Thanks mate.
I'm on track with what you listed. Will make the required adjustments and I will be right on that list.
Thank you.
Will use crustacean for crab shell. Have not seen crab shell flower anywhere, amazing given we have such coastlines. Make friends with a fisherman be the go.

Ok,
I have not used 4 cups of Azomite in the past.
I usually scrounge up some fine granite that is in he ground here.
I have mixed basalt and fed before.
Right now I have some azo and as much granite as I want.

Any truth to excessive rock minerals forcing autos to flower early?
I loaded a mix with granite and the borage planted went to flower faster.
My stuff is very heavy and dense so use I sparingly.
Some guys use lots of dust 6-7.
Personally I have been 1-3 purely on cost.

I can do a mix of both. 75% azo

Oyster shell flower is available, I don't have any but I do have shell grit.
I have a bone meal but don't use it as it draws the local wildlife. But won be as much as a problem in flower.

Thanks again

I have used a fair amount of Azomite in my mixes in the past and never noticed earlier flowering or heavier flowering.however i didnt use that much.say maybe 2 cups or so to the size of your mix. worked well,but no forced earlier flower results that I noticed.at this point its all about texture and aeration. essentially your growing prized tomatoes so prep the soil like that for texture and aeration and the squeeze test.After that you can add mostly what you want at 1/2 cup to roughly 1 rounded cup.the hotter the material the less needed usually.or offset with a little excess buffering.

Hi guys,
3 made it.
Just doing their thing, day 10\12ish on the bulk.

Have a trippy gorilla @day 33.
Tied down stem and leaf tucked about 12 hrs ago so looks like wasn't stunted.

Pistils but not flowering yet.
Breeder says don't stress and feed it heavy.

Soil is an 11 month aged neem\kelp\mbp mix.

Top dressed some kelp, seabird guano mbp maybe 2 weeks ago.
Put down some cover crop in last few days, buckwheat\clover\wheatgrass.

Looks like it could take more.
Any opinions? Only diary I could find on this was hydro hitting 3.2ec.
Unsure which way to go with topdress\tea, with regard to n and PK as it's got to be close to flowering

Cheers
