DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

Can't wait! I've recently built two myself and just started a dozen seeds in them (rockwool cubes were soaked in full strength tea and ph adjusted). All popped and are going strong. I'm going to make bonzai mothers out of the biggest and baddest (gotta love Darwinism) and was going to try cloning (my first attempt, I've always started from seed) in the same shallow water cloners. Sounds like I'm not going to have to go through trial and error, as Sir Heisenberg has done this for me. Too bad RIU doesn't have PayPal, I'd send you donations for all the great info. I'll send you some rep as soon as I learn how...

Edit: I just found how to send rep, and sent some your way...

I haven't read all the posts on this thread yet so I'm not sure if anyone else has posted about it,, but I, for one, am going to be using the Heisenberg tea to enrich my soil. It is the next logical step for me, on the journey that started with me getting a really bad fungus problem. I started coming at it from the perspective of having a healthy soil ecology, and the issue immediately began to go away. I am just embarrassed that it took me so long to see that my indoor garden needs a healthy soil ecology.

At some point, I am going to swtich to Aero for cloning, and Aero/DWC for veg and flower, and your teachings will will make that whole thing go that much more smoothly. Thanks again, Heisenberg. I am looking forward to the cloner tea method.

Tyler, rep is given by clicking the little star right next to "Journal this Post " under a given persons post.

Lots of life lessons in Fight Club, btw. Most of the people who don't see that are bein "Space Monkeys"

Thank you, SaneLaws I was finally able to figure that out late last night when I stopped smoking my kush. My favorite Fight Club scene is when Tyler forces the convenience store proprietor into the alley and forces him to pursue his dreams at gunpoint, "Tomorrow morning, his breakfast will taste better than any meal you or I have ever tasted..."

Anyhow, another use for the tea that no one has brought up yet... pet messes. Pet urine, especially feline, can bond to fiber in a way that the color may come out, but the material that attracts bacteria which produce smell remains. To break this bond you need strong solvents or enzymes. If you make a tea with decomposers you have a superior product to those that brag about live bacteria and enzymes. Clean the area as best you can, treat with tea and cover to keep wet, then clean up again as normal, ideally with an extractor. Just like the store products, big messes may require several treatments. Any ruined clothes can be soaked in a bucket of tea for 2 days and then washed. All the 'bugs' in the tea are completely safe for humans, unless you are immunocompromised, in which case I doubt you have any pets.

by the way, we will be composting the cantelopes, and then using small bits of that compost in the brewing process. Maybe have a contest or something, "whose compost works better". (ahhh, back on topic)

so heisenberg how about the trail runs with your new formula for cloning?
