a little about the room Veg is 7X6 with a Pioneer VIII 8 54watt t-5 tubes flower is 8X10 with 4 600 watt hortalux eye super hps 3 over main flower and 1 on a separate mover for just in case purposes and just cause i know you guys love pics here you go
germinating on a heat mat paper towel method seeds were scuffed in my homemade seed scuffer let sit in water til they sunk then placed in papertowel on heat mat seed that is germinated is Dina fem Diesel after only 20 hrs
alright all seeds were started on the 6th and are all germinated except 4 cherry haze and 1 strawberry cough placed in keg cups and set under the pioneer with only half the lights on(4X54watt)
5 gal bucket ($2.9
5 gal water
2 cups worm castings tied in cheese cloth
1/3 cup molassas
1/3 cup veg oil
Aquarium pump w/airator ($5.95)
Mix molassas with a little hot or warm water to mix well, fill rest of bucket with water, add veg oil.
Place pump/worm castings with airator in water, let ferment and pump run for 24 hours.
Sugar gets the little microbes going, the veg oil is supposed to cover the insects killing them.
I tried this recipe and couldnt believe the results, the plants love it, the oil gives them a great color.
Although the bugs havent arrived yet, I noticed it did not kill a Lady Bug who has been hanging around.
Unfortunatly this is supposed to kill all bugs, even good ones.
Bad thing is active microbes in mix only last 48 hours.
This is my first organic grow, Im using Mex bat guano 12-1-1
1/2 strengh once a month...question is how much should I apply as if I were watering the plant
or small amounts around stem.
If the plants are getting big, you can mix 1-3 tbsp per gallon of water. Obviously only use a tablespoon if the plants aren't super big. You should probably only use 3 tablespoons outdoors or if you have 3-4' plants you wish to veg longer.
The Peruvian seabird guano is my favorite, 10-10-2 and high pH to counter the other acid nutrients. For veg I use this in conjunction with a high N guano such as the Mexican, or for the first few weeks of bloom with a high P guano like the Indonesian or Jamaican.
During transplants, you can put down a couple inches of soil/mix on the bottom of your container and then sprinkle on a hefty helping of guano and/or other dry fertilizers, cover up with several more inches of your mix and transplant as usual. This way the roots will stretch into this nutrient-rich zone in due time with less risk of burn.
Thanks Nullis... some good advice, after some reading I became aware of why diet and conditions affect bat guano in different parts of the world, interesting.
My plants are just begining to veg so I am going to dilute even more, prb for first month. Less is more.
