What would be your recipe?
SeniorVargasstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hi.
How would you make a good soil improver for flowering ?
In my case, the trick is that I only have : vermicompost , bat guano, bone meal and bananas peels but no info about each of their NPK at all. Thanks

All these things are slow release and extremely variable in their NPK composition.
If you are wanting to make a top dressing for your pots, I would suggest 3 litres of vermicompost, 1 cup of guano, 3 table spoons of bone meal and as many banana peels as you have and mix all these together.
Apply 3-4 hand fulls per plant and water in.
Organic amendments are slow acting and long lasting, so apply another 3-4 hand fulls every 3-4 weeks and you should be ok.
It is not very scientific, but from experience, this should work quite well.
Hope this helps, Organoman.

That's great! Take care not to put too much, as you dunno the proportion of NPK on each, it could lead to over fertilizer on Nitrogen or any other.
Humus normally has 1-1-1. Bat guano depends a lot on what these bats eats! And the sea thing, if it's from fish, is something around 5-2-2.
If the price is ok, and you have a lot of plants, these are great products, but i would use them with small amount.

Den Humus würde ich mit der Erde im Verhältnis 2:1 mischen. ( Teile Erde, 1 Teil Humus) Bat Guano kannst du mit Wasser mischen, oder als Topfeeding anbringen. Viel braucht es davon nicht. Bei natürlichen Produkten wie Guano geben die Hersteller selten die prozentualen Anteile der Elemente an, da dies auf Grund der Schwankungen nicht sicher möglich ist, es zu beziffern. Jede Fledermaus kackt anders, von daher ist keine Charge mit der vorherigen zu vergleichen =D
Finde dieses Video sehr informativ. Dort wird sehr gut auf die einzelnen Nährstoffe eingegangen:

I would mix a little bat guano and bone meal with your water about once a week. That will help build some flavorful buds. It doesn't take much. Maybe 1 tbsp of each per gallon

Good Nutrient Mixture For GH FloraMy outdoors are transitioning and I got GH Flora Series (Micro, Gro, Bloom). I mixed 2.5ml of each into 1 gallon of water (4 L) and spread that across my 4 plants. I feel like this was too little? What is a good general mixture for 1 plant, or is it better to make a bigger batch?Feeding. Schedule

How much does the fox farm trio affect pH and how much pH up (or down) would be needed for correct pH of a 7.0 gallon water.Anybody here grow outdoors in soil and use fox farm products? I was wondering if someone could approximate how much 2tbsp big bloom, 2 grow big, 1 tiger bloom would lower a neutral 7.0 gallon of water. I have drops but it's hard to see after adding bb. No meter. No money 4 one.Week 22

One of mine has lost almost all leaves. What would you guys recommend moving forward? I have almost all fox farmsLeaves. Curl down
