And I can see that you've been doing that. How difficult was it to just get the EPA number & listing?

I could have sworn I saw registration information on your product somewhere, so I assumed you'd jumped through all those hoops and popped the money-frogs. I like that I don't have to report using it to the state because of what's NOT in it.
Just got some samples out here in fresno, good to see your products available or soon to be available locally!
Yes the packaging looks sweet i dig it, i could use something like that! anyhow that shop owner is brewing some ogbiowar tea gonna pick some up friday see what it can do for me! Thx!Ya mon the new packs look really good. No more biohazzard symbol. That got old for me quick. Sometimes we have what we think is a good idea and when it's all said and done... well... you know.
My ex-husband has the biohazard symbol tattooed on his leg. <facepalm> I tried to tell him.

LMAO! No, that was my first husband. Second husband is the one who was fooled by a Thai lady-boy, and has the biohazard symbol tattooed on his leg.Is this the same one who said he knew he loved you after he couldn't get it up with the hooker? LOL. :banghead:
Due to the fact the bacterial cultures start to replicate within 4-8 hours of application, and fungal cultures will take 12-16 hours to germinate, the best way to apply the bennies is by brewing a tea for 24 hours.
EDIT: IF you are in soil, you only need to add the nute pack once as early as possible in the plant life cycle, and again when you pot up to a bigger size. It is better to apply as a powder, not in tea, and mix at the rate of 1/4 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon per gallon of soil to your plants as early as possible, and every time you transplant up.
Here is a tea recipe copied from ICMAG, with my own twist, that will put your plants in to a happy state of being.
1) Add 4 gallons non-chlorinated water a 5 gallon bucket.
2) Add 50 - 100 ml of liquid carboload, sweet raw, hibrix, regular black strap molasses, or any other liquid carb product of your choice.
3) pH solution to 6.5-7.0
3) Fill a stocking with a couple handfuls of earth worm castings. Tie this off and let it float in the solution like a tea bag.
4) Add 1 tablespoon per gallon of each the root and foliar packs.
4) Bubble with an air stone and air pump for 24 hours.
5)Unplug air. Strain again with a cheesecloth, or let settle and take off the top.
5) Dilute 1-2 cups per 10 gallons and add to the reservoir, or use as an individual drench. This works GREAT in a turbo or easy cloner, or even on your cuttings in a dome.
Now, the bacteria will die off no matter what if there is nothing for them to eat, so really you are killing bacteria all the time in a hydro setting, where there is no soil that is "breaking down"
These packs are a mix of a shitload of bacteria, but they rarely all go to work right away when they are applied. some make it and some don't, it depends on their environment and what they have to process. This is why you want to add 1x per week.
Additional goodies:
During Veg: Add a couple of handfuls of alfalfa meal in with the earth worm castings, to provide a great boost to plant vitality.
Apply tea once a week or every other week for best results during veg and flower
Can be used up to flush.
This will deter all soil borne pathogens and insects, if using the foliar pack. I have successfully used this tea to destroy a fungus gnat population and keep my roots white and pythium free. There are other farmers here that have used it to kill their root aphid infestations.
ENJOY!
i just got everything i need to start brewing some of caps tea, however im not sure what you mean by unchlorinated water?? does this mean i cant use tap water?? my tap water is 170ppm... i would like to start the brew tonight but i wont brew until i know for sure if using my tap water will be alright
excellent, thank you so much for the quick reply.. i have a 20 gallon rez with tap water that always has a couple airstones in it so ill use some of that water.. thanks again for the quick reply im going to start brewing right now.. :DIf you have the rig set up with air diffuser and such go ahead and fill it with the water and turn your air on. Leave it for 24 hours and this will dissipate the Chlorine. Yes your tap most likely has chlorine in it.
so if im growing in coco, should i add all 3 nute, root and foliar pack in the tea and brew?? also what is a stocking? its the second #3 in ur instructions.
The nute pack should be added separately due to the fact that mycorrhizae will not come out to play unless they are in the presence of plant roots. A stocking is a womans stocking. You can get them in pairs in hosery section of the drug store.
oh.. ok.. so once the worm castings and (optional) alfalfa meal are in the stocking, all you do is tie it and leave it in the tea while it brews for the next 24 hours? and then just take it out?
Also, does it have to brew for 24hours exactly? or can it be longer? i heard somewhere that your suppose to brew it for 48 hrs but 24hrs is the minimum.
so your only going to mix the roots pack and foliar pack and let it brew correct? and im alittle confused, the foliar pack, does it have to be applied via foliar feeding? because if so, then id be foliar feeding the girls with foliar pack and the root pack.. so would i have to brew a separate tea with just the foliar pack if i plan to foliar feed the girls? and a separate tea with both foliar pack and root pack if im going to use to water the girls?
thanks for the help. looking forward to trying this
