you need to start making your own tea with worm castings,and its easy to make your own brewer out of a 5 gallon bucket,nothing is better than tea.nothing it all true organics and you dont have to pay for fertilizers,and you can pour it on seedlings and young plants tea are awesome peace PH2

guano is not a waste of money! 8 bucks of that stuff will take 7 or so plants all the way thru flowering. Mix the guano on the top couple inches of soil. I transplant before flowering and just mix it in the soil. Water it with room temp water, hot water will harm your plants.No foliar spray, it will clog up the sprayer. A tea works well too, again room temp water. Tea from worm castings is for vegging not flowering.

Plenty of Guano to be had on Ebay - search for Bat Guano or Organic Fertilizers. They'll mail or UPS it right to your door. Beats firing up the car & wasting $ 8 worth of gas - driving to and from.

Hope this helps...

So many people use Bat Guano, because it works. It works very well and makes fat, frosty nugs. Plain & Simple.... I bet the nay sayer, Joker52, uses chemically rendered sludge & petroleum waste byproduct fertilizers. Yuck...

Bat Guano is one of the oldest fertilizers known to man. Legends say that guano was so important to the Inca's in South America that the penalty for harming bats was death.
.
Bat guano begins as plant life, that is eaten by insects, which in turn are eaten by bats. Bat droppings fall to the floor of the cave where millions of guano beetles eat the droppings as their food. At the same time, beneficial decomposing microbes are also eating the droppings. This process composts the bat guano and increases the beneficial microorganisms in the guano. It also rids the guano of toxins and dangerous pathogens. Bat guano contains all of the macro nutrients as well as minor and trace elements essential for plant growth. Guano can be purchased with different NPK ratings for different stages of plant growth. Like 10-2-0, used for vegetative growth; 0-13-0, used for rooting and fruiting/flowering; and 10-13-3, used for both vegetative and flower promotion. Guano can be applied in two different ways: top dressing or through a tea.
.
It is the most well composted, well rounded, toxin free, natural fertilizer known to man. Practically Perfect. Thats why it makes wonderful, fat, frosty nugs.

P.S. - I am glad to hear you are Organic 2. Most often the people who talk down or question Guano - are not. Let me apologize. I just have strong opinions on certain subjects.

It's not just the lights that make large nugs it's a combination of lights, nutes, genetics and such... Plus bat shit has the correct nutrient ratios for flowering and vegging depending in what type you get.

I have 0-7-0 guano(high phosphorus). When my plants start to flower I will be transplanting into larger pots and was going to add a few tablespoons per gallon of new soil so the roots grow right into the phosphorus. Is a few tablespoons per gallon of soil enough to help or could I use more?

VirginHarvester .. The general rule with guano is two teaspoons per 8 inch pot - if top dressed, every two weeks. It's always better to start low & build up.
.
Now if you make a guano tea, you can go up to 4 tablespoons to a gallon of water - provided you share that equally with at least 4 or more plants. That would be too much for a single lady.
.
I would only go 2 tablespoons to a gallon of water the first time to be safe. Remember the old, home economics classes... three teaspoons equal one tablespoon.... are you listing...Ohsogreen...Yes, only because you're a hot teacher....
.
Oh, excuse me...drifting there... The reason being, I bought some 0-4-0 guano once, and had a agri-student (college buddy) test it. It was 1-11-0 (all soluble) so, I guess I got the bottom of the pile, the slighty hot stuff. It happens.
.
Since, I tend to invest a little more time with my ladies than most. I become attached to them. I hate to give them a hot shot - & hurt them.
Stay low..& build as you go.....

Hope this helps... Keep it Real... Organic....

Thanks for the + rep. I love Organic Growing. Once you jump on the Organic Growing Train - you'll ride it again & again.
.
After get a few Organic Grows under your belt, you'll see, you can produce - superior tasting buds & just as much yield - as the chem. fert. guys. I'm not bashing there way of doing things - I used to do them too.
I just haven't done them for the last 10 of my 30 years of growing.

If you have a question, just kick it my way. I get on here most days & will be glad to help.
