Yeah it's fine. Let it air out. That smell is how it is supposed to be. Kind of sour ammonia... I upped the concentrations so it's just a little stronger.

what about the EWC??

 

[larebowm]

Dont have any atm.guess i could go buy some.

 

[larebowm]

would there be much benefit adding ewc to the humic acid?

Hey cap. I'm thinking of getting some swirskii mites as a preventative for my broad mite problem. Do you think foliar feeding with full strength tea would harm the swirskii mites??

 

[babyhughie586]

roughly how many gallons of tea can you brew with the 8oz packet?? im trying to figure out how much to get to try it out in my undercurrent rdwc for one full cycle.. My undercurrent is a 8gal 8 bucket system with the 8 gal epicenter so roughly 65 gallons total water in the system..

Also when i brew it if i dont use the whole 5 gallons of tea should i just throw away the excess tea?? or will it be good for 7 days still bubbling so i can then use the remaining in my next application..

Last question, is their anything i can do to make the tea better once in my UC?? i thought i read somewhere of people putting lava rocks or something in their epicenter so the bennies could colonize.. I may be wrong though, i cant totally remeber where i read it... Thanks Cap or anyone else that may know the answers to these questions

Yes, the castings are important and no, humic acid does not replace them. The worm castings are another source of live microbes.

An 8 oz packet will make 15 gallons of tea.

You can make less tea than 5 gallons. You can make just one gallon if you need to. 65 gallons @ 1 cup tea per 5 gallons is 13 cups, roughly a gallon. Just cut the ingredients accordingly and use a pitcher instead of a bucket.

15 gallons of tea would last you 15 weeks in theory. I would brew 2 gallons and use some to water in the crowns full concentrate, so one 8oz bag should last a full cycle.

That residue is fine. Just don't spray past week 4. At least, I don't like to spray past week 4. If you let it settle longer after mixing, you can avoid a lot more of the talc carrier.

 

[jcash]

Cool! Will make sure I start waiting 10-15min b4 I spray thnx O.G.

No not yet, but we should have a distributor at some point. It's a process getting everything legit.
