The guy at the store cautioned me about using too much guano because it will make the taste like sulfur. What is the best way to use 0-13-0 don't I want to go kinda light?
*Meet my grow*
Strains:
LSD
Blue Magoo
CinX
Skunkberry
Moby Dick
My beds are 4' dia and filled 15" deep (SA of 12.7 ft^2, Vol of 15 ft^3 or 117 gal) with:
80% Sandy loam
10% Organic worm castings
3% Malibu's biodynamic comp
3% Organic fish comp
3% Vital Earth organic compost
I've amended with some gypsum to correct a calcium deficit (known from a soil analysis, well worth the $36 or whatever).
I've also fertilized twice with a dry dressing made of fish meal, bone, kelp, greensand, azomite, mycorhizzal fungi, etcetera.
Every two weeks I brew in 2 gal of RO :
1c. of each soil amendment listed above (minus the loam) I let it all float freely
1c. hydrolyzed fish 1-2-0.2
1/2c. kelp
1 c. Humic/fulvic acid (ful-power)
1.5 Tbsp unsulfured molasses
Brew 72 hours (meaning: 1 hour bubble plain RO, then add mix and wait 72 hours).
I then add yucca (Wet Betty), two cap-fulls of Kelp, and then vortex with a stick one way then the other (like 100 revolutions) for an hour. (I do this for 5-10 min whenever I thinks of it just to show the microbes some love).
To Foliar feed :
I dilute 200 mL of tea with 800 mL (my sprayer is 1L).
(no experience with watering this solution in, I assume the microbes are all there already from the MAlibu's biodynamic compost and mycorrhizael
fungi I added -need more data)
On the off week I spray kelp and Humic/fulvic.
I also spray kelp every 3ish days and spray pH'd water (6.3ish) in between that.
Yes it is a lot of work. The pay-off for me has been the relationship that is developing and the subtle things the plant can teach me this way about about its care.
My question:
How would you work guano into this routine given the light cycle goes to 14/10 on Aug. 15 in Oregon? i.e. when would you begin and what would you do exactly to avoid overdoing it given the recipe above? If you will, that is.
