Bat guano is great and hard to over fert.

what do you mean by hard to over fert... we are looking into the amounts of nutes to give it at diff times but from what i have heard its good to give nutes high on N at the begining then when it starts to bud you want to give it more potassium ? is that right? if so then what kind of nute would we use for budding stages?? also does anyone have the link to a site where i could learn more about how to properly give the nutrients to the plants because i really dont want to over nute it then flush it cuz isnt that bad for the plants PH lvls?

The levels of P-K really do not need to change. The plant uses a bit more P in flowering but does not mean you need more. Switching numbers can cause stress. Since N is tasted in plants more it is best in my opinon to gradually cycle off from a 16-5-11 to a 8-5-11 at the end of the cycle. Plants use the most N then K then P and have the ability to store P more then either of the others. It is best to feed at a constant to reduce stress.

ok that sounds right ... now if i were to go with a bat guano that is a 10-1-1 is it not? and if so then what do i move to in my flowering stages?
