You can get Future Harvest Fish Hydrosolate (sp) in the US.Quick fix stuff.A lot of organic growers use as a back up.
I have Neptune's Harvest fish fertilizer. I made a tea with it middle of last week with some build a flower. Watered in 5% of the earthbox.


Had a read,seams nothing is really strong in the build a bloom stuff,https://buildasoil.com/products/buildaflower-top-dress-kit

You can get dr earth its more like gaia,has more water soluble Nitrogen.
The build a bloom or build a flower?

This is something I’m gonna start playing with. The Gaia bloom is high in P also. Seams the N and K should be higher then the P??
when I did hydro ratios were like 3-1-2 for veg and 2-1-3 for bloom.

I was under impression that plants like high PK in flower, with medium N thru stretch, then lower N after stretch? I use Lucas formula for hydro, so the ratios are already figured out for me.

Which one? 8-16 or 6-9 I tried 8-16 was way too strong for the strain I had,switched to 6-9 but a little too much N,had the shinny dark green look so reduced it to 4-9 better but something was still off. Thats the beauty of hydro mixes you can play with ratios a little.

8/16. I was doing 5/10, but she wanted more! Lol
The big fan leaves are a lil dark but she doesn't show any burn.

Looks like the "Life" is pellets. According to their website it has fast and slow release nutrients. From the looks of it, I believe those same pellets are in the fertilizers I use, along with a bunch of powdered dry ammendments. They also offer some of their lines in a concentrated liquid.

Well if its pellitized then its meant to dissolve slowly as you water over it.Use in the garden so wind doesn't blow it away.Not sure about in a sip.
