How Much Guano is too Much to Topdress?

How much of Sunleaves Indonesian Bat Guano would be too much to topdress with? It says use 2 or 3 tblsp. /g but doesn't say how much to use as a topdressing so looking for someone with some experience with this. I used the veg guano as well and 3 as topdressing wasn't enough it seemed. But how much is too much? I know its much more difficult to overfert with organic but Its possible I know with guano. Would a lot of rainfall cause more to be released?

Our area has been getting good rainfall and have only had to handwater a few times so i apply to top but obviously all of it does get taken into soil after first rain. Plants are between 4 n 5ft in the ground and get about an 1 to 1.5" of rainfall a week for reference and received all organic nutrients guano and 3 waterings with FF Grow big and light dose of Tigerbloom bout a week ago and most are starting to bud. I also applied 2 tbl. of Epsom Salt to top to add magnesium.

Here's description of guano:
From the Far East comes Sunleaves Indonesian Bat Guano (0.5-12-0.2). With the highest phosphorus rating available in a guano, it's an excellent addition to your fertilizer line. Perfect for encouraging multiple blooms and hardy root growth. 100% organic, suitable for all indoor and outdoor plants. May be used in a watering program or applied dry.Use 2 to 3 tablespoons per gallon of watering or apply as topdressing.

I used a couple of handfulls on mine, each watering for 3 waterings and that was too much. Raised my soil ph quite a bit. It hasn't been a major problem, but I certainly wouldn't do it again. I would suggest a good handful watered in. Then another good handful watered in about 3/4 weeks later.

its hard to tell w/ no pics but they dont need any flowering nutes until the beg. of mid flower, they should have enough to get things started from your veg nutes, dont pound em w/ flowering nutes just yet, i know its tempting seeing how there beg. to bud but you just end up fuckin em up and having to flush

thanx ya but could someone be more exact as to measurements. My handful could be 2 or 3 times yours depending on my hand size and how much i cup it.

This was my first time using the exact same guano this past weekend. I used the potted plant directions on the back of the bag. I think I put two tablespoons into my water (just over two gallon bucket) and mixed it. I split the two gallons of water among five plants in 5 gallon grow bags. Always better to start slow. I think most of us have learned the hard way on that one. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

i always mix the guano in the dirt beforehand, or water in with a compost tea.
but if you do some simple guestimates....
1 gallon of soil per foot of growth
1-2 TBSP per gallon of dirt (might seem low, but the stuff is strong!)
i would estimate about 1-2 tablespoons per foot of plant, watered in with a compost tea/molasses drank for faster results.

ps, when i mix guano for teas and such i use "dashes" and "handfuls" and "sprinkles" and other less-then-useful measurements, but it sure works!

FYI, I would recommend avoiding the Fox Farms nutrients if you are also using organics.

My reasoning:
-Those are soluble chemical based nutrients. When it rains, those just flush right on down into your groundwater instead of feeding your plants.

-Using chemical based nutrients harms the soil bacteria and fungi. These very same bacteria and fungi are the ones REQUIRED to process and release the nutrients contained in your guano. If you put down the guano top dress and follow it with a healthy dose of living AACT (actively aerated compost tea), you will get much better results from your guano.

Good luck!!!

EDIT: I realize this is an old thread, but I felt it was worth chiming in for all the folks (like myself) who dug this thread up while google searching.
