Samething I have read. In fact, you can feed it to your worm bin straight from the sorce

The key to remember is Nitrogen for Veg, Phosphorous for flower. For example, Indonesian Bat Guano comes from Fruit bats so they have more phosphorous than Mexican Bats whose primary diet is insects, hence more protein. Look at NPK ratings. LESS IS MORE. Also I would give up on the idea of making your own "supersoil", when I first began to grow I had that idea...didnt work. Once you add nutes to soil at beginning of grow your handicapped. You will have a myriad of problems crop up that will be hard to diagnose because of your additives, also a soil with high N has a tendency to stunt, that's if they sprout at all.

Umm I think part of the point of making supersoil is not to add chemical nutes. And "supersoil" can be a very effective way to grow

Good shit man

Future reference.

I would argue that rabbit poop isn't that hot and can be added right to soil in small amounts. (Also make sure the rabbits in question are on an alfalfa diet. Some people actually feed rabbits cat food)

I would also add in the original post how unsustainable bat guano is and how ineffective it is compared to a million other sustainable sources.

"The beauty of bat caves is you got your bats... then you got this layer of shit.. but in between is a whole field of three-high wall-to-wall cockroaches. So every bat that's shit shit's on a cockroach. Then the cockroach eats that shit and shits out cockroach shit, which is what you're really making guano teas out of.

The other best part is every time we extract an entire cave of guano, 9 out of 10 manufacturers don't care how they get it or how it's done. They bash out the side of the cave walls, and take all the guano out with front end loaders.. leaving all those bats to never come home again and then they die because they don't have homes and they don't recolonize with other bats. they smash destroy one cave and then it's right on to the next one. If the product doesn't say bat conservancy and they aren't paying a ton of money to protect the bat conservancy in this world, they're part of the problem. We're all about to be in a lot of trouble between the bats and the bees which are two major parts of our ecosystem that keep us humans comfortable." ~Scott - Nectar for the Gods

He treats it as a drastically inferior supplement, and sarcastically says "it was the shit in 1980".

Hey, I respect all organic growers and even non organic growers for that matter, just saying that before i say this:

Cant touch this…. DA na na na

just kidding.. but what i was gonna say is.. we don't even use guano. We don't seem to need it..
HQ Manure's are the shit. EWC too. fungal networks, bacteria colonies, micro beasty armies, that's all possible with and without the guanos'
But! @ the same time, if i had a bat cave i'd use it somehow! haha

HA!!!!

You just want to play with the Bat-Mobile.

I got no problem with Peruvian Sea bird guano, scraped off the rocks out at sea. Seems to be fairly regulated, at least in respect to bat guano, which has little, if any.

Wet

BTW, I don't use guanos of any sort. The cost just doesn't justify the benefits for me.

Fish bone meal at 6/20/0 is a good replacement component for high P guano. Been using a few months......seems fine.

Very nice

What ratio you been finding you like

TBSP per cubic foot?

1/2 Cup per cubic foot? Or more

In my present mix I use about 1 tbs per gallon with pork bone meal at 6/8/0. Love fish in my mix. Very good use for scraps. I have used Archapelago Bat Guano for ages and made the switch Iast spring.

Well shit

I use Ontario bat guano collected from houses, churches and cottages. I don't feel bad for using it because they aren't supposed to be there. It's high in Nitrogen. I use Seabird guano for flowering.
Www.batguy.org

Just order some Peruvian Seabird Guano (12-10-3) 2.2lbs
2 tea one to start the grow and one for the flowering !

This thread is full of shit

Love shit! It provides cheap long lasting nitrogen!

Well, frugivore bat guano can have so much K : the same amount as P (till 10%)...

Bat Guano - (Mexican, Jamaican, & Indonesian bat guanos)
Which Bat Guano is the best to use in supersoil? For flowering. Anyone?

Used the Indonesian before and wanted to know if the mexican or jamaican was better to use. They all have different NPK numbers and Indonesian was the most expensive.

Insectivore bat guano to veg, n frugivore bat guano to flower.
The Cuban bat guano is one of the best, in my opinión...
