Hey farmers I'm not positive if this is the best place for this thread but it seems like this section is the closest to what I'm asking. I've been reading in the forum about teas and caps bennies for the past couple weeks and am still not quite sure on a couple of things.
I'll give you guys a little backround on my growing "style" I guess you'd call it. I have a small 4 plant 400 watt setup and grow from seed. I like to pop them in light warrior in beer cups for about 2.5 weeks or so then transplant into a mix of about 3/4 bag light warrior to 1 bag of roots organic original soil with 1 bag of perlite. I will then veg for another 3 weeks then flip. I use distiller water from supermarket because I have a water softener in my house.
Basically I don't like my current regimen of feeding in flower and has led to early yellowing my last 2 runs and also want to go the organic route so figured I'd look into teas.
Now I understand how to brew a tea and have seen plenty of basic recipes such as worm casting molasses maybe some kelp and the bennies. But can I also use the teas as a nutrient feed instead of just mixing my bottled nutes into distilled and watering? (Bio bizz bio bloom). I always seem to be unsure of how much to use and how much camag to use. Not to mention the GO CaMg I use brings the distilled water ph down to 5 so I'm always hesitant even though I've heard you don't need to ph with organics but I'm not confident that my feeding regimen is "organic enough" to not worry about ph and if I use caps bennies I'll be confident I have enough beneficial bacteria for ph to not be an issue.
So how would I go about a nutrient source? Should I amend the soil more than it already is? And with what? I only veg for 3 weeks in it once transplanted out of light warrior then flower. Or should I not amend and add ewc,kelp,guano etc (whichever are beneficial for flower) to the tea and feed that way through flower? Or could I utilize the bio bloom in a tea as a nutrient source?
I'm sorry if rambled or repeated myself a bit. I plan on buying the roots and nute pack and saw a product called earth syrup from progress earth which is a molasses based powder but have a bunch of other goodies in it such as whey, fish powder, humates, soft rock phosphates, fether meal, worm castings, kelp, diomatacious earth, yucca, and mycos.
Happy farming!
