I bought some, and im not 100% sure how to apply it. Im kind of wanting to add it into my water with guano when I water. Will this work or should I just mix a couple tblspoons into the medium above the roots?

Yeah I wouldn't add it to the water. Add it to the soil.

do you think a couple table spoons would be ok for a 1 gal pot?

I'm currently plaaying with bone and blood meal I mixed throughout and I'm letting it compost for a month or so before use.

To a 1 gallon pot. I'd ad at most 1tbs if that. I'm not real fond of blood or bone meal. They both burn plants fairly easy and if your using a good guano they really are not needed.

not arguing with you but a lot of people I know say feeding guano via tea and having your soil composted with blood and bone meal for a month before use is the way to go
I guess it would be the same if not better to use guano and compost though

 This thread was moved from Marijuana Cultivation.
Reason:
More appropriate for the soil and organic nutrients forum.

depending on how it is processed it will contain more or less nitrogen and the less N the more safer, but slower it will be to breakdown into usable phosphorous.

I know guano and castings works pretty well.

good stuff
Yeah if money isn't a issue I'd probably avoid bone and blood meal but I don't think there is much of a difference if you use that in your starting soil and compost it.
