Anyone use Bat Guano with Adv. N. Iguana Juice?

**Relaxed** · 03-31-2009, 06:07 AM

Currently using Adv. N. Iguana Juice grow for veg. I have what appears to be Nitrogen def. Is it overkill to ad some Mexican bat guano or Peruvian seabird guano to help a little?

Ive used bat guano in the past with good results but often what looks like a def can be ph related. Have you checked your soil ph? I find 6.5 works well for me.

Ph could be part of the issue. I have been using one of the color ph code drops method not a digital meter. I am staying in the yellow 6-7 ph but it's not that accurate I don't think? I am looking into a digital Hanna ph / ppm meter now. Maybe that could fix my plants?

could be, have you tested the run off from the bottom of the pot when you water?
I reckon fish emulsion is pretty good as a fertilizer maybe try that if your ph is in order. You can find it at most garden centers.

can u make a foiliar spray? I would also bet that the ph was a problem too. If you have been feeding all that store bought nute then it would prob have everything.

A floiar spray is fact acting. ALos a nice topdress is cool. Like a tbs. Also fix the ph.

Bat guano as a filiar spray is awesome. It also acts as a fungisite and inscticide I have read.

If you are a home gardener, make a liquid tea for foliar spray using ¼ cup of guano to 2 gallons of water. Adding Citric Acid to keep the pH between 6 and 7 will keep more of the phosphorous and calcium in solution. Do keep the mixture in an open container, as the citric acid will cause gases to form. Let it sit for several hours before applying. Again, any sludge can be directly applied to the soil around plants.
