Fish Emusion

[pegz]

I bought some Coles brand the other day, the N-P-K is 9-2-6, cost around $4 for 500ml. It's smells pretty bad, which is one reason against using it indoors but also I'm a little concerned about mold after noticing the top-soil in some of my pots is rather green looking, note that I haven't actually seen anything furry yet.

 

But yeah the plants seem to like it. Anyone have much experience using fish emulsion by itself or with other ferts?

Yates Fish Emulsion gets the thumbs up as an additive from me. It doesnt really stink too bad when it is diluted with your nutrient feed.

There's an Aussie product about called VitaRich, I don't see it very often, but I've made a habit of grabbing a bottle whenever I do. High in N and K, perfect for early veg:-) made by a company called Attunga. Good for tomatoes too!

The green is more likely an algae rather than a fungus... soil surfaces that are damp and shaded will grow algae pretty quickly.

 

When I first started growing in containers rather than open ground I used fish emulsion and seaweed extract exclusively. I doubt the smell will be an issue if you have a carbon filter... I used to refer to the aroma as 'Scents of the Sea' aka dead fish and rotting seaweed.

"Scents of the Sea" love it lou.

 

If it smells bad then it must be good. . Just like medicine, as a kid. If it tastes bad it must work. My gran used to say that.

Been using it for a while now, no mold issues or anything else. It's good shit for $4.50, might up the dose sometime and do a whole grow on it with some Powerfeed and minimal other additives.
