Very strict guidelines here.

I used the MOAB synthetic from Mad Farmer and it produced twice as much resin and flower sites on the Mulanje in the compost pile. I am just looking for the same results from an organic source.

I can get good K from banana peels but I don't know how they were grown. P I can get from molasses, right?

I just want something that is fast that I can topdress with when the bud sites start forming.
bud swell works better than MOAB IMO... my buddy ran moab i ran bud swell . mine were more resinous and flavorful. bigger to but diffrent strains . i use it with a citric acid and corn sst ...lol... budswell is a topdess...

feel like i should say i in no way suggest that a well build soil needs anything but mycos (glomus irt.),love, and water....

i saw the neptunes on amazon but the Organically Done was what i had close by. i didnt feel like overnighting it. to me this Organically Done company seems legit but we all know how that can be... They are michigan based as well, which is my home state so i'm happy supporting them for now. I will try the Neptunes though!

Gonna get this brew going in a few. This is what I am thinking... any input would be helpful.

4 gallon brew from which i will make 12 total gal of tea... gonna feed some outdoor stuff too :)

1/2cup EWC
20ml fish
4tbsp molassas
3tbsp kelp meal
some of the boogie brew free sample i got
2-4tsp SEA90

Farm supply and landscaping supply may also have what you need. @hyroot located a place near me that has bagged worm casting for a great price (I make my own now). It is a landscape supply store. They have bulk compost for $60 a yard! I am going to cover my screen room floor with that stuff when I am ready to grow in there.

Burry them in a pile of mulch and some starter soil or Espoma compost starter. Cover it with some 1/4 inch hardware cloth (metal screen) to keep out pests. You can also cook the bits in a stew and freeze it. Bury it in the soil you want to plant in the spring.

The Neptunes Harvest smells like campbell's alphabet soup. Alaska fish smells like rotten fish puked up by a sea lion. The smell gets stuck in your nose like decomp.

This is good stuff. Used it many many times and the plants love it.

I love compost because the plants take what they need. Never a burnt tip. I am still looking for a good bloom booster for organic growing. The kelp meal in large doses may be the key. I love happy mistakes :bigjoint:
let me know what you think about this. I'm sure you're looking more for something you can source yourself naturally/cheaply but thought i'd suggest it to you. i've been adding it 1/2tsp per plant at transplant a week before flower and at week three of flower in topdress... but i was wondering about brewing it with a tea at week 3 instead! I think i've been seeing onset of flowers better than i was before fwiw.

sweet. i got just the fish one, because i already have the kelp!! do you feed it straight from the bottle or add it to teas while they brew?
I guess it depends what you're brewing. I like to keep compost teas separate from nutrient teas. I don't own an expensive microscope, so it's really guess work as to what helps or hinders microbial multiplication in an ACT. EWC and molasses is all I use for a compost tea.

I just add a couple tablespoons of that fish/kelp product to my sprayer and drench the soil.

I buy their products in stores around me in MI

@st0wandgrow I did 1tbsp of the Fish and 1tbsp of the Kelp in 4.5 gal and stuck the air stones in there til tomorrow. don't know if the O2 will aide in a nutrient feed like that with just the kelp and fish. should i add anything else or just go with that for those products in particular
