I plan to switch to organic as my time is cut alot and dont have time to fill up reziviors and PH stabilize etc.
My choices are;
LC's MIx
Base Mix Peat Moss + Perlite + EWC + Dolomite Lime
Nutrient Mix 1/3C hi N Guano Mexican Bat Guano or Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/2C hi P Guano (Jamaican or Indonesian Bat Guano)
1TBS Kelp Meal
(OPTIONAL) 1TBS Jersey Greensand1/3C hi N Guano Mexican Bat Guano or Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/2C hi P Guano (Jamaican or Indonesian Bat Guano)
1TBS Kelp Meal
(OPTIONAL) 1TBS Jersey Greensand

or Biotanicare Growilla

So my question is this.
Will the LC's Mix be sufficient from clone to flower(can top dress amend if needed) with transplanting into final pot 10 days before switch or better to keep in same pot as I always due when suing chem ferts ( 3 gallon).
If not Growilla will be my choice even though its a bit pricier.

Hope some organics people can help. Im in Canada so my amendment selection isnt the greatest for super type soils.

So its a slow release organic for indoors?
What kind of ratios are you using for your plants?
Thats considerably cheaper than Growilla.
Nute companies are notorious for bad feeding charts leading to burn plants.
Appreciate the help as I just hate all the work chem has me doing.
You PHing or just using good water and Dolomite lime?

now you got me looking at this growilla ! lol

my grow rooms have their own spring water spigot inside, I think the well water is responsible for some of
my success. Organicare is a slow release for indoor or outdoor too. I followed the directions for awhile and now eyeball
about four cups at flower onset and four more at around 30 days, turned in the top of the five gallon bucket of promix only.
In veg I feed a shot of dried fish powder in new promix in one gallon bags till ready for flowering.
I dont use dolomite or any ph adjusters, havent seen my ph meter since when put the hydro trays in the rafter storage and went organic style. i loved my hydro, was more expensive for sure, wetter too, but not as dirty or heavy, so....

if my hydro gave me better results I would have continued and I loved my hydro experience.

Thanks and yeah I have good chem results in coco, just dont have the time anymore and hate PH ajusting all the time.
So you fert about 2wice per bloom cycle instead of the every 2 weeks reccomened? Any reason why? Using additives etc?

2 oz fert biweekly x 8 weeks=8oz ferts per cycle
1 cup= 8 ounces(dry and weight app), twice = 16 oz per cycle.

I doubled down for success. keep in mind my eyeball four cups is likely less, as the four cup scoop is never full to the top.
I have added their liquid version along with this but not sure if needed yet.

When running this 2 OZ What size pots are you running/ OZ per gallon of soil? Every experience any burn at all with mature plants ( not seedlings or early clones)

I scoop what looks about 2+ cups of botanicare in a five gallon pail filled with about 4 gallons of pro mix hp. I add about 1.5 gallons of water or till slight run off then I dont water until light, about one gallon each time, or a little run off. I've never seen burn until I tripled this amount of ferts, I think the best bet is the addition of a couple oz of ferts biweekly until last time. I have always added 2+ cup at the beginning and another at 30 days with no issues though.
