Organic growing.. early flower

I could use some advice. I am a first time grower trying to do outdoor organic. Using Bio Canna line and omri ca/mag along with Raw kelp. Plants are at 14.39 hours of light per day and decreasing. 5 of them started flowering and I went to look at the cost of bio boost and its like $100 per liter. Any ideas on subbing something similar? Also seeing some early yellowing from the bottom of the plant. Including some photos. What ya think? Nitrogen def? Or early sugars?

I don’t see any signs of N deficiency anywhere so keep up the good work! As far as something organic to help out making the bud sites a little bigger and more dense, you could possibly try blackstrap molasses or other molasses products

I top dress with roots organic uprising bloom and I give them earth juice bloom and a bit of liquid kelp.

I also do 1/2 a tsp of epsom salt and (molasses which feeds the microbes) and silica.

No reason to spend a lot of money on expensive nutes I promise.

I dont see any signs of deficiencies

Sick! Thanks heeps. I see them all day so I figured it be good to get an outside perspective and make sure I'm not screwing anything up.

Np... I must be doing something right because these things are still exploding every time I see them

Thats a huge stem. carve it into something cool. after you harvest.

I might lol
Look at the stem on my avatar...now that sucker was MASSIVE

might be able to pass it thru the mill and get a few 2x4s

Was this the type of yellowing you were talking about? If so, dont even worry about that. Newer growth will turn greener as it gets bigger, They're likely starting the stretch so growing quick.

And as GG and others have said theres no need to speed a bunch of money on organics, I love organics for this very reason, as well as way less work when the soil does everything for you.

Something thats helped me the last few years is just learning basic soil food web, what makes good organics, then you can start stockpiling good materials to make your own big batches of compost or whatever for future crops. (Start farming earth worms, and they'll do almost everything for you)

Nice job either way for your first grow. Things are coming along great.

That wasn't what I was talking about but thanks for the good info. I ended up just buying the boost. I will do the epsom salt molasses next grow. That being said I switched them over on the 8th but I think I may have switched to bloom nutes to quickly or to frequently as they have burnt tips now. Its been 100 degrees here the last 2 days also so they are drinking almost everyday. I suplement h20 only in between feeding. I did a h20 flush yesterday. I collected the run off and it was 1440 ec and 720 ppm. Not sure if that is good or bad ??? I need some advice if I should put a lil less boost and ad some veg nutes back in? Also if maybe I should be doing nutes everytime I water? Like maybe kelp and calmag on the days I do plain water? Maybe I'm over thinking it... I was thinking I could increase the cal mag from maintanence 1ml / gal to 3ml/gal to help with nitrogen def. I noticed some disfigured leaves that are also turning yellow but very small amounts like 2 to 3 leave per plant. I will add some photos. I appreciate any advice! Thanks friends!
