Hi Everyone

I'm in Uruguay and CANNOT get any normal veg or flowering nutrients at all down here other than normal NPK Ferts (so nothing for flowering !) and customs stops all other imports if sent via Amazon etc so I'm a bit stuck.

I have an indoor grow cabinet and good seeds and here's what I can get on a regular basis:

Perlite
Vermiculite
Worm Castings
Sea Bird Guano
Kudras Peat Moss, type KB.
It says it is peat material, based on lightly decomposed oligotrophic peat moss with ph adjustment of 5.5-6.5. It also says that it contains nearly no fertilizer and liquid feeding should start after 2 weeks. It lists the nutrition content (mg/ltr) as follows:

N 50-90 / P 60-100 / K 70-110 / Mg 10-40 / Cu < 1 / B < 1 / Mo < 1 / Zn < 5 / Fe < 15

Also, possibly Bat Guano, just waiting to find out on that one.

So, bearing in mind I can't get any nutes and am getting desperate (!!), what mix can I make with the above ingredients that will work for the whole cycle to harvest for indoor soil growing.

Any and all help appreciated - I'm getting to the point where I'm wondering if I cant actually do a grow at all !

Well all I see on the list which could pass for fertilizer is the bat and bird poop. Maybe the worm poo too.

I think you could make a pretty decent guano tea with what you have available...I don't see any reason you couldn't do a guano tea/hempy bucket grow with perlite and a little vermiculite as a grow medium.

What I use...


Guano Tea and Kelp:

Seedlings less than 1 month old nute tea mix-
Mix 1 cup earthworm castings into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
Add 5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses.
Use it to water your seedlings with every 3rd watering.

Veg mix-
1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Use it to water with every 3rd watering.

Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Use it to water with EVERY watering.

That was lifted from another forum, BTW.

Using just these ingredients, it depends on the what NPK the seabird guano is. The last SB guano that I saw was 10-10-1

Let us know what NPK the guanos are. You'd also probably want some kinda K additive, also depending on the values for the guanos.
