Tea Recipe

even still, you'll always notice better results foliar feeding in high humidity with lights out. I usually turn off the lights, water in the dark, and foliar spray right after. lights on two hours later.

ZERO light for two hours, or low light?

I usually leave like, a desk lamp or little t5 on just so I can see what I'm doing, but yeah I turn off all high-intensity light sources. No need to go blackout though a little light is a good thing when foliar spraying.

Overcast.... makes sense. Tks we

yep pretty much trying to simulate a thunderstorm...gets dark, ground gets wet, leaves get wet. maybe put a subwoofer on the table...

That's what I've been doing. Turn off the 1000's and leave my t5's on, then go back and turn them on a couple hours later.

I like spraying the leaves before lights on.. i think it mimics the morning dew

good place to buy seagreen?? thoughts on humus soil?

for unrooted clones, seedlings, rooted clones.. should I use all 3? or just 2 of the packs??? such as just the nute and the root packs. (for non-teas. just 1 gallon jug and shake)

even though your suppose to use it as a sprinkle.. can i still use the nute pack for 1 gallon jug mix?

my teas been at 6.1-6.2 since last night, i had everything around 6.5, n added alfalfa meal n it went down.

8-10 hr's left for the 24 hr mark, is that an acceptable ph range?

i'm used too 7. something by this time, 1st time using alfalfa meal didn't know it drops ph

also what would 1 use to raise ph in a tea?

dont use anything to raise or lower pH of already brewed tea.

mix the packs in some pH'd water, and soak the cubes in that. water again 10 days later with a newly mixed solution. Hopefully most of them will be showing roots by then.

CAP, I was thinking! I notice you have been examining the slides of the brewed tea for Bio Life. But, do you think you could take a sample of soil under the slide and examine it at different stages, hell daily would be awesome but weekly should do!

5-10 mL

I spray with lights on because I did it and did not burn my plants. I don't recommend it because I do not want to be blamed for anything.

Good to cover your butt, but I've said many times before that it rains during the day and plants seem to do fine. Tea brewed this way has a pretty low nutrient content--it's mostly organisms. I can't see how light+organisms would cause issues.

Strictly speaking this is an extremely imprecise way to do this.

I've brewed tea 3 times now. this last time was the first time I've gotten this heavy white foam on the top of my tea. only difference was this time I heated my 4 gallons of water with an aquarium heater to 78 degrees. previous teas were brewed with water in the 61-64 degree range. guess temps make a big difference!!!
loving the tea so far!!! had some roots starting to poke out of my smart pots. feed tea yesterday and today LOTS of roots poking out of pots!!! :D

That looks ok to me. Make sure you follow the instructions on how much to foliar feed each of those additional products so that you do'nt over do it. When in doubt, test an area of the canopy before going balls out.
