ok so i know im gonna use bat guano, worm castings and molasses for the veg, what should i use for flowering if not the same thing.
and how much should i use? like 1 tblsp or roughly a handful or somthing like that. and how much dry compounds to water, like 1 tblsp to 1 gallon of water or somthing
sorry im just tryin to get my shit straight ive never grown organic before lol

and also im going to "brew" it in a 5 gallon bucket, and ive read i need an air pump to supply oxygen for the microorganisms. where can i get those at, petco wants $70+ for a fish air pump, i know i can get on for 30 bucks somwhere else i just dont know where lol.
if you guys could help me out id appreciate it, thanks bongsmilie

There are different kinds of bat guano. I use high N (9-3-2) guano during veg and high P (0-7-0) during flower. Both at the rate of 2 Tablespoons of guano per gallon of water.

youre on a good start, as mentioned the use of 2 different guanos are needed. as an example, in a 5 gal bucket you can mix up

3 tbsp of molasses
2 tbsp of ec
2 tbsp of bat guano

of course you can also add fish emulsion, blood meal, bone meal, alfalfa meal, sea kelp, etc etc.. also i found my air pump at petco for about $8, so look again or explore other options

good luck

hmm. well ive read urine has nitrogen in it, if i watered down my piss could i just use that for nitrogen instead of guano to save some cash, im really tight on moneys? ive used urine before on previous plants and it didnt hurt them at all, its actually good for them, nitrogen and other salts that they use and stuff. i just dont know how much nitrogen is in pee.

use one part pea to 5 part water it works like a charm you can also use molasses it is cheap about a dollar or to use non sulfar and worm casting can get about 3 dollar at local nursery

well what else does the fish emulsion, blood meal, bone meal, alfalfa meal, sea kelp, etc etc.. add besides NPK? and the mollasses just adds carbs to make bud density better right.

Its a diffrent way off looking at nutes, normal n-p-k leaves a lot out of the eqation as the "carryer" of the ellemental partical your plant needs can weigh diffrent amounts if used in a diffrent form.

bit like saying all gold is 24ct and so 100g of gold is always 100g. some aint! 9ct aint so 100g of 9ct is less than 100g gold but still weighs 100g, :-)

If ya dont understand it dont matter, ya plant will love most nutes ya give it!

i got a little anticipated and made my tea a week or so too early... do you think it would keep if i continued to oxygenate it? it should be complete in one day

most organic teas are better than a commercial product coz there fresh, that old bottle of nutes in the shop could have been there years! :-)
