Hello,

Im growing 3 autos in 5 gal fabric pots.I want to use bad guano this time for flower instead of bio-bloom (biobizz) i already have as iv heard many good reviews . My plants are in their early flower. I want to ask how many days if i top dress them in the next days will the fertilizer starts to be realised in the roots ? Also guanokalong is 1-30-1 shall i buy the palm ashes from the same brand which is 1-1-30 aswell ? Or Can i use mollases instead along with the guano to give enough pottasium ?

I'm not familiar with that/those particular products.....but in general...you can get the guano to activate/work a bit faster if you mix it in water as directed and shake the Hell out of it a few times over a couple of days before application. Best of luck on the finish

You can use whatever you like really. I don't generally add a whole lot of potassium unless they want it. Blueberry is a K hound, at least mine.

Guano is fine as a top dress (but you have to press it into the soil) and doesn't take long. They are going to want N for the stretch anyway, so add P about the 2nd to 3rd week in when buds start to form. Add K if they want it or just a little top dress (also pushed in) if you are worried.

Or you can make tea. I like the dry amendment because it buffers and adjusts texture of soil.

Thanks for the answers
Do you think that the stretch dint started yet ? I thought it was close to finish because they got like double in size the last days ?I dint gave them N at all till now because i tought they are in 5 gal Light mix Biobizz so probably there is enought N inside for 5 weeks of veg?

So is it okay to topdress them now ? I mean its not to late or something it takes 2 weeks to start being released.

I don't care for the purple pics lol, so I can't see much, but they stretch for 2-3 weeks usually after they start forming pistils.

I usually give them one N feeding at the 3 week flower mark and then no more.

You can top dress now. Guano won't burn your plants. Just make sure you push it into the top of the soil, "massage" it in if you will.

Depending on how often you water will determine how long it takes to leach down.

Just remember not to double feed if you use dry amendments. No bottled nutes from there on out.
