Bat Guano The Cannabis Super-food Rich

Guano has a long history as a high-performance organic fertilizer. When you see the benefits of guano on cannabis plants, you will immediately comprehend why wars have been fought and fortunes have been made and lost because of guano.

How to use guano:

1. As an organic soil mix with bone meal and chicken manure

Use guano as part of an organic soil mix from the start. Along with bone meal, chicken manure, feather meal, and rock dust, guano provides a broad spectrum of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals for the cannabis plant. Try this recipe for bountiful cannabis growth.

2. Watered-in as a tea

Probably the most convenient way of adding guano to your garden. Here’s a recipe:

• Use 1 tablespoon of guano per litre of water
• Use warm water, not hot! You will kill the microorganisms
• Stir the water as you add the guano
• Leave to rest overnight
• Use once per week to guarantee lush growth
• Try to use chlorine-free water for this recipe. You can either use distilled water or simply boil some tap water for 15 minutes and then allow it to cool. You can also make a bat guano tea bag to help the nutrients leach out into the solution. Wrap your bat guano in a ball of cheesecloth and seal with an elastic band. Use a stick to keep it pinned down to the bottom of the container overnight.

3. Applied directly as a soil amendment

Add guano to the soil for a boost in plant performance. Here’s how:

• Dig it in (under the mulch) so that it activates properly
• It will dry, clump, and not work as effectively if only sprinkled on the surface
• Water-in well

4. Apply as a compost tea

You can use bat guano to make a more nutritionally charged compost tea. To make this nourishing elixir, you’ll need:

• Large bucket
• Air stone
• 5 litres non-chlorinated water
• 65g fully finished compost
• 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
• 5 tablespoons bat guano

Add all of the ingredients into the bucket and stir thoroughly. Turn on the air stone and let it aerate the solution for 48 hours. During this time, aerobic beneficial microbes will colonise the sugars in the nutrient-rich mixture. Dilute 1 part compost tea to 10 parts water and apply it as a foliar spray or soil drench to supercharge the soil food web and enhance flower production.
