Stink water 2.0

Not gonna lie, I'll probably repost this in a busier subforum. 

 

But here we go. I bought more Alaska fish emulsion, some humic acid/liquid seaweed, chelated iron, and Bonide systemic insecticide. 

 

Am I stupid or is this a good mix? Did I spend too much money? Will this be the anabolic steroid I'm hoping for?

Are you going to toss this whole concoction on your palms at one time? I would use them in separate treatments over time. Fish emulsion/seaweed extract are good “natural” fertilizers. Chelated iron has its ameliorative place if you believe your plants are iron deficient but don’t expect it to work miracles nutrition wise. Use insecticide if you have bugs and it targets them. Don’t overuse or you court resistance. Insecticides don’t work on mites.

Did you spend too much? Not for me to say.

I was going to use half doses of the seaweed/humic blend and the fish juice every other watering and the Bonide if needed. I've done well with fish emulsion and SuperThrive together.

I like the Fish Emulsion on especially the younger palms. I also use Cytoplus which is a good source of micro nutrients. I use both about twice a month.

We're experimenting. I mixed up 1g of my normal fish/SuperThrive and 1g of fish/seaweed and humic. The ones that got the humic and seaweed don't look the best so we'll see if it perks them up.

I hope it works because good lord. 24 hours later it reeks. There is no way I could use this indoors.

I must have missed stink 1.0

Are you trying to make a super growth serum?

Stink Original © is just diluted fish emulsion and a drop of SuperThrive. I dunno about a growth serum but I would like to green them all back up since it's been so hot and dry this summer. Growth serum would be nice until winter when I have to drag them all inside though
