Creating Nutrient Mixture

Anyone every tried creating nute mix with different fruits blended together? I'm going for an all natural kind of thing here. I blended some apple, tomato and bananas whole with about 50 percent water mix then strained the little pieces out.

That sounds like baby food - for human babies.

I figured it'd be more interesting than just going to the store and picking up some miracle grow.

how do you suppose this is gonna work?? sound lame i would rather use MG...

id do more research on it, good idea, but i know coffee grinds will do more for you then tomatoes. Also, tomatoes are basic, and so is coffee so you have to make sure to test your pH after your slurry is complete

Thanks for the input BeefSupreme, I'll add coffee grinds in the next cycle. It'd be awesome if the buds smell or tastes like coffee! Maybe I should toss in some water melon...

Nutrients is nutrients. And different fruits, etc, have different types of nutrients so I'm playing with a few combinations. Why stop at controlling the amount of light and type of light? Why not create your own nutes from scratch and go full circle?

Update: One of the plant about 12 days old is starting to smell and it sorta smells like coffee grind. It may just be me?.. And 12 days in the plants are starting to grow leafs where the leaf stem and main stem meet. Is that normal or fast? And on one of my plants it grew from 1 set fan leafs to a single set of 3s to two sets of five fan leafs. I usually see plant with atleast 2 to 3 sets of 3 fan leafs before switching to 5s. Is that strange?

you make make a tea with cowshit and some molasses with some liquid seaweed, but fruit won't help you.

Yeah just give it some bat or worm poop...that is all natural and plants love it!!

Oh man I can't even begin to imagine what that would smell like in my room lol.. My grow is sitting right next to my computer desk.

It doesn't smell at all. I use it all the time. The fruit rotting will smell nice though.

I use it (castings and dried cowpies) and it doesn't stink at all. It's not fresh shit. It's allowed to become stable as the enzymes and heat break it down until its ready for packaging or use. Should be fine in my opinion. If anything, the raw stuff you may be using could rot and cause problems possibly. Maybe not but that's some thoughts that come up in my mind...

Ok I'll keep those things in mind when I transplant. Thanks for the suggestions. The fruits were blended very well and strained then mixed with 50% water and placed in a sealed container so there's no smell or rot.

Plants don't eat like you and I. To get the max nutes out of something like what you are talking about the fruit is going to have to rot. That is what plants live on in nature is rotting and decaying things, not fresh mixtures of fruit and such. I think that they would probably not benefit much if at all from fresh fruit puree.
