Could someone give me some feedback on these organic nutrients as im thinking of buying some.



TAMAR MAGIC New high quality natural fertiliser to replace blood, fish and bone. Contains no animal by products or manures, good potash content for potatoes and fruiting plants like tomatoes. NPK 5:1:10, apply 50 - 100 g per sq. metre.

CALCIFIED SEAWEED. Excellent source of trace elements, including Magnesium, which lasts up to 3 years in the soil. Not as immediately neutralising as lime so does not entirely replace it, but will maintain your optimum pH long after Lime has been washed away. Apply 50-100g/sq metre.

LIQUID COMFREY Regarded by many as the ultimate plant food, comfrey concentrate is high in potassium as well as nitrogen and is therefore a first class tomato feed.

WILD MAGIC Bio dynamic liquid plant feed from an organic farming cooperative in Cornwall. Made from nettles, comfrey and seaweed it is high in potassium so good for flowers and fruiting vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and aubergines. Dilute the concentrated liquid 40:1 with water for root feeding and 100:1 for foliar feeding.

Someone must have some knowlege of these products and if i could use on MJ???????????

i`m 100% sure all could be used to grow healthy canna plants

whether or not you can balance the npk ratios properly using feeds not designed for our favoured weeds is a different matter tho buddy, tho again i`m sure it`s not impossible by any means.... experimenting is the key

The liquid comfrey should be good for canna I think. If food is said to be good for toms then it is fairly close to meeting the needs for cannabis.

As for the specific products you mention, I have no experience of them so am not sure.

Sorry I can't be more helpful than that

Nice one for your replies regards these product.

I use all biobizz at the moment bought from Toggs of course!
Just wanted to add and try new things if you know what i mean.

I can't comment on the rest of the stuff you mention as I've never used them, but I use Maxicrop flower fertiliser all the time now.

I used to use the bio-bizz range of ferts until I spotted this in a garden centre and thought I'd give it a go.

I'm glad I did......it works great! I feed it with every watering all the way through the grow with excellent results.

It's a lot cheaper as well......I usually flower 3-4 plants at a time, and a 500ml bottle costing £3.75 is enough for 2 grows!

BTW......it's not strictly organic, and it's NPK ratio is 5:5:5

post edited - misread Maxicrop as Miracle gro!
Sorry, Maxicrop is from a very good english company - I don't think the feed is organic ,the seaweed extract certainly is - but a very good range of products..........

error edited by Vlad..........


I used maxicrop loads and never had any problems with it ever

its also certified as organic

Yes, I'm sure that Maxicrop 'Original' is organic......not sure about the flower fertiliser tho

TAMAR MAGIC no good as a base as it is low in P. Organic??

CALCIFIED SEAWEED excellent additive for both ph correction in soil/compost as well as containing many micro/macros. Organic? Yes!

LIQUID COMFREY waste of time unless you make it yourself, would cost a fortune if bought as a concentrate. Organic? Yes, but only if derived from organically grown comfrey. I was given some of this to try from Tamar, at a fiver for a half litre at a ten to one dilution it costs £5 to make 5 litres of feed

WILD MAGIC, was given some of this to try, could not find it did a thing! Again its easy to make your own. Organic???

Maxicrop Plus Flower Fertiliser
Provides all the benefits of seaweed extract with a balanced NPK feed (5.1:4.9:6.9) to boost root development and flower quality. This is a chemical fertiliser, not remotely organic.

New Horizon Organic Tomato And Vegetable fertiliser. Its organic! But as a dry slow relese fertiliser no good fot pot growing. It would be good as a one off top dressing mid July for outdoor plants at 3 to 4 ounces per sq yard.

Thanks for the info guys, i think i will try the maxicrop.

Making liquid comfrey yourself is also a doddle. It grows like no ones business. I 've a got hold of a 50 Litre barrell with a tap on the bottom, a bit like a home brew barrell for beer. Cut the top off and fill full of fresh comfrey leaves right to the top and squash them in as hard as you can. Put a heavy concrete block on top of the leaves and put the top back on. Keep the tap in the open position and put a bottle under it, one of those big 4 litre spring water bottles, the brown liquid that comes out is comfrey juice.

It's a bit hit and miss regrading strength, but I dilute to 1:10 and use it as a general tonic, once a week throughout, keeps em green! Keep the juice in a dark colol place it goes off quickly , a couple of months at best.

You can find patches of comfrey growing wild, it propergates through it's roots and spreads quickly, if you buy some to grow either plant it in an isolated bed or get the variety bostok 10 (I think) this does not spread through the roots. Don't put the roots on your compost heap, I did about five years ago and have got comfrey all over the place now, a great plant in the right location, a menace in the wrong one.
