Looking back at your mix the one thing I would add is Oyster Shell Meal, the dolomite takes quite a while to be real effective. I have found that although I like Subs mix it always ran a little low as far as PH for me. The Oyster Shell would help a lot with that.

Being that your in large pots you should not need anything other than good water and good tea. The soil should be fine unless your running something 14+ weeks. I would always add a little Nitrogen mix on the floor of the containers ala the Rev just to be safe. Also almost all organic nutes are going to drop the PH of your solution a lot so I would stay away from those and stick with the tea's, The Rev has some great tea that does include some light doses of nutes, I included one in a earlier post in this thread.

Good luck Cash

it puzzled me that he uses MH throughout the whole lifespan for the lady. As he stated in the book, he gotten better result with MH than HPS and just as slap said rev stuff looks good. We all have different method in doing things, I've never grown organic before and thought it might be different for this path.

There's good evidence that MH all the way through for cannabis may increase trichome coverage, but when I tried it I didn't notice any difference. Since my fixtures are all 600W, and MH in 600W size is a pain to source, I stick with HPS for the indoor stuff. Fluorescent lights, including CFLs, will offer up a little UV radiation that HPS lack.

@ j. Cash, oyster shell flower is tha bomb dude,Its amazing gear, a wealth of bok npk, s. And. A SHIT TON OF TRACE ELLEMENTS . :)

Um... oyster shell flour is primarily CaCO3 (calcium carbonate), no N, P, or K, and frankly little else besides CaCO3.

Does the oyster shell flower shred up critters also like diatomaceous earth?

No. DE is the remains of diatoms, whose skeletons are comprised primarily of silica. THIS is why it does what it does. Did you know that you cannot house young sharks on silica-based sand because it abrades their skin so badly they'll end up with large lesions, which can become infected and lead to death? As I mention above, oyster shell is comprised primarily of CaCO3. Rather different beast, and FAR more tasty!

No, it doesn't. It's pretty much the skeleton of the oyster and is made primarily of calcium carbonate. For trace elements, you're better off using kelp, rock dusts (especially volcanic), that sort of thing. The rock dusts need microbes to make them biologically available to the plant.

See, I have an extensive background in aquatic ornamentals (that's aquarium fish) because I used to work the trade. I'm also familiar with reptiles/herps because of my former work in trade. This is why I know what I know about the stuff that comes from the sea, you see.

Fish blood, why not? I'd be concerned if it were an apex predator like tuna, salmon, billfish, specifically because they accumulate heavy metals in their tissues. But if it's from fish like anchovies, sardines, smelt, that sort of thing, why not? Possible it can carry disease, but we're not ingesting it directly. I'm more concerned with bat guanos and people possibly inhaling something, or culturing something deadly if they make a tea with it. But, people still do and come out of it unscathed (if perhaps a little more smelly).

I think it's safer to use it as a top-dress. Just don't make a bunch of dust, and as long as your immune system is healthy you should be fine. Guano is great stuff (all poop, really).
