That's what I use. "Porcine blood" as specified on the bag.
I'll give that a shot, man.
switching to Top Dressing in flower from non-organic nutrients, how do i do so?

Topping causes focus of side branching instead of vertical growth, which I think the plant finds easier and does more rapidly.

I mean, yeah, kind of, but don't go crazy with the nutes.

And chemicals in chem nutes, if I'm not mistaken, can kill microbes that eat your top dress and shit your plant food in the soil.

I think sticking with top dressing in new, organic soil might do better if you're set on finishing out with organics. But if you're in flower, unless you're early into it, I'd finish it chemically and try again. If you want to nute and top dress organically, try the Nature's Care line I suggested, and use compost teas as needed, but remember you can always increase nutes if it's malnourished, but if you totally burn your plant out, you're screwed. Be easy and patient about nutes/ferts.
Okay thank you for your input! i think I'm going to just stick to with chem nutes and use organic soil next grow! Just all of my Fan leaves' stems are red and they seem weak by the amount they droop. but none of the stem or other colas are red. But on one of my clones has a red stem by the botttom. idk what the hell to do. I tried adding some P but it hasnt seemed to do anything.

That picture is old and it's gotten worse since then.

That red stem, if it isn't genetics, sounds like some kind of nute deficiency or toxicity I've heard of. Phosphorus deficiency, maybe? You are over-nuting it with nitrogen, though, too, I think.

Definitely. Higher P and K are needed for flowering and N for Veg. The red in this plant (mine) is genetics. If it's like, hot red or deep red, not purple, and it climbs the veins of the leaves, it's Phosphorus.

It wasn't you who had N toxicity, it was someone else I was thinking of, but yet, they need a different nute arrangement for flower.
