Question on Bat Guano.

an "improved" recipe of subcool's super soil calls for Bloom Bat Guano 0-5-0. I was able to only get 0-10-0 (Sunleaves' Jamaican Bat Guano). I lied, I had a choice of both Jamaican or Indonesian 0-7-0. Im questioning my purchase. Should i have gone with 0-7-0, or should i really use 0-5-0. I think Happy Frog carries a 050.
Thanks in advance

Also, I fond Humic Acid but in granulated form. is this ok? or should i really use powdered? What about rock phosphate 0-3-0? How does that usually come, the main hydro stores around me didnt carry it, nor did Hope Depot.

Found it on Amazon by Espoma.

This the same brand i bought my Dolomite Lime in. They are round pellets, the size of peppercorn or bibi gun pellets.
