alaska fish bloom ken for the win this stuff works wonders :D http://www.homedepot.com/p/Alaska-32-oz-0-10-10-Morbloom-Fertilizer-100099251/202817750

I have seen that bloom food next to the fish veg food for years and never tried it for some reason.
It says its organic...but its not OMRI

Info on home depot website says do not use for vegetables

Good Eye!
I wont be useing that!

The Fish ferts for veg is for veggies and its OMRI organic :)

4 years ago when i 1st started growing, my son in law gave me a 50 pound bag of kelp powder.
I have been useing that for my K needs :) great stuff
I have a few pounds left. Im going to use that, along with liquid bone meal and high phosphorus bat poop :)

if you use fish products make sure they are hydrolyzed (cold processed), emulsions are heat processed and lose a lot of their great organic value. alaska fish is heat processed, still good stuff but not as good as hydrolyzed fish you can usually buy in bulk from farm stores and good grow shops.

Hell yeah! I don't know why I don't already have a worm farm
Just pure lazyness probably
But I have worms in living in my beds already :)
I used to compost, the worms would just show up to work
I gave them lots of coffee grounds and paper plates to eat
That was a few years ago, but I still see the worms when I plant

Thanks Sun. Good link!
fish emulsion is on the top of the list :)
Yeah man, Next year, Im going to step it up with all that stuff

 

[digdugdank]

I feed my worms alfalfa!! You can customize what you feed your worms, and dial in the end product. My worms also get all the leaves from my garden, the root balls and all. Stems get cut up and eaten, I add greensand and oyster shells. 2 days after I top dress with my castings, the plants seem to glisten in the sun and look very happy and healthy. My teas have never been the same as well. Supercharged life!! Digdug!!

They Seem healthy but some of them stalled..stayed healthy and happy lookin,
but, they were not growing one inch a day like they should have been.
and now,

I think some of them are starting to flower o_O
..and I think, the stretch has begun :confused:
this 1st one is a close up of dago#1 She slowed down a few weeks ago
Now she is growing again look close :)

some of these are huge photos so you can look close if you want :)
Apples #2 has started to flower i think. But Apples #1 doesnt look like it yet

 

[SunGrown]

looks like transition is setting in for sure on a few. Still a good enough size you should yield great I say.

My SFV's and blackberrys are pretty much going into flower and a couple of the West Coast Dog's are too. I am ok with it.

Heck yeah..its late enough now we dont have to worry bout reveg.
A few mid september harvests are fine with me too.:)

Ive never had super big plants..Im going to try to give them all more soil next year.
This is Dream Killer #4 going to be pretty tall..maybe 8 ft ?

If I get more than a pound from each plants , Im happy :)

 

[SunGrown]

I dont know dreamkiller at all, but if blue dream is dominate in her at all she could hit 12 feet tall by the end. Lookin good, love the small box too, I always really admire my tiny cinder block beds, they can produce!

 

[caregiverken]

Thanks for the Camaraderie SunGrown :)
Its really cool to have folks to share these with


Here is the Big E looking all OGish

I took her out of the 15gal pot and gave her a 25gal box :)

 

[digdugdank]

[SunGrown]

Please tell me your taking cuts!! @caregiverken

no doubt bro, I always take cuts just in case one is the winner! Then you have it, esp with seed plants.

 

[caregiverken]

yeah, you guys, im going to take a few cuts..But.
I like growing from seeds, and there are so many crosses out there that I want to grow..I cant keep them all..

I have to keep my wifes Bubba kush cut inside over the winter...so, i guess i have room a few more strains :)
