Organic Nutrient and Amendment recipes

[Hobbit]

Holy shite your right mate had to go look up ny organic NPK charts. Didnt realize it was that high. Noticed while i was there banana stalk ash is 49.6 in K. Woop woop I am harvesting a bunch this week, I know where that stalk is going now. Wonder though if by stalk they mean stem or if its the flower stalk they refer to. Also mine cost me about $1 p/ltr as i used raw sugar not mollases and my sea weed is free.

A quick and easy off the shelf recipe for those looking to keep things simple.

(Based on an autoflower cycle)

Soil - Plant magic soil supreme. This consists of sphagnum peat, fytocell foam and pre fertilised organic root stimulant. The fytocell foam will retain moisture, provide aeration and is 100% bio degradable. The pre fertilised organic root stimulant within this mix is extract from decomposed plant material and animal remains and provides a great food source for beneficial fungi and microorganisms.

There are 450 million colony forming units of rhizospere bacteria per one gram of charge, these vastly improve nutrient cycling and availability when growing organically. This also contains derivatives of chiten which is a found in the cell walls of insects. The chitinous derivatives are able to elevate the plants resistance to pests and disease.

Tip top Blue, just a couple of questions mate is that charge a liquid, I was under the impression it was a solid. Also when you say 2 handfuls of pebbles per pot im guessing thats an 18 ltr pot. Tops recipe this is I hav a plant growing in a mix with this recipe ( which i stole from your diary) I have substituted the charge for vermicast and a different soil and the plant to date is the most advanced seedling ive ever grown. Cheers mate.

Hey Hobbit

The charge is powdered form and comes with its own mixing scoop which is labelled to ensure you mix correctly. The pebbles are down to personal preference tbh. Ive applied two handfuls to my 18L pots and Ive also recently applied two handfuls to my 10L pots with no issue and the same results. Anything below 10L I'd consider just adding in one handful in the bottom layer.

Good to here the mix is serving you well so far. Ive now opted for the addition of coco in there also but that's still being tested out at the moment.

Not sure of it being a recipe but I've used willow Tree branches cut up in to inch chunks, poured water on them in a bucket. Let them sit for 24 hours and used it for a rooting aid.
Having a browse on the net it's to do with the Indolebutyric acid.

Sounds like a recipe to me mate, thanks for your input buddy.

Ive heard of willow as a rooting agent too mate, never knew it was too do with Indolebutyric acid, but if memory serves thats the same acid as commercial rooting gels, dont quote me though.

Years ago we planted a load of willows on my mates farm and we just stuck a length of tree in the ground. We used it on his canna and it worked a treat.
