Why do you not want to use sea kelp?
technaflora soluble seaweed is like 0-0-12 ?

You can, but you need to be careful because you're getting a lot of other stuff (I can't call them secondary PLANT metabolites, because algae technically isn't a plant), hormones, etc, along with those nutrients. And if you overdo it, well... good luck!

Not entirely sure what to use for p. Huge shot in the dark but crabshells? Idk. I use banana peels for K though. I have a humble pile of compost going in a small tote in my grow room. Fun as hell bro. It's an amazing process. Amazing how hot the pile gets. Read a book called let it rot. Pretty interesting stuff.

Spent blossoms of other plants will have P located in those tissues.

Fish bone meal is 3-16-0...

As for potassium only dry amendment... sulfate of potash is some serious shit at 0-0-22 I believe... But I can't say much as for actually using it.

Do you feel that your mix is lacking K for some reason? What is your current mix like?

Edit: Someone said something about crab meal... 'tis 4-3-0, FTR.

I've used it, but you've really gotta be careful as it's very alkali, so you can only use a little bit.

I recently learned that lye is made from soaking hardwood ashes.

What's good caveman? New recipe is still solid but not the same. a bit pricey now though... I haven't ran much of it. I use my own blend of bat and seabird Guanos. I always use ewc throughout every cycle. < that's is gold I don't care what anyone says!
Organic pk boosters are tricky, I've messed upthe timing vs aavailability and ended up with harsh smoke... that's why I recommended roots organic, its chelated and user friendly

Composting old plants is the way to go! I throw in stalks and root balls into my compost basically a worm farm. Within a month it decomposes to some very rich material. Works best when growing organic

Actually, just make a tea with 'em. For your consideration--fermented plant juices/extracts.

Hey fellas was doing some reading and came across this link. Could be useful for compost additives for certain micros and macros!

This is true, but California is a Nazi state when it comes to omri certified. I believe they won't allow anything containing EWC as organic believe it or not. I learned this from farmers trying to utilize compost teas but couldn't not do that and stay "organic" in Ca.
Botanicare just changed their labels too. It now states on the back "not for use on organic crops in Ca"
I know produce farmers that use PBP on their certified organic crops that are now worried due to the scrutiny of.

IMO Ca is using strict rules on organic as a source of income. I may be wrong

I wonder if it's because of the mining or the processing..or both. I bet pure Potassium Sulfate is labeled organic..if it's raw and pure from the source. It would have to be for organic food farm.
@ Tnelz Seamaiden is right about the kelp...and bonemeal for that matter, them being strong additives..especially indoors. soil amending being the slippery slope indeed.

Not true, Z. Also, OMRI doesn't certify a thing, they are basically a list compilation service, that's it.

Right now the issue with manures are the NOP rules, and the state must remain in compliance there.

The issues inherent with how our government handles organic vs conventional agriculture again starts at the top, and absolutely, the states' certifying agencies are responding to it. Third party and all that shit, yeah? Yeah.

Thanks for the info but it makes one hell of a tea and I'm not in Cali! Also plants getting the tea containing budswell aren't grown organic. Although there are some organic components to their feeds. Again thanks for the wisdom bro.

I shared the link with you regarding the fpe and npk. Your name is mentioned and then the link is below that.
I noticed that budswell indicated the Organic food crop thing on the label so shared the information.

it was intended for everyone. not directed @ you.

I wouldn't sweat it Z... As for California Organic Program it's geared for foodstuffs. So there are a long list of reasons products won't make the list. Bat Guano no matter how pretty the label is anything but morally sustainable. Seabird Guano is highly sustainable and most likely a pure product. These nute companies are sourcing from people who knock holes into the sides of bat caves..knowing the bats won't migrate to other colonies. Then you have the cave conditions..which would be bats pooping onto a carpet of cockroaches who are eating their shit and pooping themselves.
BUT..I have no problem smoking buds grown on bat guano..as long as i can't taste it..I could care less...and have used plenty of batshit..call me crazy.
