This is one hell of a thread! Just wanted to give a shout out to Cap for amazing products. Caps packs = game changer.
if im running roughly 16 gallons for DWC how do i dillute the recipe or can i just keep feeding the tea over the coarse of my grow and take what i need from it and add to my res every change roughly once a week.
Got my first batch of tea going right now!
Word of advise
DO NOT TAKE the CUTS these mites arent no joke they can wipe you out. Im battling them right now and its harder then people make it out to be. Im on week 2 of rotating avid and forbid4 and Im still finding larvae, tho its not moving its still there.
Its not worth the risk I seen what they can do to a harvest first hand and it aint pretty
PS Cap just fed my first batch of (root & foliar) tea with nute pack added before dumping in. I also sprayed the shit out of the plants. Im curious if the bennies will help kill off the few russet larvae that are still on the plants

here is an awesome link on compost teas. If you scroll down there is a small part where they talk about high concentrations of bacteria and fungi on the leaves totally protecting crops from all pathogens/pests.
Just ran through the link, very informative.
Whats the deal with hand watering with a pump and a wand? Is my pump and wand killing off the bacteria from the tea?
I don't think it's that bad. I have scoped tea that has gone through a pump for days, and it was full of life.
hey Cap, made a trip to South Bay Hydro and picked up some more bennies today. Just had a quick question, why do you recommend not using the nute pack during flower? your recipe on your site says to use during veg only, i was just curious why. thanks
Wow that was a great read
Gots me thinking
Im big into food plots for deer and turkey with having a few acres each season to plant besides the perennials. Im now thinking of adding a few doses of tea to my plots considering I can use it at 1 cup per 5 gallons I can dose 5 gallons per acre
I do a rotation of plantings. Once in the spring then tilling under green and then planting early summer to fall for the final fall winter food source. I will add the tea once in the spring and then once more at my fall plantings.
Ill let ya know how it work and if it works great and can help my crops grow healthy and fight of any problem I will definitely spread the word
Your pack has rhizobium...? I thought they only played with legumes.
