What would be your recipe?
SeniorVargasstarted grow question 4y 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.

I would mix the humus with the soil in a ratio of 2:1 (2 parts soil, 1 part humus). You can mix bat guano with water or apply it as top feeding. You don't need much of it. With natural products like guano, manufacturers rarely specify the percentage of the elements, as it's not reliably possible to quantify due to fluctuations. Every bat poops differently, so no batch can be compared to the previous one =D
I find this video very informative. It goes into detail about the individual nutrients:

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

Ph drop after res changePh dropped hard 24 hr after res change @ 60%. Had changed 1 week prior due to high ec + slowly dropping ph and added another air stone. Turned off the air stone for an hour, no change so likely not acid rain situation. Ph up’d, plant never showed signs of being unhappy. Thoughts?
