Anyone know of good homemade organic nutrients for flowering? Im going to try a banana peel tea for starters. Thoughts?
ISO cheapest, efficient homemade flower nutes.

Want to help you but this is probably not the answer you were looking for. Banana tea feeds soil microbes that in turn feed the plant through decomposition. Not really like feeding chelated nutrients.
But.. If your mix does not contain active compost it won't do much to feed your plants. Adding some worm castings/compost along with it and/or brewing an aact would help.
There are all kinds of fermented plant extracts, spikes, and fertilizers you can make at home but you also
need an active and well established soil base in order for whatever you add to be broken down and absorbed by the plants.
What kind of a soil mix do you use?
Did you add any compost?
Is this for outdoor or indoor?

Don’t waste your $ on AN (water)
MegaCrop is cheap n easy , not worth my time to source n make my own food.
@AquaTerra is very easy to deal with.

No fuckin' doubt dude.... I grew with advanced for years, knowing it was mostly water and costly... for the simple reason that it worked.
After a sample size pack of Megacrop and a side by side comparison grow.... Ordered the big ass bag of Megacrop. (Make sure to keep it in an airtight container, it will pull moisture from the air n get all solid n nasty on ya... I broke mine down to several vac sealed bags.)
I do kinda wish they used a better name/logo, the marketing of it screams cannabis, which I'd prefer not to do, but it works, and its super cost effective.
I 100% recommend and stand by Megacrop.

Banana peel tea it is then. Sounds like you got this organic thing pretty much down. There's a sticky somewhere in the organic section that has fpe recipes and the npk values of all kinds of things after decomposition.
Made a dandelion tea once but I don't recommend that; smelled horrid & the plants did not care. Liquid fish works awesome, mega crop is good but I'm using neptunes harvest m. Not really homemade but you can DIY fish emulsion.
Bass-o-matic....mmm that's great bass!!!!

Nice okay thanks for input, probably going to go with Big Bud and try it out to help a bit. Guys are getting 3+ lbs a light using advanced nutrients so im gunna see what all the hype is about

(Last post to you before ignore)
I get over 3 a light .
AN will not do that for you. Guys who pull that weight can do it with any nute .its about understanding the plant n keeping conditions perfect, not what salt water your pouring on it .
All your gonna do is lose $$$
But you can’t fix stupid !

Late to the party here, did you end up going with big bud and how did it go? I too was going to look at mega crop. Only feeding and nutrients I’ve ever ran was the Fox Farm trio. So I’m trying to venture out and see if there is anything better than that limited baseline. Sometimes it pays to keep things simple I think

foxfarms is meh. Not the worst but not amazing. Neptunes harvest is good. Real organics dont require bottles. Most of that stuff is overhyped. The person speaking the most truth in this thread was @BigHornBuds
