All4, Shady, thank you guys much. I do enjoy ur threads equally! I wish my camera skills were better but I know my camera is in pretty sad shape.
On the tea, I read too much, it was crazy. Info came from several places. On r.i.u I found a thread called "Hiesenbergs tea" or something like, it had 1100+ posts. I read about 30 pages and got a good feeling. Also here, gettogro and Cap have a lot of info in their threads and specify what, why, and how to use the ingredients. One thing I got out of it, is for water culture, do not use myco or any fungi, as its not gonna help.
I started with wonder worm earthworm castings, aquashield (some say not necessary), hi-brix, and added ancient forest humics and fulvics, later when I found em.
Any quality worm cast is fine. 1 cup per gallon.
aquashield 5ml per gallon, sup to feed on pythium and why I added it. doesnt hurt to.
Hi-brix was to feed the microbes in the tea. .5 tblsp per gallon. Any molasses is fine too.
Ancient forest adds all types of natural goodness. 1 cup per gallon.
all this is in r.o water and measurements per gallon of tea.
I add all mine to a shitty old socks Im sure still have soap in them, tie in a knot and toss in my 5 gallon bucket. I use an extra line off my alita and it bubbles and works perfect. I also know that its 1 cup per Uc total gallon for repair dosage, but 1 cup per 10 gallons for maintenance. I have used a couple diff ewc now and only used the ancient forest 2 times. I think the reality is that ewc in the, tea by itself is the silver bullet. The rest is just additional goodies. I do have one plant acting funny but these been thru the ringer! I really dont measure exactly and kinda use a simplified version. Hit Cap up and ask him for a link to order his bene's as well. They are the shit and he uses a ewc tea from start to finish in his MPB'S with good success. He really helped me out and guided me on a good program. Sterile is just not realistic for me.
Hope this info may help brotha.
peace, H4oo.
