First of all, you have to start with the right guano. Fresh guano, will always have a very high N content. You are looking for a high P content. Wormsway & Ebay both carry high P bat guano. Put four tablespoons in a quart of water - bubble with a aquarium air pump for 24 hours. Turn off the pump - let settle for one hour. Now, some people suggest putting the guano in a nylon stocking, or similar mess bag of some sorts. Don't do it, you get more guano to water interaction when the guano is allowed to bubble all about. It gives you more of the good stuff. You just have to let it settle first; or pour it through a coffee filter. I prefer to let it settle, as I really don't like pouring bat guano on myself. Then put the left over sediments in your compost pile or barrel.

Right on,thanks for the info Ohsogreen!!! I was doing it the stocking way,Can I ask you another question? My clones have been outside now since the first of May,they are about 18 inches tall and all of a sudden they have switched from veg into flower!! The leaves are all pointing up and have anywhere from one to three blades on them,hardly any seven bladed leaves. My queston are these plants screwed,should I pull em'??? Thanks.......

A wise man told me, using the stocking, was like trying to get you girl pregnant, without first removing her panties... Makes sense to me.

It's a weed, pretty hard to kill and known to make acceptable come backs, even when tortured with neglect or kindness. Now, on to the problem here. Sounds like one of three things has happened.
Root mass is too small (over watered / over fertilizered / planted clone to soon) possibly killing them with too much attention & or kindness. If, overwatered (are you waiting till the leaves droop alittle before watering ? If, you are watering daily or several times a week - the roots are not getting enough oxygen (they are drowning - space out watering intervals). If not overwatering, but over fertilizing ( the more is better syndrome) - toxic levels of fertilizers have built up & will stunt growth (apply worm castings tea mixed with sub-culture mychorrizal fugi (Wormsway) or Organic Plant Tonic (Ebay - made by Blue Mtn. Oranics) - apply once - leave alone for one week - then water lightly without any fertilizer for two weeks). Planted too soon - same as overfertilized solution.
Bugs attacking your roots (fungas gnats, termites, pill bugs..etc..) You should see some of them moving about. To make sure, pour plain water on the soil surface to see if something wiggles out. Worms are good, everything else is bad - apply neem oil or pyrthium (Walmart has both) at twice the recommended dose - pour around the base of the plant, onto the soil, out to about six inches away from the plant), wait one week - repeat, but at recommended dose. It kills most & sends the others running.
Deficient in magnesium, If this is the problem, the leaf tips will be brown or burnt looking & curled up (mix two tablespoons of epsom salt (Walmart - medicine isle) in a gallon of unchloronated water, aggiate well & water plants). If not brown or burnt looking - Describe greeness of leaves - presence of brown spots or yellowing & I will advise further.

To stall or shut down flowering, during recovery period - buy Superthrive (Walmart) or Organic Plant Tonic (Ebay) - mix at four times the recommended dose - water twice, like this, 4 days apart. Both will slow down, or stop the flowering - 9 out of 10 times. Plus boost health of your plants roots. Allowing them to put on some, leaves to feed the buds.

I always say, it's not over till it's over. I am always willing to accept some over none. I would not pull them unless the Grim Reaper was buzzing around them.

I went to my hydro store and bought "budswell" by the guano company. It is 0-7-0 and it says to use two or three tablespoons per gallon of water. It is made of eartheworm castings, bat and seabird guano. I bought a pound of this for 18 dollars.

WOW,thank you sooo much ohsogreen for taking the time to answer my question in such detail AWESOME!!! I think the problem with my NYCDs is that they were planted too early,they are ALL freaked out looking. These plants are about four feet tall and SUPER bushy not tall and stretched out like I've heard they should be. They are totally budding too,though spread out and not clustering.The trichs are already turning amber?? My others are Granddaddy purps and Grape Apes,they were planted around the first of June and seem to be doing great. I feed them every other watering with Maxsea 16-16-16 half strength with a quarter tbs. of epsom salt per gallon,their only problem is some of the leaves have small yellow freckles. Again thanks ohsogreen,I've learned more from your response than I did from reading the whole Cervante's Grow Bible!!!

Mendojuana.. glad I could help. The yellow freckles - if they are on the lowest leaves are not out of the norm. during flowering. Different strains strip away the nitrogen from the lower leaves in different ways. Some are green one day & completely yellow the next. Some freckle up, others pull it from the tips back to the stem. Just part of the flowering cycle. However, if the yellowing spots are between darker, mega green veins - your in need of a little magnesium. Sometimes the seaweed extracts tilt the auxin levels out of the normal range and cause yellow freckles (magnesium lockout) on really green leaves. To reverse, stop the seaweed. Use unchlorinated water with only 1/2 tablespoon of epsom salt to a gallon of water. Once, any of the lower leaves are over 50 percent yellow, I snip them off. As, they attract pests, aren't really making energy for the plant anymore and make seeing your plants a little easier - to rippers, cops & other two legged pests.

Again,much thanks OSG!!! As long as your allowing me to pick your brain,I have one more question? I read in the Grow Bible that from the time a clone is taken from the mother plant til full maturity is 90 days. What I dont understand is if I have a Sativa(New York City Diesel) how does this work since I've read they can take four months or longer just to finish??? Once again,I appreciate your help!!! Mendo..........
