- Down to Earth Seabird Guano is a five pound box of all natural fertilizer with 0-11-0 formula and is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in organic production
- Can be mixed into the soil or applied as a liquid to dramatically increase both the amount and size of blooms throughout the flowering period for all indoor and outdoor plants
- Strawberries, melons, vegetables and all types of flowers will benefit from mid-season applications to improve yields, quality and flavor while also enhancing the beneficial bacteria activity in your garden soil
- As one of the three big nutrients for plants, phosphorous plays a role in both root and bloom development, which helps produce high-quality fruit and flowers
- Phosphorus helps plants take to new soil by boosting root development and with strong root development means plants will grow faster and be healthier because they can absorb more water and nutrients from the soil

So i figured I'd share an update on the thread i created yesterday (thanks to all that offered their insight!)
Hopefully this could be of benefit to others experiencing something similar. I ran two different pH tests, both came out fully neutral. Check that off the list.
As you can see plenty of N, what looks like maybe low K (hard to tell based on the color grid) and absolutely ZERO Phosphorus. :(
If you look back on the original post and the pictures provided there it was almost to the "T" what pH stress would look like, but certainly was not. The yellowing in sploches, the purpling of the stems to leaves, and the droppy and brittle main stalk certainly are indicators of a deficiency in P. Also another observation that may be of benefit to others is that it wasn't until I added the Gypsom salt (Cal/Sul) that the splotches of the seedlings really came out. So starting with minerals may not always be the answer, and getting back to the basics of NPK assessment after pH might be the best road to take.
SOOOOO that leaves me needing to get some highly available, water-soluable P into this dirt. What recommendations do you have that will lend a hand naturally to getting this corrected pretty quickly? I know Bone Meal, and Bat Guano are good for that. I do Compost teas with vermicompost almost weekly, so I'm shocked it would be this low. Looking for something that is P dominant that has very little to no N, and maybe a bit of K.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Maybe some Seabird Guano is the answer? https://www.amazon.com/Down-Earth-Phosphorus-Seabird-0-11-0/dp/B016A8Y3FS/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=bat+guano&qid=1573689740&sr=8-4
2nd EDIT: One last observation I thought was important was in relation to adding calcium (via gypsum salt +sulphur) before finding out it was a P deficiency caused rapid onset of discoloration (leses than 24hrs). I assume this as something to do with the salts taking up space, or in the very least causing additional ions in the soil to be interferring with uptake of other nutrients? Not sure still learning more everyday about amazing world of soil. But the observation is a good one none the less, b/c nothing but gypsum and water had been offered in the last 3 days.
