im using the Alaska 0-10-10 with pretty good results so far.......since it isnt 100 percent organic due to the Phosphoric acid it can kill some of the beneficial microbes in your soil, but those little buggers bounce back pretty quick, so what i do is add some worm castings to the top layer of my soil after use to add some of those good microbes back to the soil that may have been lost...and used along with molasses water between feedings has turned out pretty good so far.....just make sure you flush a good 10 days before harvest!! Roots are always white and healthy, buds are always fat and tasty.
i think the worm castings also help to balance out ph in soil....
[FONT="]How Worm Castings work with Soil pH[/FONT]
[FONT="]Worm Castings act like a buffer for plants. Where soil pH levels are too high or low, Worm Castings make soil nutrients available again to the plant. Compared to the soil itself, Worm Castings are much higher in bacteria, organic material and available nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium.[/FONT]

Do you adjust watrr ph before you add the 0-10-10?

Get ready for the jokes. But seriously it will lower pH some since it's got phosphoric acid. But I'd just add it to your water and see what it tests at. Organic soil will buffer itself for the most part. But I wouldn't want to give it if the pH is crazy low.

I put the regular alaska fish on after h2o ph'd. Lowers ph considerably, being organic I've had no problems with it. I do wonder what % of the total, the phosphoric acid lowers it, other than that, should be same as other organic? I just fed one plant with it, ph at 5. (Yikes) good test to see what happens until next water, if it goes ok.

5 isn't horrible for organics so I wouldn't worry much. But personally I wouldn't want it any lower at all, but that's just me.

I have used the other Alaska; fish stew, for spent females I want to reveg and clone. I might give a shot halfway into flower, if I'm too lazy to make tea.

Personally I wouldn't use it since I don't really consider it very organic. And I've heard it's high in heavy metals. I might use it on outside soil, but wouldn't mess with it indoors in pots. That's just me though.

I tried it once and it was on an auto. Seemed to stunt her at 2/3 strength in 4th week (about) of flowering. It took tap water in high 8's PH down to low 4's.
I love alska fish 5-1-1, but this stuff I do not.
All i got for ya.

I saw your comment and got curious so I checked at https://apps1.cdfa.ca.gov/fertilizerproducts/. The Alaska 5-1-1 has 5.64 ppm arsenic and 1.52 ppm cadmium. That is pretty much average, much lower than many popular brands....but the interesting thing is the MorBloom 0-8-8 is BDL (below detectable limits) for Arsenic, Cadmium, and Lead, which is VERY good, and quite unusual. Very few products test BDL for those, it's one of the reasons I use Maxibloom.
For anyone interested in Alaska, I'd instead use Neptune's secret instead of the 5-1-1 but I would definitely use the Alaska MorBloom 0-8-8. I used to use it outdoors but it has a ton of phosphoric acid in it as a preservative as well as a source of phosphorus, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have highly alkaline water. For people with high ppm tap water that's highly alkaline, the MorBloom takes the PH right down to where you need it. If you have ph neutral, acidic, or RO water, I'd skip it. The most interesting thing about this is that the Alaska brand is paying a premium for Phosphoric acid that tests BDL for heavy metals, I hope more companies continue in this direction.

This was one of those things I used to get dirt cheap at home depot and garden centers. They always went on clearance because people are so sensitive about fish odors lol...now that I'm forced to buy everything online, I miss those discount days.Ya. I heard that. I need to put that on my shopping list,

Not to step on toes or pick fights;
Neptune's Harvest is the brand of Fish Hydrolysate.
Cool info about the Morbloom 0-8-8 being "good."

Both are good.. i was using earlier this year and yes both are organic.. ive used them in the past with good results.. i only got a quart bottle of morbloom so it went fast but i see a noticable change in the plants after using it.. i have changed to NPK's RAW bloom.. its alot better imo..
Back in the gorilla days i used the alaska fish emulsion in one patch and fucking racoons and skunks dug around the plants fucking them up..lol..
