Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NPK ratio of Wholly Mackerel 3-1-0?

It carries a 3-1-0 ratio, which makes it a nitrogen-forward liquid nutrient rather than a balanced or bloom-leaning formula. That ratio is suited to vegetative and early growth stages.

Where does the nutrient in Wholly Mackerel come from?

It's derived from fish, which is why FoxFarm markets it under the Bush Doctor line alongside its other organic-derived supplements. That sourcing is also what supports its CDFA Organic Input Material registration.

Is Wholly Mackerel certified for organic use?

Yes, it's a Registered CDFA Organic Input Material, which means it's been reviewed against California's organic input standards. Growers running certified organic programs can use it without stepping outside those standards.

When in a grow cycle should I use Wholly Mackerel 3-1-0?

It's suited to vegetative and early growth stages, when a nitrogen-forward, immediately available nutrient source is most useful. Consult the FoxFarm feeding schedule for exact rates at each stage.
