New grower looking to go organic - would this work?

Indoor Growing Organics

**As a disclaimer, I currently do not have the space nor the means to mix together a water only substrate. Therefore, I need to go halfway here, or at least try to.

I’m contemplating using Gaia Green Living Soil supplemented with Alaska Fish Fertilizer in veg and then Gaia Green Power Bloom while in flower. The living soil has been supplemented with approximately three to four weeks worth of nutrients. I’m interested in using the fish fertilizer because it’s hard to overfertilize with it, and for some reason I think it would help increase the flavour profile of the strain I want to grow.

If that won’t work, or there are issues involved with using the fish fertilizer, would I be better suited to using the Gaia Green 4 - 4 - 4 all purpose fertilizer?

Indoors or out?

Alaska Fish stinks. Outdoor-only for me, I found out the hard way my office smelled like a fish factory. It’s great for the plants, but if you are planning on opening that jug inside brace yourself. :cowboy_hat_face:

I’m not familiar with the Gaia lines but in general it shouldn’t be a problem to mix things up a bit. The fish fertilizer is fast, rapidly available and I usually used it to supplement deficiencies as they arise or just to provide a periodic boost of N.

Curious why you can’t mix a substrate. Do you mean like a FPJ or LAB or something like that? Doesn’t that usually just take a Mason jar?

For the fish fertilizer just don’t overdo the N

I don’t have access to high quality compost. I know how to make it, but I don’t have a yard to leave it in to bake.

Indoors. Smell doesn’t bother me lol.

Okay so that’s what you meant. Understood. You can look into Korean natural farming inputs that you can make in Mason jars if you like.

I used Morbloom and never smelled anything fishy at all.
BUT, I never used their Grow offering, so maybe that is the fishy smell folks talk about…
Here is a pure organics list, all DYI. Opps, down below.
The LAB’s recipe, I do NOT use/add the sugar, for shelf life, that is posted.
I simply keep mine in the refrigerator, pullout a shot glass, and add that to 5 gallons of water.
LAB’s will wet the organic matter in your medium, then begin to feed on their micro organisms, and poop out plant food…perfect plant food.
Add some LAB’s to some wheat bran, then make that part of your medium mix, and Bob’s your uncle!

If you go into * the unconventional farmer* banner on the site, everything you need to grow organic is listed there.
