Is alaska morbloom a good nutrition for my plants I use only rain water with a pH of 7.0 I've been using the alaska fish fertilizer and it's done well in the growing stage and now they are starting to flower what should I do to get a good harvest? All my plants are in containers and outside.
If you like the fish fertilizer path and can already get the veg one then they should have the Alaska Morbloom at 0-10-10. Some of that should be used during veg too so the plants get more P and K to balance the 5-1-1 of the veg one. Say 75% veg to 25% bloom then switch that ratio as the plants get further into flower.
That stuff isn't made in Alaska these days but Indonesia and my bottle of the 5-1-1 says, Not for use in organic food and crop production. Something to do with heavy metals contamination. The bloom one warns of heavy metals but doesn't have that food warning. I've never used mine.
Rain water is usually slightly acidic from the sulphur and nitrogen oxides it picks up from our polluted atmosphere on the way down. Can be as low as 5 downwind of coal fired power plants. Acid rain in eastern Canada from US power plants decimated lakes all over Ontario and Quebec in the 70s -80s and has been cleaned up a lot but still happening. Lakes aren't supposed to be Tidy Bowl blue but looked like that once all life was killed off.
