Now we're getting intamate...
Here's my 5 gal brewer. I used air stones instead of my PVC manifold. I used a 1/8 drill bit to make the holes in the manifold, but I feel that they're to big. Next time I'm gonna drill using a #64 bit fwiw.
This brew contained:
(Per gallon of unchlorinated h20)
1/4 cup Organic Solutions EWC
1/4 cup Organic Solutions Vermachar
1/4 cup Bu's blend compost
1/4 Tsp Beneficial Biologics Kelp Logic
1/4 Tsp Beneficial Biologics Humalogic
1/4 tsp
Technaflora Seaweed soluble extract
20 mls HiBrix molasses
After about 8 hours I added 20 mls of more molasses (i feel that too much at once can brew too much of one bacteria/fungi, adding in intervals reduces the abundance of a food source. This is my theory, not proven by research or any type of scientific backing, well it maybe, but i havent read about it yet...)
-I also add my OG Biowar Root Pack @ 1/4 Tbsp/gal at this point
if i have time and its convenient, i will through 1/8 cup of insect frass into my tea with about 4 hours left to brew. I did not do this on this tea.
just before the brew is finished, i add anywhere from 10-20mls of molasses to feed microbes in the tea and in my medium as well. i judge the smell of my brew for a conclusion of how much more to add. If it smells sweet and sugary, that usually means there is already enough in there.
I spike this tea with General Hydro's
Floralicious Plus (i usually use
Sea Green but i was out and have a shit load of these samples to go through. Same shit imo)
sounds complex, but this is simple, i tend to my teas before i leave for work, and when i get back sometimes later, but its usually anywhere from 8-12 hours into my brew.
I brew for around 18-24 hours unless im brewing for fungi/bacteria dominance.
Heres a couple pics of my cute lil brewerrr
5 gal bucket, 4 gals unchlorinated h20. Eco air 1 pump + four stones. Pvc is better to maintain but u gotta drill small as fuck holes to get the small bubble to create more "turbulence in a brew" <<helps reduce "dead zones"
if ur using air stones, be sure to keep em clean of biofilm/anaerobic bacteria by letting them soak in an enzyme mix
i used about 5 mls of an enzyme to these cups of h20
Now some pics of my Office/veg racks/clone racks/storage... efficiency is what im striving for on this!!lol
now u can see the stages at work. still gotta put the finishing touches to my veg/ clone rack. Putting 4 Sun blaze 41's under there, i like to space em out unlike the sunblaze 44 where each bulb is crammed together.
welp that a quick run down of how the operation works over here in Skünatown
peace, love & herb
