Hi everyone. :hello:

I'm thinking about a bloom fertilizer. My plants are 37 days into flower, looking good, and I will be the first to tell you that i have no real need for any nutrients. I vegged my plants for a month and a half, and have now flowered them for 37 days, with nothing but my soil and tap water. The soil, i always thought anyway, is(was) "hot". I used "Scotts Potting soil with Osmocote". This osmocote is a time-release fertilizer, and has since scared me to use anything fertilizer related.

However. My plants are roughly halfway through bloom, and I want to fattem 'em the hell up! Just make them thrive a bit more.

An awesome solution to my problem would be if someone would introduce me to a product i can find locally at, for example, a home-depot or lowes. I don't want to feed a lot, maybe a few times, just so the plants have some healthy energy to run off of.
Otherwise, I'm not completely against ordering any nutrient from the computer, I would just want it to be worth my while because it's not as if I can even physically see it before I buy.

Moving on, I found a product called "Green Light Super Bloom". The main reason I let this product catch my eye is because I used "Green Light Rooting Hormone" with fine success. Here's some info from the website:

Super BloomŪ
* One of Green Light's finest products - makes plants want to bloom!
* Non-staining color aids in application.
* Contains chelated iron for quicker plant growth and rich color in leaves.
* Instantly soluble for all applications - will not clog sprayers.
* Special wetting agent helps to improve penetration of all plant nutrients.
* Contains 12-55-6 plus iron.
* Available in 8 oz., 1 1/2 lb., 3 lb. and 20 lb. bags.

It's soluable at two Teaspoons per gallon, I read the bag. I don't know if the middle of flowering for weed, if 12-55-6 is the best npk. :shrug:

Any information ( I'm not all that informed!!! ) or opinions or questions.. Well, please! 2thumbs

Thanks :taunt:

Hey guys. Thanks for the heads up with the Alaska Morbloom. I'm not entirely sure some stores by me carry it, i'll look. But anyway, I already have Alaska Fish Fert 5-1-1 .. And I noticed there's another Alaska product called Startup and it's made with molasses.

My question: I already have one of the three, would a trio like this compare to say a trio from fox farm or something? (( Just thinking ahead for next time, anyway. ))

Maybe since you're concerned about the fert level allready just go with some bloom booster and skip the actual bloom nutes?

I was just in a huff w/ this post cause I wanted to feed them but had nothing. next time i'll buy a line of stuff, fox farms or GH or earth juice or something. I wonder how different all of these nutrients can be. lol.
