I just ordered some things to make a small batch of sub's soil. I realize now though after ordering that I've got the wrong bat guano. I ordered Indonesian, it's 05.12-.02 instead of the 0-5-0 sub uses (I've read).

So my question is... can I just use less of the Indonesian guano and be alright? Also how important is peat in subs recipe? I've got no peat in my mix right now, just coco.

Any thoughts, greatly appreciated.

You can just lower the dose accordingly.

Does it really matter? I use guano Kalong that has great rep, not the same N-P-K ratio but beneficials seems as important as N-P-K, just like subs switched from steamed bone meal to fish bone meal?

The n-p-k ratio matters.

Yeah but if you adjust accordingly with an other brand that has an other NPK ratio but has a better beneficial profile you'd rather go for that isnt it?

Dont want to "smash an open door", just making sure

if you're going to cut the quantity to produce the same ratio then yes i'd say it's the way to go... if you're going to put the same amount in and create a different ratio, i'd say no that would not be what you want to go for... better beneficial profile isn't going to override the effect of the right n-p-k ratio in flower.... in veg I'd say it does not matter as much... in flower it does... it's going to affect how fast your plants bud and stack up.
