Mexican bat guano from censored lol (sunleaves) has an NPK of 10-2-1 and their jamaican bat guano has an NPK of 1-10-0.2, the difference is in their diet, one is fruit eating (high P) and one is insect eating (high N).

Heh, I just noticed that the bag of chunky perlite I have is from sunleaves:

Yeah, it's just a temporary light shield until I get something plastic to cover the opening.
Last time I used a piece of landscaping fabric doubled over to cut down on light getting to the roots & water, but it was a pain in the sitdown to take it off and put it in place, so will be using something solid this time.

Have you checked out mine? I add about a tbsp of h2o2 to every gallon and I've yet to have anything grow up top. I could see if you're trying to slow the evaporation process but I water every day anyway

Well, I water twice a day: once at lights on, and once at lights off.
I do this to keep the root mass & perlite moist, to have fresh air sucked into the root system more than just the once a day a single watering allows for, to keep the plants fed to their maximum, and to reduce the possibility of algae by keeping the bottom of the bucket flushed out with fresh & clean fluids.
But H2O2 will also be added later to the regimen (this weekend I need to get out for some supplies, so will be picking up a bottle.)
I'm more worried about the upper roots hardening off and converting to unnecessary air roots, so I keep them covered and away from the light.

*edit:
I go into overkill mode because I am a perpetual victim of Murphy's Law. ;-)

**edit-edit:
I'm also going to be blacking out the outsides of the buckets with paint after this weekend's supply run. I didn't have a problem with my roots last time (first hempy experience of mine), but I just feel the need to dot my i's & cross my t's. When I get more comfortable with it, I'l relax and go easier with it, but newby paranoia of munking it up has my OCD kicking in.

I'll be blacking out the bucket I just transplanted to, and all other buckets I have waiting in the wings.
Whenever I go out for supplies, the things I need are never in stock.
Wanted buckets that were made black, but they were sold out on my end of town, and it'll cost less in paint & elbow grease than it would cost in gas & time to drive all the way across town to try and find black buckets.
I realize that the plant pots I use for the insert into the bucket is black plastic, but enough light comes through the blue to make me concerned.
So it was either a bunch of costly tape to do all my buckets, or $5 worth of black paint & a day to get them painted with a couple of coats.
I know: worrying about 3 or 4 dollars!?!?!? WTF!?
We are in the last year of saving every penny we can to have a hefty down payment on a house by the end of the year (about 60k by October).
After we have a house, and my grow space is set up, I'm going to go crazy with shit.
Will still be on a budget, but nothing like it is now.
I haven't been this broke since my days in the Army.
But it will be more than worth it to get the fuck out of living in a tiny apartment.
Oh, man... will be able to make noise while building stuff, not have to worry about fan noise alerting the neighbors, not worrying about smells, able to veg the girls out for as long as I want, having an electrical system that doesn't require turning things off so the breakers don't trip when the wife needs to use the hair dryer or flat iron while my lights are on, room to walk around my plants instead of shoehorning my upper body into a small grow cab to work with the plants... I can hardly wait...

Oh!
And I'll be back to playing my bass guitar through my bass amp (I play through an audio interface with my computer and listen using headphones, and haven't even plugged my amp in for over 2 years. Damn, do I miss feeling the bass freq's pulsing through my body as I play)
AND I'm going to be getting myself one of these after we're set up in our new home:

No wasnt getting at bieng cheap I would think to be concerned about the fumes harming the plants I put plants in a room that was freshly painted ( tacky paint not completely dry but not just rolled out wet) and they took on a yellowing as if it was nitrogen deficient
