So i was jus wondering if anyone has used Hydrolized fish fertalizer.

Now this is NOT fish emulsion. Hydrolized means it was cold processed, witch apparently leaves all trace elements in tact.

Fish emulsion is heat processed and they say it loses some minerals and nutrients.

Basically if you ever used it i was hoping somone could give me some feed back.

The value is 2-2-2 but iv heard nothing but good things. And would this be a optimal feed for flowering?
Any feed back is greatly appreciated!!! :leaf:

ive used neptunes harvest and it seems to lack in veg. ive used it in flower with roots HPK with good results and also use it in my compost teas. imo, the emulsion with seaweed is way better for veg.

It's great stuff in that it works, but don't rely on it long term. Fish is heavy in metals to begin with and your not exactly getting premium processed fish. Its all the stuff that isn't fit for human, pet, or livestock consumption.

Not much good going organic if your plants are still full of heavy metals :)

This is why I've decided to go with insect frass as a substitute...endless applications,veganic, and full of microbe dankness!!

1) "Hydrolyzed" just means that the proteins and other long-chain molecules have been broken down by using water as a reactant, however the hydrolysis was effected or cayalyzed.
2) Heat cannot destroy or alter the mineral content.

I don't think there will be an advantage of one over the other that isn't covered by NPK amounts. cn

Thats not what i have read... i can see heat making or altering a mineral into a state that cannot be uptaken by the plant.

Sounds like Thai cooking, lol ... but it should work well. The smell might be a bit sinus-clearing once the fermentation really kicks in. cn

ORGANIC METHOD: Hydrolyzed Fish Fertilizer. This product is an excellent source of N-P-K (nitrogen, phosphorous, pottasium) and contains trace minerals. Hydrolized means that it has been cold processed, which is very important.

Fish emulsion is heat processed, meaning that a lot of the nutrients and amino acids are totally destroyed during processing, leaving you with a product that has little nutritional value and a smell that is memorable.

I'm not arguing to be a jerk ... but I do think you can rest assured that minerals and ions, which is what the plant recognizes as nutrients, are unaffected by even pressure-cooker conditions. i think most fish fert is prepared that way. A cold process would be more sparing of mid-to-large-sized molecules, which are quite uninteresting to the plant. Those molecules will decompose in soil, and if they contain any nutrient value, it'll be released in ionic form. I'm calling scam on the cold process ... it exploits our desire to work closer to nature while not really doing so. cn
