Hello:
I do use bat guano and I love it. Actually I´m not using liquid feedings anymore.
I was having a tought about vampire bats guano.

The fact that they suck blood, means that their guano is stronger?
I guess it is......

Just throwing in that exposure to bats- specifically eating bats- is a suspected cause of the Ebola outbreak in Africa. Domestic sustainable guano will def be the way I buy. Thanks.
Hello:
That is what Wikipedia says, you are right.
I was just wondering if their shit/guano will have higher P and K.
The massai tribe drinks blood from their cattle and they look quite handsome, tall and strong
.
Blood is really nutritive but not intention of becoming Drácula.
I will stick to the local black pudding ( morcilla).
Kinf of sausage made of pork blood,onion some spices....

i have been reading your posts but got some question of my own.
My grow room is close to where i sleep and i read that bat guano can be release hazardous spores into the atmosphere or in this case my sleeping area.
one paragraph taken from the website http://www.getbatsout.com/bat-guano-dangerous/
It’s easier than you might think. Bats become infected with histoplasmosis, and their feces contain the histoplasmosis fungus. This fungus grows in the soil where the droppings land, or in the droppings found in an attic occupied by bats. The fungus then continues to grow, just waiting for you or me to come along to clean out the old barn, the attic, or other place where the spores now lie.
Or sometimes, we disturb the dirt (cleaning up the garden, sweeping out the empty building, or doing other seemingly harmless dirty work), causing the spores to become airborne. When we breathe that air, we then become infected with the histoplasmosis fungus and the real trouble begins.
shall just relax?

This all could be said true probably about every single bagged and or processed organic fertilizer.
Simply, most of it gets harvested with a machine of some sort, then processed through a machine, then through a bagging system and bagged in a plastic bag, so on and so fourth.
Its all in the same. Some on a larger scale than another, but when you boil it down, it all fucks something up in the long run. Machines and manufacturing require fuel and electricity, etc. All are destructive and wasteful, etc, etc, etc.

That is a good point, Granger.
Hi,
Bonemeal has a better NP ratio than bat guano. It's lack micro nutrients (bonemeal) but if you add basaltmeal this is no problem anymore. Both Bone- and basalt meal are way cheaper and easier to find. Apart from plagron I don't know any other brand that sells bat guano in consumer quantities. B.T.W. Plagron recently stopped selling guano because of lack of interest.
You have to soak bonnemeal at least for a couple of days. Shake this mixture once in a while. If you shake it thoroughly, once every day or even two days should be enough.
From the moment the mixture start to look turbit/cloudy when the solids have sunk to the bottom after you have shaken it, the mixture is ready to use. I use 1 part of mixture with at least 2 parts of water. I use it once every 2 or 3 waterings. The later they are in the flowering stage the lesser I give. I also add vinasse for potassium.
