Id like to thank you for replying to this. I saw the last post date and was wondering if this was still active or not. What kind of shelf life will this mixture have after first makin it? Made a batch today and didn't quite use half of it. Was curious if the bacteria would still be alive in a couple days or so.
Also have one last question, when using aliens tea recipe, can that batch as well be used for foliar? Is 1/4 - 1/2 cup per gallon seem to strong for the application rate? Its bubblin out right now and plan on using it tomorrow root drench and foliar if I can
Thanks again

Ok so my garden shop has ogbiowar 8oz packs. I've been wanting them but never order online unless I can mail cash. (Which I probably could of n never asked) I couldn't resist grabbing some. But now I'm concerned cuz I have chlorinated water. I could use ro for the tea but I've got to many dwc buckets running to use anything but tap water. Will the chlorine evaporate enough in a day or two to add the tea after that? Or am I just going to be killing everything off.
Are you saying that using the HiBrix is wasting the tea? Ive been using it but am I not brewing to my full potential?Hi brix is too acidic.
YES.
Agave nectar will work, but I do not know if it has as many minerals... as a food source it should be alright though.
Ken there are so many spores that technically you can just mix with water and apply and get great results. the short brew is for max diversity. The long brew is for max population, but inevitably less diversity as some species may outpopuplate others as they all compete for food and O2.

So you add water and molasses and then ph the water ? I have just been throwing the castings in with the molasses letting it bubble up for a lil then adding the scoops. Are you saying that I'm missing a step? I should be adding molasses then phing the h2o?It's not a waste but using unsulphured black strap molasses is cheaper and not so acidic. When I was using hi brix I always had to add pH up before adding any bennies.

Thanks for your help I've just moved through my second kilo and love it! Had to switch over some of my buddies that love it too, my grow store even carries it now!
She's my sweet lil baby
I like the hibrix b/c I use hard tap water and the acidity from the brix works in my favor.... to each his own tho
Thanks againWhen I was using RO I always had to add pH up... when using hi brix. It has quite a bit of P acid in it. Grandmas molasses from the grocery store works great. You only need to pH the water BEFORE adding bennies if the pH is too low or too high. 6.5-7.5 is good, but when I was adding hi brix to RO I would be at around 4.3 and that was too low.
Yeah in tap it would probably be fine. When I used it was when I was an RO guy... and I have long since switched to tap. I do not adjust pH of my tea now. My tap is around 7.3 so that's perfect.
Hey Cap, what's your take on AN's Carboload as a substitute for molasses?
@Capulator @HeadKracker
Quick question Cap, HK and I were rappin bout Organics and Teas, once you've mixed Mollasses and Water and you PH, I think you recommended to 6.5-7.5, is that to benefit microbe growth or for plant feed/uptake, when you add bennies does it cause the ph to flucuate?
So essentially the tea is PH perfect for microbes if not using an acidic sugar/molasses?microbe growth. Once in the substrate the microbes and rhizoshpere will largely dictate the substrate pH to sustain ideal parameters.

Been rocking biowar for almost two years with great success, most of the time. I have been focusing on other issues and have not had the time to dedicate to learning all about organics. I have two concocations that i brew but do not know if i am mixing all the right things. Any advice would be great.
