help with nuts n ferts

ok i dont get paid in two weeks and im dead broke. my plants are in need of some food big time. a month old and my cola is looking very small. only like 6 hairs. i need to give my plant some food. what can i use that has little to no cost that will be helpful to my plants. i am just now adding molasses.

Hey J, One thing you can do is to feed it either some blackstrap mollasses or even karo syrup in a pinch. The simple sugars in it along with micros give it a boost. I feed mine molasses with every watering at teh rate of 1-2 tbsp per (2 during veg 1 dureing flower) also if you know anyone with horses or rabits get some of thier alfalfa pellets crush and add to water to make a tea. You can search the forum here for exact recipies for this. Other things you may have around the house is potato peels or cucumber peels.. Run em through a food processor dilute with water.. bunches of nutes in em.. I can email you a whole list that I ran across if you would like it. Hope this helps.

can i use the molasses for folar feed to?

ok so heres the plan i came up with for nuts. im going to add molasses to my water and let some potatoe peels and cucmber peels sit in the water for a couple days to get the nutes out. is this a good idea???

Here mate sounds a bit extreme too bee honest if your that skint dont do it or save 10$ get yourself some cheap nutes from any wholesale or garden centre

I've never foliar fed molassess I dont think it would be a good idea just because of the stomata opening and closing though I couldnt say for sure...

Here is a partial list.., for more you can do a search on composting values of food waste...,

Tea grounds (NPK 4,15-0,62-0,4)
Worm Meal (dried & ground worms) NPK 10-1-1
Greens, leaves & meals, alfalfa, stinging nettle

High P:
Bone Meal generic NPK 4-21-0,2
* steamed NPK 13-15-13
* burned NPK 0-34,7-0
Shrimp Waste NPK 2,87-9,95-0
Tea Leaves ash NPK 0-1,66-0,4

High Calcium:
Poultry manure (0,5-0,7% dry), dolomite lime, egg shells, bone meal
Note that its usually thought that worm castings is high in calcium (perhaps with the presumption that lime or eggshells are added during the process).

High Iron:
Stinging nettle (Also high N)

High Magnesium:
Dolomite lime, poultry manure, epsom salts

The peels I would run throgh a food processor first or at least chop them finely also they should actually soak for 5-7 days stirring daily before using the water off the top. Bear in mind the growth stages and the requirements needed for each although if not needed they are just wasted. However, nutrients not used by the plant or leached through (in other words wasted ) will stack cumlatively and could end up with a condition causing nute burn. Organics arent as easy as one may think. If I were you I would research organic growing a bit in this forum as well. Keep us posted and good luck.

get a 20 litre pail fill it half full of hot water throw egg shells, potato skins anything green stir it up crush it up strain it and then water it back you should be good to go ) or if you got liquid honey mix it in water an feed her
keep in mind with 20 litre pail thingy that your ppm will go crazy longer it ferments in one week my ppm was over 2000 i even used leafs from my plants in there
bannana peels, oranges , apples dice it up good an you will have a better fert system then goin out an buying ferts good luck tho
ands its all natural

PS: if you do it that way invest in a EC meter
