What nutrients do you feed brother? Sexy ass garden i love it!

 

[MendoGiantZ]

That's a great question. I am right in the middle of completely redoing my feeding to a micronized tea system from my friend in Ukiah called cream of the crop. I am going to connect two 300 gallon Rubbermaid tubs together so I have a total of 600 gallons at the garden. From what I understand I will brew my tea at least 24 hours before I want to use it and apply it once a weak along with his grow nutrient mixture called catapult. This should get me up until the transition phase of flowering when I will slowly decrease the grow and start adding his finishing nutrient that is meant to work with his tea as well.

I will be buying in bulk from my friend and he said he will hook up an extra 25 percent off since he grew up right next to my parents cabin in little river that we used to have.

Sure would love to know thee ingredients to that mixture! Damn 600 gallons ! Nice

His grow line that is supposed to be used along side his microbe feeding consists of -Alfalfa,fish hydrolstate,crab meal, kelp meal, humid/fulvic acid, amino acids, green sand..

 

[MendoGiantZ]

his microbe feeding for the tea consists of humus ,castings, colloidal clay ,compost , and high grade water soluble Mycorrhizae. ..all water soluable..

I use alaska fish fertilizer , could that be equal to hydrostate? I have 50lbs of fine rock dust, have you ever put that in a tea?

Not sure if you know, but fugal spores cannot be water soluble......

Im not sure if its equal to the alaskan fish but I have a feeling its pretty similar.. So far this year I have been using my regular feeding stuff.. PH Down, fish, seaweed, a basic grow nutrient- either botanicare or age old organics grow... I always use a bunch of cal mag as well. For the Deps I have done ph down water and cal mag along with two top feedings- one with bone meal and the Mocha bat guano from sparetime supply in willits... The second was a heavier application of the remainder of my 2000 pound bag of growilla bud I ordered for just over 1$ per pound.. -amazing price

Growilla Bud is a natural and organic plant food for use during the bloom phase of fruiting and flowering plants. This potent blend of high quality ingredients contains the essential elements needed from transition to harvest.

Multiple sources of guano, earthworm castings, fish meal, and other natural inputs provide a wide range of food sources for plants and beneficial microbes. Growilla Bud was designed to be simple and effective, safely delivering what plants need for enhanced flower development, improved soil structure, and increased nutrient uptake. Use Growilla Bud as a standalone plant food in your garden or with your favorite bloom supplements. Growilla Bud's natural formula excels in containers, raised beds, and can be tilled into native soil.

I could totally be wrong.. but he was recommended to me by my worker and he knows a couple of my buddies in mendo.. His website is barely put together and he isn't well known because he is just starting out but I have faith.. The only thing on his web page right now is
WE SPECIALIZE IN 100% WATER SOLUABLE MICRONIZED COMPOST TEA PRODUCTS, ORGANIC, AMENDMENTS & BULK SOIL
- Two of my friends have used his products and said its amazing and the only tea they can run threw their emitters.... I could be wrong and I hope for any advice or negative points you can make--

There is another very successful tea place located close to me in sonoma county that I have done some research with and I think I am going to give my buddy a shot

Mycorrhizal fungi won't survive the brewing process, there's no point to using them in aerated compost teas. They are symbiotic in nature and require contact with plant roots to grow and multiply, and are totally different than the fungi found in a good ACT. You could probably add some of the soluble Mycorrhizal into your diluted tea right before you apply it, but brewing with it is a waste of money. Mycorrhizal work best if you have them in your growing media or if you dust your root ball with them when you transplant (my prefered method).

Agreed, i used to brew mycorrhizae in tea, not anymore, now I'll top dress or add right before i feed!

 

[MendoGiantZ]

I have always dusted the root balls of the plants right before I transplant them.

So I went and met up with my buddy and am gonna give his whole nutrient line a shot. If anyone has any pointers I'm all ears. I got a pickle barrel and a seventy pint airator. I have three air stones in there that are the shape of a soda can. ( this is what he Thought would be best. ).

 

[MendoGiantZ]

He said to fill up a 5 gallon bucket and add 2 cups of molasses and stir it up when adding the water. Do this three times with the molasses and then dump all the buckets into the pickle barrel. Next do that same thing but this time use his microbe mixture instead of the molasses. This comes out to 30 gallons of tea in the pickle barrel. He said let it brew for at least 24 hours and then add either the bloom for the light dep or his grow if I want to water my veg plants.
