Am I Color Blind? Please Help Me Figure This Out.

If I need nitrogen, what's a good source and how much should I add to an organic soil?
blood meal, but no use in buying nitrogen alone. most products already come with excess nitrogen.

get some pictures in sunlight or out from under the strong hids.

for p and k you can brew a tea with bananas. ive seen it work wonders during bloom. you dont really want too much nitrogen during bloom.

have you checked the ph of the runoff water recently?

piss in a bottle dilute it with water 1:15 ratio..

great source of free nitrogen!!. dont listen to bmeat

nitrogen is very necessary in bloom..

i didnt say you dont need nitrogen, i said "you dont really want too much nitrogen during bloom."

also, urine is a great source of nitrogen. urea is an organic compound. doesnt mean you have to use it.

"Urine contains large quantities of nitrogen (mostly as urea), as well as significant quantities of dissolved phosphates and potassium, the main macronutrients required by plants, with urine having plant macronutrient percentages (i.e. NPK) of approximately 11-1-2 by one study[SUP][18][/SUP] or 15-1-2 by another report,[SUP][19][/SUP] illustrating that exact composition varies with diet. Undiluted, it can chemically burn the roots of some plants, but it can be used safely as a source of complementary nitrogen in carbon-rich compost.[SUP][20][/SUP]
When diluted with water (at a 1:5 ratio for container-grown annual crops with fresh growing medium each season,[SUP][21][/SUP] or a 1:8 ratio for more general use[SUP][20][/SUP]), it can be applied directly to soil as a fertilizer. The fertilization effect of urine has been found to be comparable to that of commercial fertilizers with an equivalent NPK rating.[SUP][22][/SUP] Urine contains most (94% according to Wolgast[SUP][18][/SUP]) of the NPK nutrients excreted by the human body. Conversely, concentrations of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, commonly found in solid human waste, are much lower in urine (though not low enough to qualify for use in organic agriculture under current EU rules).[SUP][23][/SUP] The more general limitations to using urine as fertilizer then depend mainly on the potential for buildup of excess nitrogen (due to the high ratio of that macronutrient),[SUP][21][/SUP] and inorganic salts such as sodium chloride, which are also part of the wastes excreted by the renal system. The degree to which these factors impact the effectiveness depends on the term of use, salinity tolerance of the plant, soil composition, addition of other fertilizing compounds, and quantity of rainfall or other irrigation.

I posted a thread on the organics thread. Thanks again for the suggestions, all of them!
Good luck there man, sorry I didn't get back sooner, but I wouldn't have had any more info on organics for you anyway.
I've been having slow 'notifications' on most of my subbed threads the past week or so, don't know why.

I crack up every time I see your avatar! Thanks for checking back. I added some bone meal and already noticed the difference with the Nitrogen bump. Greening up nicely. The buds are filling in. Couldn't be happier with the results so far.

Thanks for the advice. Just can get over the idea of pissing on my plants. Rather let mexican bats crap all over them ;-)

your a moron
So you are ok with foliar during the flower stage? I've read on other threads it wasn't a problem but the plants were not near dealth or anything so I ended up feeding through the roots. Would be good to know that if I had an emergency deficiency that needed immediate correting I could apply on leaves.

Or do you just not like "bmeat"? He has a lot of enemies.

I moved the light up into the closet and raised the plant shelving. I'm so glad i added adjustable shelving in this grow closet. Raising the whole setup reduced my heat 6 degrees. Now I'm at a comfy 77. Must be the improved airflow from shorting the exhaust to the ceiling or just moving the light higher into the ceiling area? Bought a dehumidifier today on amazon. Noticed my humidity has been raising over last couple days from 40 to 50%. I needed the dehumidifier for the drying anyway. Also picked up a microscope. close ups are the AK47
