looking at the ingredient listed on the FFOF bag

they list guano

so im going to take a wild guess and make some assumption that maybe there soil its lighter more aerated because theyre using high N guano to boost the N and not as much compost

that would make sense given the N in the FFOF runs hot for a few weeks and then runs out

Is the guano in ffof high in N?
They use a fossilized bat guano, isn't that a high P guano?

Fossilized Guano is high P and virtually no N.

looked at the bag

it does say fossilized

so if the guano is P then my next guess is the emulsion must be a good aprt of the N source

which would make sense given the order in which there listed on the label

next time I brew some tea im going to dampen the soil and add some high N fish emulsion to offset the loss of N in the not adding additional compost

if I end up light on N I got mex guano and fish if need be

but im hoping the feather meal will make up the difference and get me later into bloom before they ask for more N
