the three_little_birds grower’s and breeder’s collective--organic flowering recipe

[GCase]

Any one tried this recipe:

A good example of a guano tea recipe at the Bird’s Nest is really as simple as the following:
1 Gallon of water
1 TBSP of guano (for a flowering mix we’d use Jamaican or Indonesian Bat Guano - for a more general use fertilizer we would choose Peruvian Seabird Guano.)
1 tsp blackstrap or sugar beet molasses
We mix the ingredients directly into the water and allow the tea mix to brew for 24 hours. It’s best to use an aquarium pump to aerate the tea, but an occasional shaking can suffice if necessary and still produce a quality tea. We will give you one hint from hard personal experience, make sure if you use the shake method that you hold the lid on securely, nobody appreciate having a crap milkshake spread over the room.

Some folks prefer to use a lady’s nylon or stocking to hold the guano and keep it from making things messy, but we figure the organic matter the manure can contribute to the soil is a good thing. Using this method we feel like we are getting the benefits of a manure tea and a guano top-dressing all together in the same application. If you prefer to use the stocking method, feel free to feed the”tea bag”leftovers to your worm or compost bin, even after a good brewing there’s lots of organic goodness left in that crap!

Going to use for mid to late flowering. Have both ingredients. Just now letting the
Indonesian Bats out for feeding and the mule has arrived with fresh molasses.

had a similar issue about a week ago with my kelp/seaweed/fish fert.... cap wasnt on tight and i thought it was... gave myslf a dose in it... my cats came running mewwwing... lol

dont go to crazy wth guano... especially the indoneesian and jamaican... they pack a lot of punch for little bit....

another thing i found very beneficial in that mix is "root drench"... they multiply in that oxygen - and sugar - and nutrient rich enviro....

and also... worm castings if you dont have your own worm bin (which i reccomend you start)

or big bloom in lieu of...


:smokebuds:

Thank you JM. Where I live the worms, well, they got smart a long long time ago and migrated out of here deep underground--just like all the people should do posthaste--but for different reasons. But, I can get the worm casings. I will look into the big bloom and root drench. Giving up another trade secret--JM. And you forgot to leave a footnote: never sample your own tea.:twist:

Both, unless, you run each thru your reverse osmosis set up--then, I would still want to chill, shake and drink with a lemon twist or a squeeze of lime. Personally, the tea sounds a bit more exotic to my taste and must be full of flavor.

I gotta say, guano tea is where it's at. I add kelp meal and EWC to my guano tea. It should be noted that most tap water has chemicals in it that will kill microbes. I use filtered water in mine.
Also, don't fill it right to the rim or you'll learn what a foam volcano looks like!
