if i were to use your tea recipe in a UC, would i add 1 cup of brewed tea per gal of water thats been PH and nutes added ? how long once a tea is brewed will it keep ? will it keep longer if it can be refrigerated or will that make it go dormant ?
1 cup of tea per 5 gallons of water in the UC.
Tea needs to be used right away (I say after 12-24 hours of brewing)
Don't refrigerate. Use fresh.
You can probably get away with cuttign ingredients and brewing just a gallon or 2.
Are you changing water every week or do you let it ride only doing top offs?
I've taken to brewing 2 Liters at a time. I just didn't need that much more
What are you using for this? I bet that a lot of smaller scale growers would benefit from your set up. I thought a gallon pitcher would be perfect.
i let it ride for as long as i can ,only doing top offs . what would you suggest using your tea ?1 cup of tea per 5 gallons of water in the UC.

Capulator, I just shared your site on my Facebook. Is there a widget that allows it to show a thumbnail? Your little Microbial-warrior would be awfully cute. ;) :D
Which reminds me, my kids need a feed of the Nute Pack! Got it going yesterday.
cap i need to pick your brain for a minute . if everything seems to be running in harmony can you tell me why you fell the need to make weekly or biweekly change out ?Well, I think that even though UC says you can go a whole run without doing a changeout, some of the bigger players change their nuts weekly. I run an MPB (similar concept) and I change out the water weekly, and sometimes bi weekly.
Fuck YEAH! Social media can drive up sales greatly, and your pricing structure is very affordable for all levels, IMO, so I'd like more patients to know about your products. :DFACEBOOK!?!?! I don't know about a widget I'm old school. I'll ask my web guy.

Red Volcanic Lava Rock from Mojave Desert . if i put something like this in a strainer bag would this be sufficient enough for colonizing ?If it ain't broke don't fix it. Do your thing!!!
I change weekly on habit. Been doing it for 15 years or so. The old hydro rule is that you should change the water when the plants have drank 2/3 of the capacity of the system. Could be an old wives tale or a general rule of thumb...
I am no expert. I think if you can find a balance you have nailed it. You may want to look in to biofilters or even bags with washed lava to place in the epicenter. This will give bennies something to colonize. They will need a food source, so if you are using CS you will need to also add a small amount of molasse.
What I would do is crown feed full strength only at first enough to saturate, maybe a cup or 2 per site. See where that takes you.
You may want to ask desert squirrel or UCMENOW or someone with more experience in changeouts, or even CC. I know on the bottle there is a recommended dose for weeks 1-8, which to me implies a weekly changeout. Unless you have sophisticated sensors and can monitor individual ppms of NPK Ca etc.. its kind of a crapshoot to know what the plants are using and what they arent.. IMHO

i don't want to be a pain in the ass But , i want to get this right . would bio-filter media ball be sufficient ?yes.
