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

Organomananswered grow question 3 years ago

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.

GreenOrganicGermanyanswered grow question 3 years ago

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: www.youtube.com/watch

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

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.
