Anyone using guano + kelp as a side dressing for flowering?

Can't brew a tea with the guano (guerrilla). Been using PSG for veg as a dressing which has been phenomenal but now I'm switching over to Indonesian and need something for K in flowering.

i used to just top dress guanos with great results. just water in with plain old compost tea. you get more out of the guano this way imo than liquid soaks.

top dressing the PSG has been going great. I'm more concerned with using the kelp dry and at what rate to mix the two.

The Short answer is I have done that before.
The Long answer is ; Side? Top!

You can use kelp meal in flower but I suggest less is better.

If you have a grinder of some type such as a coffee bean grinder you can make all the top dressings you like.
There are two things you can pick up in the grocery store. Ground coffee and rice flour.

You can take some bone meal, coffee, rice flour, your guano and even a little kelp and grind it fine and top dress if you like. I'd be sure some fresh organic soil is sprinkled on top too just to be sure your soil is alive with microorganisims.

i top dress lightly and massage in high P guano only when the bitches are taking off and getting fat,,only a couple of times, got p in the mud, just as a boost , i just water through with either a EWC tea or just ph'd water... Go for it, if the guano is good

I thought side dress = top dress lol.

as for size, they're mostly between 7-10 feet

nice! thanks for the rice flour idea. No bone meal for me though. I had some problems in the spring because my mix uses it and someone sniffed it out and dug into a few pots and knocked over some little girls...only lost one though

Why do you say less is better with the kelp? The hermie myth? I don't believe it. Either way I need something for K and kelp seems like the best option. I really want to ride it out with the guanos too because I've heard people rave about what it can do for the taste.

Molasses has K. Earth Juice Meta K is inexpensive and works well too.
