Guano Tea Recipes For Flowering?

VirginHarvester said:

So this high phos quano I have is "bio available" immediately?

Can it be the primary source of phosphorus in flowering using it with water and some other nutes? I have organic potassium and was thinking the last month of flowering I might only need guano, potassium, and molasses.

Thanks.

Yes.. it can be the primary source of P in your flowering phase. If your Guano is say 0-7-0, that means 7% of the P is available immediately - it actually has another 10-15 %, on average, that will break down slowly over time.
.
Unsulphured Molasses can be mixed in with Bat or Seabird Guano & Unchlorinated Water. With this mix, you need at least two days of bubbling with a cheap aquarium air pump & air stone. Or four days of pouring it back & forth from bucket to bucket.
.
One ounce of molasses to a gallon of water provides a NPK of 5-1-3 on average. It varies a point, higher or lower, depending on the molasses.
.
Just mix your first batch on the low side. After it is ready, feed your girls.
Next week - just give them chlorine free water only.
.
This prevents P overload/shock. Which locks up nutes, when your girls need them most. The P that that was not immediately available will seep in to the root zone, slow & smooth - as the little micro-beasties eat it & poop it out (bioconversion). The micro-beaties make it soluble.
.
Avoid the more is better thing. In nature, no one is pouring 9-50-30 NPK nutes in the soil & things grow just fine.

Hope this helps....Type at you later....

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!!!

Buy his new book, the Cannabis Encyclopedia, worth every penny.

This is what I use Flower tea (4 cups Flowering soil compost, 1-0-0, jamaican bat guano 0-10-0, 2 Tbsp Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses, 1 cap seaweed extract 0-0-1, 1 cap fish emulsion 5-1-1, tsp humic acid, tsp fulvic acid, 4+ gallons water)

Has anybody had any luck with seabird guano? I hear really good things for flowering

I use seabird guano I guess because it was cheap at my local hydro store- pd like $8 & it has lasted several month...still barely made a dent in the bag. Anyways here's my hi P hi N flowering tea recipe:
Start with a couple gallons of good clean water: I prefer rainwater for my teas but any non chlorinated h2o will do. I add an airstone and a fish tank heater to an 18gal Rubbermaid tub bin & while that's bubbling I add:

Couple handfuls of fresh earth worm castings
2 tbsp of 11-12-6 seabird guano
1/2 cup of big bloom
2 tsp of molasses (alt can also use maple syrup)
Pinch or 2 of kelp meal (optional)
2 tsp organic cal mag (optional)

Bubble for 24 hours+ after it gets all nice & foamy the microbes are activated & tea is ready. I usually strain it with a wire strainer & then dilute the mixture by about 50% before I feed it to the plants. Always makes them very happy!
