Natural Terpene Booster: Does Your Area Have a Rabbitry?

[sneezydog]

what is goat and sheep like in comparison alpacas kinda hard for find..... i bet theres an old thead on manure types...

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

Goat and sheep are far behind alpaca on both nutrient density and terpene production.

 

[little-soldier]

Apparently what makes alcapa poop the best of the best is the fact that it takes them over 60 hours to digest their food

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

Very interesting. I have access to alpaca dung locally, maybe this year or next I'll get a chance for a side by side. Besides stirring up shit and keeping bunnies alive, I'm also slinging my GreenFocus supplement on etsy and have nothing cannabis going except a few tortured seed plants. Wheeee!

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

I hear they are like bunnies, as in they like to use one spot for their bathroom. You get alpaca dung heaps, already stacked up. Lol

 

[little-soldier]

Etsy is where i Placed my order of alpaca poop. I just did a quick research and turns out sloths are the longest to digest their food. Takes em between 11 to 30 days. Gotta find me some sloth poop now lol. Also elephants have 800 stomachs, i might try that too with my shitty experiments lol

Here's an elephant "tea"

 

[CannaRed]

Sorry about showing you guys that.
I saw that this morning and figured I'd pass it along especially since elephants were brought up.
Don't hate me.

Bunny poop tea porn...

Keeping bunnies where I live has a potential fine of $44,000 (not sure how they arrived at that amount). They are considered a pest species. What I have found improved terpenes a lot is incorporating bokashi waste in my potting mix. has been a game changer, and all produced through kitchen scraps.

No access to bunny or alpaca turds here but there's an owl house a bit into the woods in my back yard with a pile of owl dung and pellets equaling about 4 wheelbarrows full next to it.
I'm tempted to give it a try.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

Beauty buckets, looks like some really good shit! I have neighbors and have lids on eeeverything!

Wild bunnies, eh? Sounds like they disrupted the local prey/predator balance and reaping the rewards? Seriously doubt they are mostly house bunnies... yeah?

That's a Lotta owl shit!!! lolol

When I steep bunny poop tea and then mix it 1 part tea to 3 parts well water it makes a ph of 7. This is great. My well water is 8.4 ph. My rain water is 6.1 and I figured not to mix it with that. I use that when I water with plain water. 3 parts rain water and 1 part well water gives me 6.7.

I gave everything BPT today. All the cannabis plants, the vegetable garden and the cornfield plants. It was brutal in the corn. They were all glad I invited them to the tea party. All the plants got sprayed with Venerate and Regalia. I also add Regalia when watering every week or so. I am going to try and stay ahead of mold and insect issues this year.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

Careful where you get your alpaca poop... ran across a lady who killed everything in her green houses a few years ago. She sourced some alpaca poop, applied it to everything (no need to compost... right!?!). Apparently the alpacas had a diet which included a lot of salt grass. Alpaca Nuke!

Saw a grasshopper in my yard today. I saw some big holes in leaves yesterday, but only a few. After a minute of observation I felt like the guy laughing in the following clip about 19 seconds in. Hahaha! haaaa! haaaa!


Lol... bit off more than it could chew. Not feeling well at all. Lolol I am so sold on this stuff its crazy. Peticide.... no. Plant health booster? Oh yes!

 

[little-soldier]

Thx for the heads up Douglas. Im only doing it on 2 plants out of 100. Will be doing alot of testing with different amendements and nutrients. I tried most nutrients on the market and so far I’m not impressed. Last one i used was pure blend pro. The buds didn’t taste any better than H&G and many other synthetics. I’m all for taste. This time i will be trying biothrive.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

Glad I could help, and yes you are very smart to test first.

I have found it important with cannabis to use the minimum of inputs necessary. Excess is accumulated and you can taste it at harvest, so always start with less than you figure, and plain water the last few weeks. You can always try more the next run.

 

[blondie]

Haven’t seen deer poop mentioned yet. I can get quite a bit of this. Any ideas?

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

Deer are a red meat, so likely needs composting but no idea other than that.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

I had a batch of the manure tea tested, and the results were not what I expected...

NPK 0.051/0.023/0.068
EC 6.07
pH 7.39

Percent %
Moisture 99.5

Total nitrogen: 0.051
Organic Nitrogen 0.014
Ammonium Nitrogen 0.037
Nitrate Nitrogen <0.001

Phosphorous 0.010
P205 Phosphorous 0.023

Potassium 0.057
K2O Potassium 0.068

Sulfur 0.006

MgO Magnesium 0.013

Sodium 0.009

mg/kg
Zinc <0.5
Iron 3
Manganese <1.0
Copper <1.0
Boron 1

C:N Ratio 3.4

I was not expecting potassium to be higher than nitrogen, that was a big surprise. Love the inability to test nitrate levels because they're so low. Phosphorous needs work, or a supplement in this batch. Good to know.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

I'm going to test the next batch using filtered water instead of city water. The city water report was clean enough but did not include potassium levels. lol That's some strong shit there. Literally 3 drops in a half-pint (250ml) sprayer makes a great foliar. I've been testing it alongside the water soluble calcium on cannabis, basil and a bunch of other plants.

Yum!
