It takes 24 hours to make a tea. That is the Optimal for a compost or manure tea.
You use new guano every time. So do not re-use it.
Only about 5% of the guano is water soluble.

Depends on your plants and what stage of growth. I go by the rule......Less is Better you can always increase but never take away. Burnt plants......are just that......burnt plants. There is no recovery.
it s just what B1 said it is Guano Tea and Kelp. It should say Guano and Kelp Tea. But I am not going to be the one to tell B1.

Thanks, that clears things up! Not sure where I got the 3 day brewing time, I think from Teaming with Microbes ? But either way I won't reuse my ingredients, just chuck em or can you top dress a plant with them, just saying I hate to flush them they have 0 useful value?

I'm using the first soil mix from the very beginning of this thread, and now I'm having a bit of a high pH problem. Not too high, but enough to cause a few of the plants to seem have the beginnings of lock out. With this soil mix, what would be the best remedy. We're talking a pH of 7.0-7.5. My water's pH is fine.

I'm not sure if it would work or not but it would make sense to water with slightly acidic water. The dolomite should prevent the ph of the soil from going too low but this might help get the ph down some. I'd wait for a pro for confirmation, but it's an idea anyhow.
Alternatively I know some folks use sulfur for adjusting ph down.

First off, why did you post this here? Not only is this not the sub-forum for this (new growers) but this is a thread that has NOTHING to do with your question.
To answer your question though: putting a plant into flower and then trying to get it to re-veg would put the plants through way too much stress. It would be better to take a clone and put it in 12/12 to show sex, or just go all the way through flowering and then re-veg after your harvest.

Did you allow the soil to sit for a minimum of 2 weeks?
If you did you will be fine. Do not guess.
