it has been know to do this yes, but it can take around 6 days for infection to occur. This is why the tea as a foliar is a good preventative.
full strength is ful strength. If you dont have bugs its probably not necessary, but you can't overdue it since it is not a fertilizer and has no salts. Best way to kick the roots in to overdrive is apply as usual, and don't overwater!hey Cap i've been thinking bout giving my girls some tea full strength, most likely prob 4 me last time was i hit hugo block with a 32 OZ. cup of full strength....maybe 2 much?
so what u recommend i hit a 2 gal pot of coco with? got some girls i trans planted a lil to early n i want to kick roots into over drive. Thanks
When doing preventitive maintainance for mites do you spray when lights are off top and bottom of the leaf?
Also Cap what strength do recomend when doing foiler spraying with the tea?
Thanks brother for a great product.

Yes. full strength is perfect for spraying. Night time is great because RH is up. Higher RH (60ish+) is best. Just remember to let it settle and take/pour the liquid off the top to avoid the talc carrier.
You're welcome!
yea no joke on the apply as usual, i had been making teas but not using em cuz of 1 reason or another n i noticed te dif. Thanks for ur reply
so if i let tea settle, i won't need to filter it?
when you guys are using teas and feeding. i saw Cap saying a few pages back his schedule was something like feed -feed- water- feed- tea. ive always used the big companies for feeding such as GH or Fox Farm, so the whole tea thing is very new to me. id assume since there is synthetic stuff it wouldnt be good for all the living microbes and such. so basically what are you using for feeding? thanks
no need to filter if you let it settle for a few minutes, and take the liquid off the top.
I usually dump my tea into a diluted res and lay the sludge down as a top dressing....shit works wonders..
Question: If I brew 2 gallons of concentrate what would be the appropriate amount of castings and molasses needed to keep those bennies happy without using/wasting any of it?
Reason I ask is im running low on EWCs and Molasses and I need to top dress and brew a tea with the EWCs and I'm currently too much of a tight ass to go buy some more...
i've brewed tea successfully without worm castings, but not without molasses. some bacteria may require the EWCs but i'd say molasses is more important. as far as how much, you can get by with spoonfuls of castings and i'd say for the molasses 15 ml/gal will get you by, if you brew for 2 days, but 25 ml/gal is ideal. I know some people who do a 48 hr brew, adding 15 ml/gal one day and 10 ml/gal the next.

whats all this strain-your-tea talk? I have never strained my tea, or let it settle - i find that most of the white powder sets to the bottom of my can (i'm using one of those brute trashcans made for the dollies- they have a raised center, all the talc powder usually goes off to the grooves in the sides and is thick like clay...usually have to scrape it out.
before I made tea and was using the packs straight i would let it settle and skim off the top...but if you make tea aren't you straining out some of the bigger cultures?
molasses is more important than EWC when using the packs withotu a doubt. I use 20-25 mL / gal.
