I was thinking about applying a layer of bat guano high in N, i think it has a 9 in N. Is there a possibility of making the soil to hot, burning the roots with bat guano? Otherwise i think ill b using fish emulsion, cause i heard its cant burn roots.

Also anyone have any experience with floranova bloom, i was thinking about using it during flowering? ive heard good things. but any experience with it, would you recommend it over tiger bloom?? and do these nutes affect pH.... sumone told me they use FF nutes and theyre pH could drop all the way to a 4 or 5.

i heard bat guano is great for plants but you are right if you use to much of it it can burn the roots a guy on another site i go on used it on his plants here in the uk last year and what results he had the plant grew huge and with all the bad weather we had he had a kilo and a half off the plant.do a google search on it i dont know what make of bat guano you was interested in and if its all the same. but type in cavemans bat guano thats one make and it will give you some idea.

baet,

you can top dress soil with guano so that rain slowly it washes off... transplant in good soil and then after 3 weeks dress with guano on half of recommended dose or less and then maybe reapply and plants will grow happy. ocassional when you visit you can handwater with liquid ferts or guano tea...

when comes august you topdress with guano in high P.. and ocassional shot with liquid fertiliser.. and job is done...

So if you're going organic use guano as topdressing, as is great tool, rain does it for you..

if you're going chemical you can use simple NPK pellets or Urea that farmers use... Plants grow very well on that too...

keep it simple and don't trust propaganda that plant needs 8 fertilizers with shiny names...

it's a plant...

fish emulsion can atract animals to dig, because of smell...
and I wouldn't mix guano in soil, i heard of total burned plants, in real life not on internet...


i vote for organic...


regards

im planning on using a mix like 20% coco, 15% perilite, 35% earthjuice amazon bloom soil, and the rest earthworm castings and added limestone for pH. then i guess i will go ahead and apply half dose of guano a few weeks after transplant and then again in august. i heard earthjuice microblast is real great for fixing any micronute deficiency too or just keeping your micros good, so ill be using that every couple weeks.

yeah ive heard its really good for cannabis. a few ppl told me they get good results from it, but its another potentially hot organic to add to your soil if done wrong, just needs compostings for a few weeks, probably already know that if youve used it for tomato plants, but yup...
