No, we haven’t lost our marbles
As we’ve mentioned previously here at the 3lb’s Cannabis Chronicles, one of the difficulties common in using Earth Juice fertilizers in our herb and vegetable gardens is the tendency of Earth Juice Bloom to settle. When this happens, the bottom of the container becomes a thick layer of [...]

Here are some final thoughts and notes on Earth Juice from a bird’s eye perspective.
In theory there’s no need to “flush” organic soil grown herbs before harvest. And, because organic fertilizers are not salt based like chemical fertilizers, traditional techniques for “flushing” wouldn’t carry away nutrient salts in the traditional meaning [...]
Flowering Recipes
As plants move from vegetative growth to flowering, their nutrient needs change, and so do the various formulas we use for making up Earth Juice teas for our plants. Early stage flowering plants can often use a fair measure of nitrogen as they stretch, so a normal Earth Juice mix in early flowering will [...]
Growing Recipes
One thing we discovered from comments in our Growing LUI with the 3LB “grow-along” at Cannabis World, was that we start feeding seedlings a little sooner than most other folks. We don’t wait until seedlings are any certain age before feeding them, in fact the first time a seedling needs to be watered, we’ll [...]
the 3LB Plant Feeding Philosophy
Back when CannabisWorld.com was in it’s heyday, the organic growing forum there was actually far more active than it’s similar counterpart at Overgrow, despite Overgrow’s significantly larger overall community. As moderators of that forum, it wasn’t unusual for us to get several PM’s and email requests for our fertilizer recipes [...]
There are a few more items in the Earth Juice line of products, out of fairness to the reader we would like to at least make them know these things are available. However, our experience with these items is not extensive, so we aren’t terribly comfortable giving any kind of full scale reviews, or recommendations, [...]

Micronutrients are not needed by a plant’s metabolism in the same kind of quantity as Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, or Calcium. Despite the fact that they are essential for proper plant health and growth, they can also become toxic if added in too large a quantity. Establishing a proper micronutrient balance is absolutely necessary [...]
EARTH JUICE META-K 0-0-10
Like Catalyst, which we just covered, Earth Juice Meta-K is also not specifically intended to be a “stand-alone” fertilizer, instead, it is used as an additive to EJ Grow and EJ Bloom. We’ve also found it helpful in acting as a potassium supplement for the garden when using other fertilizers too. [...]
EARTH JUICE CATALYST .03-.01-.10
Earth Juice Catalyst isn’t a “stand alone” fertilizer, rather it’s intended to be a compliment to their Grow and Bloom products. There was a sudden proliferation of “carbo-load” and similar products released for use by gardeners a few years back, and while EJ Catalyst has been around a bit longer than some [...]
EARTH JUICE BLOOM 0-3-1
We love our Earth Juice Bloom as a flowering fertilizer. Organic fertilizers are usually fairly slow in releasing nutrients, making EJ Bloom especially useful for late stage flowering. Because EJ Bloom has no Nitrogen, it’s our choice in middle and late flowering when it’s probably desirable to let herbs use up the [...]
EARTH JUICE GROW - 2-1-1
We consider this product to be the “jack of all trades” among the Earth Juice products. We use more EJ Grow than any of their other products, because it is so useful and versatile. EJ Grow is useful throughout all of a plant’s vegetative growth stage, and we usually continue to [...]
Introducing Earth Juice Fertilizers
As former moderators of the organic growing forum at CannabisWorld, and current mods for a similar forum at ICMag, the three little_birds are fairly well known in the medicinal cannabis community for our love of growing using organic fertilizers. While we understand that not everyone agrees with our perspective, every member of [...]
