Compost tea is the key!!
Buy a bubbler, a cheap one, and put organic things on water and let it bubble for 24h.
Banana skins are great!!
Without bubbles you may dry it and grind to put around 5cm top soil. Eggs on oven become Calcium carbonate, great too.
Any fruit skin is rich in nutrients, just dry and use.
Also, my favorite is beet, grind it and let on water, will become a strong purple water.
Bones on oven are great for phosphorous too.

Banana peals only contains about 78mg of potassium. vs the fruit around 480mg. vs a whole baked potato with skin on aorund 1000mg.
If you where to ferment them with lets says a bokashi system and then bury that into the medium it could be good. but it would not be readily available right away.
Green Sand is another option for a natural potassium source or some desalted seaweed extracts. Or just compost :D
Calcium is a bit easier, bone meals or soaking egg shells in a acid to let it dissolve, takes time but it works. The stronger the acid the faster its dissolved. sulphuric acid would work well if you have access to some. If not vinegar or phosphoric acid will do.
Good Luck!

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.
