Rabbit Manure Tea question....

people have been using this for years so it will be fine 50-50 but to correct a N imbalence add worm poop and it will work wonders! i put one pound per five gallons works well.... the water can only get so saturated with salts so it is not easy to over do it just dont pour the soilds on thr plants it creates hot spots that may burn....

Yep!!! I'd keep it in the garage or the back porch until it starts getting cooler. Unless you live alone, there's gonna be trouble if you try and make organic teas in the living room.

With manure after initial bubbling and dilution into 50 gal drums (into 50 I throw it out and bubble my dilution, too many bacteria's (I usually use chicken guano though) That works best if you have a steady supply, obviously. There are some pretty nasty pathogens in guano's so just keep in mind the more good bacterial life, that also means the bad normally. I haven't read much into sanitary needs of rabbit poop, but I would definitely check wnat to know what kind of bacterial pathogens it has normally, before I keep it for long periods.

so it's not gonna be good in the long term? maybe a week and a half at best?

I don't have easy access to worm poop so I wont be able to do that....

rabbit manure has enough N in there to fix n inbalance imo.
 
Rabbit manure has mostly N, if I recall, you don't need to add anything more, rabbit is quite a bit different then chicken guano. It's not near as hot as the other guanos, you may be fine bubbling it for the long term... with my compost tea I can bubble it for months without ill effects. I personally (thinking of doing meat rabbits next year) wouldn't take the risk, and would just brew up what you need when you need it.
 
Rabbit manure is one of the best of all the manures. It can be used directly without burning anything. It has an added benefit that most domestic rabbits are fed a diet primarily of alfalfa, which contains Triacontinol, a natural growth hormone for plants. It is the highest in N, and is well balanced for MJ for both veg and flower. NPK of 2.4-1.4-.6

Funny, I use it directly out of the rabbit. In fact, it's been my primary fert (along with EWC) for the past 6 years. I've never even heard of it burning, much less had it happen in my world. You MIGHT wanna check your source on that.
I mix it in my soil at the beginning, use it as tea, and compost it along with the other stuff. I have 4 breeders that save it for me.
 
so I gave them all about 120 ML each. so 240 per 5 gallons. with 20-25ML of buddha bloom, hpk, and hp2 per 5 gallons.

gonna be feeding like this every watering. I'll let you guys know if any of those yellowing leaves green up ;)
 
so I put an airstone in it yesterday, and now it's gone from normal bubbling to bubbling with a huge foam, hella aeration.. added a few more potent chunks of rabbit manure/compost too.
 
perhaps its best to go weak with the poop, and build up to what your thinking, 35% poo seems very stinky to me. id start with 10% or so, then if all is well, 2 weeks later, push 20%... not enough nutrients wont kill, but too much poo can really put the stink on your day.

well I strained out the really thick stuff and it's just a nice brown liquid relatively thick colored but not thick in consistency.

I think this is day 3 now, so far no signs of any burns, no dramatic effects yet, but I'm thinking what's happening right now is on a more subtle level. we'll see in the following weeks.
