Fish Shit!

[BISCUITS]

i got a sample of this and was wondering if anyone on here is using it.? It is literally tilapia fish shit collected from aquaponic holding tanks and is supposed to be full of good microbes and contains no npk. It is probably the worst smelling stuff in a bottle that I have encountered and that includes Pegasus potion from NFG’s. I am going to test it on a plant to see for myself. If anyone is interested in this go to fishheadfarms.com and request a sample to try it yourself.

I haven’t tried it yet, or even opened it, but I got 3 sample bottles from a hydro shop. Seems like it’d be good. I wonder how it’d (small dose) be as part of a tea recipe?

Been using stuff like this for years it works great an there's quite a few brands all very similar.When I first started growing I would use emulsions like crazy now I use a lot less an make more complex teas .

Fish emulsion works well for young seedlings and vegetative growth. It has a decent amount of nitrogen and microbes, and wont burn your plants. A lot of people seem to be moving to fish hydrolysate for the added calcium, but good old fashioned fish poop still works well. You can add it to your AACT to increase the microbial activity, but I'd wait and add it in the last like 6 or 8 hours of the brew because it makes the brew really slimy and stinky if you brew it longer than that.

The difference between fish emulsion & fish hydrolysate is the fish oil. Fish Hydrolysate still contains the oil and is undiluted, and so is a richer food source for beneficial microbes and especially beneficial fungi in the soil.
Fish hydrolysate is concentrated, and when diluted can be used ideally as soil fertliser, and added to compost piles or worm farms. It contains a wide spectrum of major nutrients and trace elements in organic, plant available form. Hydrolysate I use for me soil , For watering I use the water out of this fish pond .

Fish emulsion,fish hydolysate and this fish shit are three completely different things. It is like saying manure is similar to bone meal. They both come from cows but are worlds apart. This fish shit is collected from Aquaponics tilapia farm tanks and is just poop and whatever lives on it. Absolutely zero npk listed on the bottle and smells like well it smells like fish shit! It is supposed to increase terpene and trichome production like everything else these days. I am testing it on a seedling and vegging plant no flowering plants just yet til I see how the girls like it. The plants seem very happy but my plants are usually pretty happy if I stay out of their way and maintain the basics of TLO. This bacteria must be anaerobic I would think it doesn’t list any species on the bottle either so I will have to look into it.

My thinking is it is like concentrated aquarium water which the Rev recommends in his book.

Also I only add like a few drops maybe a ml per gal at the most.

Testing for yourself is the best way to , you will find what you are happy with , all have there applications to suit your style of growing . I found this for you .
