I'm using Earth Juice organic nutes. They have bat and seagull guano, among other ingredients. I assume that's what makes it stink. Do all organic nutes smell bad?
Metanaturals doesn't have a bad smell at all. Some quano's and manures can smell but using premixed ferts usually isn't as smelly.
I was under the impression that Earth Juice nutes are premixed. It's several ingredients (including guano) mixed together in a bottle. Either way, it smells like shit (literally). I think I'll try a different brand for that reason alone.
I read that if one bubbles their mix with a air pump and stone it will help. The bad smell is from anaerobic organisims http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic Adding air can kill them and add helpful aerobic ones.
the bio-bizz grow i use during veg is plain nasty and it does stink man but the flowering nutes dont smell bad.... probably cos the pungent smell/aroma of MJ plants hides it
Ill put it this way my meta's smell bad in the bottle but it's not overpowering since it doesn't incorporate fish emulsion... Once the Meta's are mixed up in water and bubbled, there is no detectable odor even right up to the gallon jug... you fella's should try metanaturals.. all the benefits of organics with minimal almost non detectable smell once mixed.... also 100% organic and OMRI listed.. all the chelating ingredients are natural too.. hell their organic calcium used venegar as the chelating agent.. anyways I would much rather deal with a little smell than smoke radioactive plants.
That was the problem. I didn't have an airpump in the resevoir, so the water became stagnant. I added an airstone and don't have the problem anymore. Even though there is still a smell of bat shit, it isn't overpowering.
Some! Some do, like My "BIO-GROW"(GROW NUTES!!!) ONLY smell bad and there are all ORGANIC that i use to anhance my plants!!! (smells like rotton EGGS man!)...lol....truth....loll Peace Out, UrBigBuddie..........:sign13: :qbluewacko:
i have used blood and bone meal on my outdoor grow and occasionaly i made tea i didnt notice the bad smell in the spring but over the summer where it got hot it will smell but if you are growing outside you have to be carefull because animals will dig your plant up
Ive used so many organic nutrients like Age Old Organics,Metanaturals,Bio Bizz Products,Pure Blend Pro and Fox Farms and there all good nutrients.
