Gonna grab a 10lb loaf of alfafa meal. Its a 2-0-2 ish so i cant go wrong with that! Gonna grab a big thing of kelp too.....ive read endless good things about kelp and have always had some until now.
The alfalfa is almost enough food by itself but i would need some phosphorus and some secondary and micro nutes. (My tap may have all the Ca i need in it , im not sure)

Langbenite & Rock Phosphate can do some good. Possibly add some humic acids. The Biolive may contain all the goodies innit you seek too I have to look

I love DTE products. Bio live is a favorite of mine.

I also like FF Marine Cuisine 10-7-7 and a couple of their Happy Frog Blends with a lower N ratios.
Take note that some blends have fast acting guano or blood meal for N, some use slower acting N ingredients.

When I'm in the middle of a grow and looking at my plants and I'm not sure what to give them but can see they need something.
In a 5 gallon pot I'll apply 3/4 cup of EWC (fresh when available from my worm bin) and maybe 2 or 3 TBL of Kelp Meal.
I have a 20 LB bag of DTE Kelp meal that cost $55 shipped.
 
As far as fungus gnats.

Over the years I have battled them with just about everything except sand. I think sand works just never tried it.

With my worm bin I have a healthy population of Hypoaspis miles. When I am able to top dress fresh EWC after transplanting into a final 5 gallon pot, I never have issues with fungus gnats even if a handful are in the soil. The key is to apply the Hypoaspis miles before the gnats become established.

Biolive is overlooked I think too - such good production with it.

This current grow of mine (cannabis) I ran out of Magnesium right before peak flower and used a handful of Kelp; watered in that night with some worm casting tea I made and it is just now running thin. Absolutely love Kelp. Easy to go Kelp Krazy though

Can’t wait to see ur plants; Or your girlfriends whoever’s they are!

There are alot of good cheap dslr you cant go wrong either nikon or canon . But i cant tell you anymore since i didnt do photography in 3 years and only owned a canon 70D with good lenses and bad ones :,) but also got to use the Canon 5D mark 3 the camera im still in love with today . Good thing i got to know people that had good gear and that i can borrow stuff whenever i want. I will try to find some shots i did :). The only good advice i got from a photographer was dont cheap out on lenses .
 
I know its not plant or gardening related but here are two shots.
Canon 70D
Canon Flash 430EX (Second photo)
Canon Kit lens 18-135mm
Helios 44-2 58mm f2 Vintage lens <3
Reverse Ring to make close up pics with kit lens
SD Extreme pro Card

The first photo is created with a single shot and STOCK flash without reverse ring. Its called high speed photography and this is just timing if ur on a budget.

The second one is a dead wasp with her robotic like eyes. Used the Flash 430EX and made 6 different focus shots with the reverse ring and stitched them togheter in Photoshop.
WASP.jpeg

But mostly i love Black & white portraits :)
