What's up everybody! I'm not new to growing but I'm only a few months into my switch of growing organically.

Just wondering if anyone had ever used Jamaican bat guano in flower for green crack (or a sativa dominant strain), how often would you top dress? How long does each top dressing last/how long from top dressing until it is available to the plant?

I've read the guano guides and they're super informative but just hoping someone had some specific experience with GC or any sativa dominant hybrids. I want to give my girls enough phosphorus so they shine in flower but also don't want to overdo it!

I'm also running some comparison GC where I used bone meal instead of guano.

Before i put this here, #1 i am only trying to help #2 i am not dick van patten!


You can use queen size knee high nylon stockings for tea bags. 3 pair for a dollar at the dollar store. Tell 'em you use them for paint strainers. Put the recommended tea in the stocking, tie a loop knot in it and hang it in your tea bucket. The tea should look like a mud puddle. Agitate the bag in the water vigorously. An aquarium pump and air stone will dissolve oxygen into the solution and keep the good bacteria (microherd) alive and thriving. Let it bubble a day or two before you use it. If you find you are making too much tea and having tRECIPE #3 (My favorite)
If you want to use guano tea and kelp...
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That mak
Guano Tea and Kelp:

Seedlings less than 1 month old nute tea mix-
Mix 1 cup earthworm castings into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
Add 5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses.
Use it to water your seedlings with every 3rd watering.

Veg mix-
1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Use it to water with every 3rd watering.

Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
es the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:

Thanks for your info! I have a compost tea brewer set up. I'm trying to just do simple compost teas to inoculate the microherd and just do top dressing guano feedings. I just put together a soil mix of spaghnam peat, perlite, and locally sourced organic food compost amended with kelp meal, fish bone meal, Azomite, dolomite lime, and gypsum. Just transplanted into smart pots, top dressed with worm castings and Mexican guano. Going to switch to Indonesian and then Jamaican when appropriate. Anything else you think I should add? I've also got fulvex, humic acid, fish hydroslate, and liquid Kelp that'll I put in the tea when needed, also I use combos of them for foliar feeds.

I've also got some really good mushroom compost that's gets mossy on its own and really get my tea bubbling when I start doing fungal teas.
