I am new to using organic tea and calculating the N-P-K value of organic tea is a mystery. Some of the NPK is not immediately available. They should come out with a secondary time release NPK value or something.

here is the recipe that i used last

-2 gallons melted snow
-2 teaspoons bat guano 0-7-0

try 2 tabsp of bat guano and 2 tbsp of SPT, also 1 tbsp of molasses per gallon. Worm castings sounds fine. Feed a quart a gallon of soil.

Do you think that would work better? I'm trying to learn the method for calculating the NPK value of organic tea.

I am shooting for a target NPK of 2-8-5 for Bloom. If i change to your formula I still don't know what i have.

A few values I have seen for different types of animal shits I didn't write the sources down:

Rabbit 2-1-.5 1 cup per gallon water
molasses .5-1-3 1 ounce per gallon water
deer 1.8-1.4-1.1
alfalfa pellets 3-1-2


some other elements I would like to learn about and test.

horse
chicken
cow
greensand
Azomite trace minerals
Epson Salts
Kelp

any item that can be used to control ph levels...to balance the formula?

well for bat guano it says on the bag if you want to get the NPK on the bag add a tbsp a gallon. IDK for the rest. I bet it is like a few cups a gallon.

Do you just take and add the values together. That is what i was figuring?

So my mixture would be:
Bat 0-7-0
Worm 1-0-0
Molasses .5-1-3
SPT ?-?-?
----------
Total NPK 1.5-8-3

Your right...i must have wrote tsp instead of tbs on the recipe i made for tea. I am gonna fix that next time i water. I was going to wait a week to feed. I think i am going to feed two weeks in a row.

Here a couple more NPK values for some other tea ingredients.

Add each of these at the rate of one cup, per gallon of unchlorinated water - unless noted otherwise.

Source N P K

Rabbit manure 2.4-1.4-.6
Cow manure (dairy) .6-.2-.5 Both cow manures (3) cups per gallon.
Steer manure (beef) .7-.3-.4
Chicken manure 1.1-.8-.5
Horse manure .7-.3-.6
Duck manure .6-1.4-.5
Sheep manure .7-.3-.9
Worm castings 1.0-.0-.0 (4) tablespoons per gallon
.
I located this information in this thread..

Making Tea - is EZ.... & Cheap !

I think I will use this recipe next:
2 gallons rain water
2 TBS Bat Guano (p)
8 TBS Castings
1 TBS Molasses
1 TBS SPT

I belive that will put me at an NPK of 1.5-8-3

Nope, you still need at least 1 tbsp a gallon of molasses. That is to feed that microherd you are brewing. I would also use 2 tbsp of spt. 1 tbsp a gallon. If you dont get enough molasses in there then you will have bacteria trying to eat your fert N.

I would use large air bubbles and shoot for 18-24 hours of bubbling. No airstone as the small bubbles decapitate the bacteria like a scythe.

Thanks for the post....I'm using airstones now....I'll have to fix that...

I went light because these are my first couple batches and its important my first crop dosen't hit the dust. Even if its not my best...I need to make sure to secure some medicine

I have a batch i just started...im gonna go add another TBS of molasses real quick.
