COMPOST TEA PPM???????

[still_mikigan]

I thought i was making a really gentle/light compost tea consisting of
3 tsp seabird guano
½ tbs blood meal
1 tsp bat guano
1 tbs rose n flower
within 3 gallons of water

I PPM'd the run off and it was something 1446. DID I JUST BURN MY PLANT? Up to this point it has only been fed distilled water ph'd to 6.5. strain is voodoo child

Thank You

Im not sure if there's a difference for soil/hydro ppm but I run my hydro plants in flower above 1600. I have one now in the 1700 range. Also...if I am not mistaken, the PPM would actually even be higher since it was run off you tested and not what was going into the plant.

You will be fine if this is the only time you did this. blood meal and bat/bird guano run hot. Best to keep them at a rate no grater then 1 Tsp (total) per gallon of water so drop it down to

1.5 Tsp Seabird Guano
.5 Tsp Blood Meal
1 Tsp Bat Guano
1 Tbs Rose n Flower

That should put you right at 700 - 900 PPM after 24 hour brew

Or add another 2 gallons of water to the original amounts
