Advice needed on a tea

[Revelations]

I have a plant in day 34 of flower and it is too yellow. I bought some bat guano 10-6-2 my plant is almost ready for its heavy feeding watering. I am also have fox farm open sesame and bloom terra 103515 I think I could use if you think it is a good idea.

I have a 5 gallon pot and all organic soil which is out of food. Can I get some advice I water with one gallon for the 5 gallon pot.

I had nothing but problems with FF solubles so I stopped using them. Several times I ended up with what appeared to be issues with nitrogen and magnesium but could never track down the exactr problem. Others might disagree but I believe feeding your plants that much P is playing with fire. You could mix up a tea and aerate it. For bloom my tea looks like this (per one gallon of water)

2 Tbsp high P bat guano (0-7-0)
4 Tbsp worm castings
2 Tsp Liquid Karma or other kelp extract
1 Tbsp molasses

if I need some extra nitrogen I will add some alfalfa meal and I usually add some compost as well. You may want to use your 10-6-2 guano in place of the high P guano to boost nitrogen. Also, Look into blue mountain organics on ebay. You will save a lot of money.

That tea looks good and I agree about the super high P, especially when it sounds like you need some more N. Go with the 10-6-2 guano and some kelp, or something to bump up the K a bit.

I use 2 gallons for my 5 gallon containers. 1 gallon just doesn't give me the runoff I like.

I get a decent amount of runoff and have been wondering if I get total soil saturation, but that is a problem for another time, my next run will have better prepared soil

I used the fox farm bloom big, standard 2-8-4 or whatever, along with 2 tbs of the guano and 2 tsp. which is half strength fossil fuel humic acid. The leaves had greaned up nicely within a few hours before the lights went out very promising.

This sounds great, I may buy some of this stuff and just make the switch!

When I bought mine Walmart's online store had the best price, $16 delivered. I can't stress the importance of this book enough for anyone serious about organic growing.
