You almost have it down.

You will brew the foliar pack and root pack for 24 hours. You can go to 48, but I suggest 24 for a more diverse tea. You can use the tea as a drench or a spray, or preferably both. Just let the tea settle for 5 minutes before you take the liquid off the top to apply. I will brew a tea and then apply it to the crown of the plant (full concentrate), add it to the reservoir @ 1cup per 5 gallons, and then foliar feed with it at a 1:1 ratio of tea and water that has been treated so there is no chlorine in it (either let it sit out overnight, or use a dechlorinating filter).

The foliar pack has species that are good both in the media and on the leaves and stems. Best to be sprayed in the evening because the fungi and bacteria will germinate better at higher RH.

thanks for the reply! rlly helpful. so i basiclly understand, with just 3 last questions.

so when you say the bacteria will germinate better in higher rh, is that a good thing? only asking because i dont exactly know when the evening is in my grow room, but i can increase my humidity in my room when i want so basiclly im asking if your saying that the humidity needs to be high when im foliar feeding?

secondly, if i brew with the foliar and root pack, i can still foliar feed? or does it have to be a separate tea with just the foliar pack brewd in it?

and its 8oz tea for every 5gallons of water? or 8oz of tea for every 10 gal of water? only aking because i read somewhere that its 8oz per 10gal so im just trying to make sure i have the correct instructions?

thanks for the help!

Rh is generally higher at night. Yes higher RH is better when applying.

you can brew them together. Doesn't have to be separate. The microbes will work shit out on their own and find a balance.

It's 1-2 cups per 5 gallons.

Awesome man! A lot of folks have told me that the packs have been very good at clearing up phantom deficiencies and lockouts. I believe that was the reason jackmayoffer was sold on them when I first was trying to get people to go in with me like a year and a half ago.

I only use the pump for 1 minute every hour to keep things nice and mixed up.
I really like the wand that pushes air way down into the tea bag. keeps everything broken up and aerated. I'd be glad to answer any questions Z.

nope. Im using an alita AL-80 air pump that i took from my old undercurrent system. the orange pump is my water pump. I have it set to run for 1 minute every hour. I deliver the air through the wand. It goes all the way to the botttom of my tea bag.

no problem ill get it done later this week. the whole unit only cost me around $450 to build. I already had the badass air pumps though, Alita air pumps are kinda spendy. Ive built two of them so far.
