I bought some Budswel and Earth Juice bloom
from a company i have never shopped with before.


( The Guano Company Liquid Budswel )

I opened up the budswel and it smelled like stagnate water i tested the ppms (hanna) for the entire gallon jug it was 697ppm.
When i add this to my water it does nothing for the PPMs i think it was diluted or its just a bullshit product.


If anyone out there has some they could test the PPM's from there Jug and let me know i would greatly Appreciate.
If you smell guano's its a high pitch shit smell, but its a whole different smell from stagnate water is like something foul and rotten.This is why i think its BS.


Earth Juice Bloom
I also got some earth juice bloom I tested this it was 8895 PPMs from the jug.
This is a milky cream colored liquid that bubbles up when you shake it up kinda like a milkshake.
If someone owns this product and can confirm the PPMS to be in the 8500 area ( hanna ppm) for me i would appreciate it. But confirming the milky like liquid form would be enough.


I mostly concerned with the Budswel, i don't think the company i ordered from would risk watering down there products and lose there customers.

+rep for help.

Thanks
take care

I don't have any Budswel as it's not for sale in the UK, but it's stated NPK is 0-7-0.

I do have some No Mercy liquid bat guano here, which is 2-15-2, so basically twice the strength of Budswel.

I stuck my truncheon in ti and it reads around ec 1.2, which according to the printing on my truncheon is 600-700ppm (I never used ppms) so sounds to me like your Budswel is fine.

I know I can add a lot of liquid guano to my feeds without bumping up the ec much, it's nigh-on impossible to burn plants with it. It does increase yield, but not like a chemical pk booster can, but it does increase taste a bit, especially when used alongside worm casts, molasses and kelp.

Hmmm.
Could be im having a hard time grasping the concept of adding nutrients to my water and only seeing the ppms go up by 10.

The cynical side of me says this is a tea made from guano and castings, and its being sold in the gallon jugs with the impression that its a concentrate. ( on the label " A little Goes a Long Way".)

This leads me to think in a reality-grow that 1 gallon of budswel would last someone with a 600 watt grow using say 3 -5 gallons of water every feed, about 5 or 6 waterings.

The stagnation is also a concern, it seems like the company ( if it wasn't watered down afterward) made some tea with guano's and castings.

As far as i know you cant store tea.
I was always under the impression you needed to use it up within 48hrs ( MAX) after mixing/bubbling it.
If you can store tea you cannot store in a non-lightproof container without some form of heating and sealing at best.
Stagnated water is dead water there is nothing good about that for any plants as far as i am aware.

Now lets just pretend you can store tea, once you crack the seal on your container your product is going to start to decompose and because there is no fresh oxygen to your 99% water 1% guano -castings we are going to experience a wretched stagnation.



I think i am gonna have to say Budswel unless bought fresh within 48 hours after its made and used within those 48 hours is BULLSH*T.

I think the difference is your liquid Guano is probably a thick substance. I'm guessing its probably 60/40 Guano to water ratio which would make it thick but watery enough to escape from the bottle and use without drying up in the bottle.

The budswel i have is like 100% colored stagnant water. The concentrate guano would have been a better choice i believe.

when i worked at a hydro shop years ago, an earth juice rep came in one time. we are talking and everything and i ask, what do you use?
he says gh. im like, what? and you work for earth juice? he said, ya! the batches that they mix for there nutrients are so inconsistent, that there is no way i would use it.
that said, ive never even had the thought cross my mind of trying earth juice......

Im using the Floranova series, but it seems to keep hair production going a little more then i like.
I wanted to add something to flowering and just grabbed the earthjuice on a whim.
I guess i should have grabbed the FloraBloom and just half and half with my Floranova bloom.
Sometimes i don't think straight.
lol

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to krunchbubble again.

Not sure, but the No Mercy stuff is clear and not thick at all, no smell to it either, looks like water really.

Perhaps you should buy dry guano and just make up small batches of guano tea with it as you need?

Guano rocks though, really does enhance taste and boost yield.

Hmm, indifferent you say its clear and the ppm is between 600- 700 on your No Mercy liquid bat guano.

Do you use large amounts in feeding ?

Just curious as to why you would want to mix GH flora Bloom with Floranova Bloom? What are you trying to achieve by mixing the two?
Not being a wise ass, just curious since most people add pk boosters and such to either the FNB or the FB, not mix the two together. Or did I read things wrong? (I'm stoned so...lol)
