LUI Day 53

here are the LUI’s on Day 53 . . . they are developing very nicely . . .

what we’re using is considered a bloom fert . . . we consider it an “early bloom” fert . . . we’ll try and illustrate / explain . . . as an example . . . . . . . . . Age Old Organics Bloom formula is 5-10-5 . . . lot’s of folk use that as their bloom fert with good result . . . that figures to a 1-2-1 nutrient ratio although fish ferts are often associated with a vegging fertilizer . . . that’s primarily true of fish emulsions . . . the fish emulsions we have seen and worked with are generally in the range of 5-1-1 nutrient ratio . . . that’s a good vegging fertilizer . . . but you are right . . . it would be a poor choice for blooming plants . . . for LUI bloom nutrients we are using Neptune’s Harvest Fish Fert which is 2-4-1 nutrient ratio . . . we’re using that in combination with Maxicrop liquid seaweed which is basically 0-0-1 . . . so in effect our Fish Fert and seaweed mix is 2-4-2 in composition . . . that’s the same basic 1-2-1 nutrient ratio as the Age Old Organics . . .

we believe this is the correct ratio for the first few weeks of the bloom cycle . . . since plants are “exploding” in growth during this time . . . some nitrogen is in order to help fully capture the growth spurt that often happens when a plant begins to bloom . . . after that we’ll shut off the Nitrogen entirely by switching to EarthJuice Bloom or an Indonesian bat guano tea . . . as for analyzing the stretch these babes have experienced . . . it is absolutely within the expected range . . . we figured on a doubling in size . . . and after more than 2 weeks in bloom they are still short of that . . .168 LUI-Day-53-close-view

If you were to use this solution ,made of Neptune’s harvest, and the maxicrop liquid seaweed . . . How would you incorporate it with the age old organics? Would you add ½ age old with ¼ seaweed and ¼ fish fert, or would that be to hot?

bleedgreen . . . . . . . . . what you suggest is possible . . . but the outcome when combining a variety of different ferts is more unknown . . . the simple answer would be to alternate rather than combine the 3 different ferts . . . for example . . . we’d use the fish fert / kelp mix for one watering and then the Age Old Organic’s for the next . . . in fact . . . using our ferts that way is fairly normal at the nest . . . as we’ve said before . . . it’s more important to understand the thinking behind our gardening decisions than it is to follow the exact products or methods we use . . .
