Due to gathering the natural resources from their natural environment, you can expect a nutrient-rich product that will provide everything any kind of plant needs, including cannabis plants, with excellent results.
So for those who are looking for a cheap and effective way to grow organically without much effort, we’ve come up with this article, here you’ll learn why you should use each product, how to use them, and the best feeding schedule for growing autoflowering and photoperiodic plants organically.
1. Solid Fertilizers
Guanokalong’s solid fertilizers provide your plants the tools for an excellent growth and flowering phase with 100% organic nutrients, enhancing no only the aroma but also the flavor of your harvest without too much hassle.
Palm tree ash
Palm tree ash is a vegan bloom booster highly suitable for plant cultivation due to being potassium-rich while having good amounts of phosphorus and magnesium, and due to the other elements it contains, helps control the pH of the soil.
| Nitrogen (N) | Phosphorus (P) | Potassium (K) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 10 | 30 |
Benefits
- Improves flower production;
- Ideal for fattening up buds;
- Helps keep pH in range.
Extra info
This product contains a lot of potassium which is one of the most important macronutrients a cannabis plant needs, this element helps regulate the opening and closing of the stomata which are the pores on cannabis leaves. These pores regulate the transpiration rates of the plant, which is how much water vapor is lost to the atmosphere. Plants only absorb between 1% and 3% of the water they absorb with the rest being lost through transpiration.
These pores play a role in the transpiration process and photosynthesis, so without potassium, your plant would not grow very well and would also have problems with water absorption and nutrient transportation. On top of these benefits, palm ash also contains good levels of phosphorus and magnesium. Let’s take a look at phosphorus first. This macronutrient benefits plants in a number of ways. It helps to promote early root growth, which is essential to success during the seedling phase and the early stages of the vegetative period. As you know, the more roots grow and the bigger they get, the more capable they become at uptaking oxygen, nutrients, and water. This element also improves crop hardiness and boosts water use efficiency. So, what about good old magnesium? We all know how important this element is in humans, but how does it benefit weed plants? Above all else, it literally forms the core of the chlorophyll molecule. Why is this so important? Because this is the very green pigment that allows plants to absorb light and convert it into the energy they need to live. Furthermore, magnesium also helps to activate enzymes and promote protein synthesis.
Guano powder
Guano powder is an excellent product, full of natural ingredients that improve flavor, quality, and flower production, resulting in strong and healthy growth due to the micronutrients and enzymes it contains while also providing all the macronutrients your plants need to thrive.
| Nitrogen (N) | Phosphorus (P) | Potassium (K) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 1 |
Benefits
- Better taste, aroma, and yields;
- Enhances root development;
- Reduces chances of nutrient burn due to releasing nutrients gradually;
- Produces denser, fatter flowers;
- Decreases the chance of nutrient burn issues through its slow release qualities;
- Can be stored for multiple growing seasons in a dark, dry area.
Extra info
This product contains a unique mix of enzymes, micro, and macronutrients with phosphorus being much more abundant, making it better suited for the flowering stage.
This element is super important to plants because it plays an important role in a plant’s basic functions and how it grows so providing good amounts of phosphorus will result in better and faster growth from seed to harvest. But guano doesn’t just feed the plants. Sure, it contains nutrients, but these are locked up in organic matter. Before these become available to plant roots down in the soil, they serve as food to beneficial microbes that cycle nutrients in the soil. But feeding these creates first, guano helps to maintain soil health and transport nutrients through the entire soil food web, from bacteria and fungi to protozoa and worms.
Veg pearls
Veg pearls, as the name says, are designed to provide the best vegetative growth possible due to being 100% organic and being rich in nitrogen. This product is a great alternative to manure and is made with sugar cane extract, resulting in incredible branch and leaf growth.
| Nitrogen (N) | Phosphorus (P) | Potassium (K) |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | 0 | 5 |
Benefits
- Better overall plant growth;
- Increases plant stress resistance;
- Improves soil life;
- Reduces watering requirements.
- Budget-friendly;
- Reduces over-feeding issues thanks to the slow release of the nutrients.
Extra info
This product provides nitrogen, this macronutrient is vital for a plant to grow green matter (such as branches and leaves), due to being 100% organic, you won’t have to deal with salt build-up thus reducing the risk of nutrient burn.
It also provides a lot of micronutrients and sugars to provide an ideal environment for beneficial microorganisms to live in, resulting in healthier growth and even frostier nugs with enhanced aromas and flavors.
Seaweed powder
Seaweed powder is a vegan microorganism booster designed for improving the beneficial microorganisms in your soil thanks to the elements it contains.
This product will not only provide macro and micronutrients but will also help retain water, allowing you to always keep the soil moist for the microorganisms to thrive.
| Nitrogen (N) | Phosphorus (P) | Potassium (K) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
Benefits
- Provides growth hormones for better root and plant growth;
- Protects from bacterial infections;
- Improves the substrate’s water retention;
- Fully vegan;

2. Liquid Fertilizers
The company’s liquid fertilizers are 100% organic and a great way to supplement the solid fertilizers mentioned above, these products provide the extra micro and macronutrients to feed your plants with every single nutrient they need to avoid any kind of nutrient deficiencies.
Kalong grow
