i just sprinkle it on the soil. Soma of Soma seeds recommends useing budswell (the guano company), a mix of bat and seabird guano, and wormcastings and other organic material in a liquid or dry form. i've never used it, i just use plain guano along with biobloom

Alright I might have to give it a try :D

my store carries a brand called Guanokalong. They have it in several forms.

You can use the guano as a top feed or in a tea. From what what it looks like your using a mixture of soil that has a light fert regiment. So you plan on doing most of your feeding with what you have. Me personally i find it a lot easier to mix your own soil with the natural guano's and necessary elements in it already so there is virtually no fertilizing needed at all. Say you do a small SCROG in 3 gallon pots. Well from seedling to a few inches tall their in a cup.. Then your first transplant into a one gallon soil container for the veg cycle. Personally i like ROOTS ORGANIC soil. Drains awsome and has all high quality manures for nutes as well as worm casting and dolomite lime to help with ph. One gallon of soil should be plenty for 3-4 weeks of veg. Then transfer to 3 gallons for flower. Of course mix about a 65-75 percent strength ratio of phosphorus in. ( You dont want too much as th the plant arent fully adjusted to flowering and this much P ould cause a severe burn and stunt growth) Those 3 gallons should get you through till about week 5 of flowering maybe even 6. So the last week or two you will need to brew yourself an organic tea to finish the cycle. However if your plants are anythign like the HOG strain which sucks down nutes like an irish sailor on christmas leave. Then a 100% strent of P should be fine. You might even want to pick a plant of two and make a slightly low dose fert tea and use it along with the nutes. Say your soil together gives you an N-P-K ratio of 15-34-23 for flowering (10-30-20 is ideal but hard to obtain). Well make a light tea that could bumb a plant up to 18-39-25 and produce a little more. Ive had a friend of mine start with a strain he was unfamiliar with and alwasy select two to play with so far as beefing them up. Well first grow he grew 25 plants. Out of the two he played with they were 2-3.5 grams heavier than the rest. So second time around he did the whole crop as his former experimental two. So now all his plants were 2-3.5 grams heavier and turns out his second (play experiment pair) he tweaked again were a full 2 grams heavier than the rest. By the third run he had burned his experimental two plants because he had reached their limits. But by trial and error on just 2 out of 25 plants he was able to improve his harvest a solid 3.5 4.5, sometimes even 5 depending on the mother plant pheno grams per plant. Might i add he was growing ROMULAN in SCROG under a 600 wtt HPS (sorry for being so late...good dro here in orlando!) So by the end of his third grow with this strain he ahd succesfully gained roughly 75-100 grams more per harvest under two trials. Like story book from 17-19- 1 oz buds sometimes more, like i said depending on pheno type. Hope this helped

production. However, it must be applied as if it were raw manure. According to the nop's rules, raw manure:

• can be applied at will to crops not intended for human consumption
• cannot be applied to a crop within 120 days of harvest if the edible portion has direct soil contact
• cannot be applied to a crop within 90 days of harvest when the edible portion does not have soil contact


hey guys i found this, it has to do with using uncomposted manures. Just a technicality i thought i would share. I got the guanos and castings for veg teas too.

If you want something sweet that will improves the flavour that is a 100% Organic fertilizer use Organic Gem fish fertilizer. it is certified by OMRI the gold standard for organic products. It works awesome

I have a G13 Labs Pineapple Express 12 days into flower. She is in a 2 gal smartpot and makes her home in Espoma Organic potting soil ( best soil ever!!!) About a week before I switched to 12/12 I started to feed her Foxfarms Open Sesame at 1/2 strength and continued with Cornacopia Formula X (also fed with molasses)As a side note if you haven't discovered the Cornacopia line check them out. Amazing quality and amazing results!! So I have available to me for flowering ferts, high P bat guano, open sesame, molasses, pure kelp extract, worm power shower(worm castings tea) and is the kicker......pure Vermont maple syrup. I plan on using the syrup only once in place of the molasses at 15ml/gal. It has the carbs and sugars the plant needs for energy right? Anyways, what are some of your thoughts fellow growers on the flowering ferts I am and will be using and at what times during her flowering that I should be using them. She is a beautiful girl, very healthy. Lst'd and has about 15 tops. Any Vermonters out there?

I like this. My cooked soil should be done here soon - so I'll be lifting off shortly!

Dry organic powdered frets have always worked the best for me. Blood meal, bat guano, earthworm castings, bone meal, domolite lime, azomite, Epsom salts
