as for bat shat thay did have it at b n q a few months back if not just google it

Wilkinsons sell an feed that is just nitrogen, called "Sulphate of ammonia" this is non organic though. :-(

Good idea about holland and barret, but I got black treacle now instead as its our English equivalent.

will check B & Q for bat poo, next round but I used potash instead for the k

Just tested and it needs some dolimite lime to buffer the ph to 7 as its acidic atm.

I have about 10KG of ingredients for £15! thats some cheap organic nutes, lol

got the finishing ingredients for my organic home brew nutes,



J. Arthur Bower's - Garden lime,
N-P-K unknown? (used to regulate/buffer PH in nute mix)

Wilko's - Seaweed plant food,
0-0-1 (60 trace elements, growth hormones and disease control properties)

So I will finish mixing and apply, fingers crossed!

So I fed it to em at 650ppm! about half strength, just to test my nute maths n not kill em this late in game! PH was 6.9 when mixed wiv water.

Took a pic, they aint that yellow its my "sylvania son-t-plus HPS bulb" messin my pic up. :-)


I ran out of Ionics bloom hydro nutes (using in soil, slap wrist. lol) and cant be arsed to go to grow shop as Its miles away.....

Bout £20 all in and I have enough poo n stuff to make about 200L at 100:1 concentration! thats some cheap ass 100% organic nutes, lol

do it no shit ;).

i bet ya like the results, possibly do a side by sider if ya dont believe me, just brew a mushie tea seperatrely and only add to one plantys feeding or something...

just lookin at ya mushie tea idea now!
found this out,

Mushrooms contain several key nutrients, including copper, potassium, folate and niacin, according to recently analyzed nutrient data. The mushrooms also provide a significant amount of potassium.

Looks good to me! Mushie tea all round, lol
