Well, what kind of fertilizer are you looking for?  Teas?  Soil Additives?  This is a broad subject man.  A little more detail from you would be awesome.

Earthworm castings and Bat Guano.  It's all you really need.  Soak x amount in x amount of water with an air pump running into it for x amount of time.

I just use it as a boost during flowering, but you can definitely adjust amounts to make it useful throughout the life cycle of your plants.

I keep this recipe handy as it's a good all-purpose fertilizer tea.  I picked it up from Skunk magazine a long time back, and I've used it ever since:
Quote:


Per gallon of tea...

Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of high N bird or bat guano and 1 tablespoon of molasses, and bubble for 24hrs.

Then add,

about 1 cup of earthworm castings or fresh compost
1 tablespoon of all purpose dry like 5-5-5 Peace of Mind by Fox farm for one example
1 tablespoon of kelp meal
1 teaspoon of dry soluble seaweed or 1 tablespoon of liquid seaweed/kelp
1 or 2 teaspoons of organic fishy ferts liquid
1 tablespoon of Fox Farm Big Bloom
1 tablespoon additional molasses

Bubble this for an additional 24-36 hrs before use. make sure and stir the tea between watering each plant with it too. The primo organic matter will tend to settle within a minute

Also wanted to add here, that you may even want to add everything in stage two, and let it bubble for a couple of hours, and then add the earthworm castings. This way the tea has somewhat stabilized in pH and species and seems to always work better for me.

That seems like it would be pretty hot.

That's what makes it great; there's no EDTA or other chelating agents present beyond the molasses, so it's a self-buffering tea in terms of bioavailability.  The only trick is that it can bottom out your pH if you bubble the castings for a long period of time (I've made that mistake, and let me tell you as someone that doesn't use a pH meter, I was stumped as to what the problem with my plants was).
