Outdoor Teas and application Methods

Looking for different teas and application rates for Outdoors. I will start with some teas that I have found while reading.
Guano Tea and Kelp:

Seedlings less than 1 month old nute tea mix-
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
1-cup earthworm castings/5 gallons of water every 3rd watering

Veg mix-
1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
@ 1-cup dry mix/5 gallons of water every 3rd watering.

Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
5 tbs. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
@ 2 cups dry mix/5 gallons of water EVERY watering.
You can use queen size knee high nylon stockings for tea bags. 3 pair for a dollar at the dollar store. Tell 'em you use them for paint strainers. Put the recommended tea in the stocking, tie a loop knot in it and hang it in your tea bucket. The tea should look like a mud puddle. Agitate the bag in the water vigorously. An aquarium pump and air stone will dissolve oxygen into the solution and keep the good bacteria (microherd) alive and thriving. Let it bubble a day or two before you use it. If you find you are making too much tea and having to throw it out, use 2 1/2 gallons of water and cut the nute amount by half.

I'm sure this will help someone I would suggest following the recipe if you want great results. keepem green dirrtyd

Omg thats coincidental... those are the exact ingredients i use after 2 years of experimentation... with 1 exception, i use Rubicon Organic liquid Kelp extract > Maxicrop.... Amazing find man!

Edit: the ratios are a little stronger, maybe i will kick it up a notch and see what the plants like :D

Why buy panyhose, use a old sock ziptie the end.As for tea's and use indoors or out it makes no difference, mollasses really is doing more harm then good, it blocks mag uptake as well as locking out boron and zinc, attracks bugs. If the soil is healthy the plant will get all the sugars it needs through nature natural process by aid of the microculture living in the soil, adding more shit to your nutes doesnt make for faster growth, most of the time it complicates shit to the point that when a issue comes up you have to hunt down the culprit out of numerous causes K.i.S.S, KEEP IT SIMPLE STONER

that depends on how much is used and how often. it is essential in organic growing for feeding the bacteria.

never use never will i have in the past and had nothing but bug issues as well as a lock out on a few plants, funny you say it essential for organic growing lol i never use it and have greenhouse plants yeild coupious amount of bud as well as a few other fellow growers

here is my recipe
1cup worm castings (blooming gardens)
1cup cricket poo ( cricket poo brand)
1 cup bat guano (whitney farms)
1 cup mushroom compost (whitney farms)
1/4 cup seaweed ( maxicrop)

put in a sock work vigorously in 4 gallons of water ph to 6.0
ppm comes out to 750ppm usually

yes, and then where are the bacteria?!? see, right there you are missing a WHOLE lot from your mix, considering less than 50% of the nutrients are actualy usable by the plants....

just incase you wanted to actualy learn something.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_cycle and yes, it is essential for organic growing if you want to get everything out of your soils.....
  1. Biological fixation: some symbiotic bacteria (most often associated with leguminous plants) and some free-living bacteria are able to fix nitrogen as organic nitrogen. An example of mutualistic nitrogen fixing bacteria are the Rhizobium bacteria, which live in legume root nodules. These species are diazotrophs. An example of the free-living bacteria is Azotobacter.
  2. Industrial N-fixation: Under great pressure, at a temperature of 600 C, and with the use of an iron catalyst, hydrogen (usually derived from natural gas or petroleum) and atmospheric nitrogen can be combined to form ammonia (NH[SUB]3[/SUB]) in the Haber-Bosch process which is used to make fertilizer and explosives.
THIS ^ Is something that has been known from farmers fro literaly 100's of years.... guess your missing out on a tonne of shit there..........
Edit: Another link that proves you wrong? OK.

you might be able to grow with bad tea, but i can grow with miracle grow.... want to know the difference?!?! The Smoke quality in the end. Live soil > Your Dead soil.

your a moron the mushroom composed is load with mycho's

so again pucker up your lips to my brown eye mr know-it-all, maybe you should have gone to college with me and taken plant biology and horticulture classes like i did for 2 yrs, also to note the op's recipe doesnt have anything more or less then mine so you tell me were his bacteria are in his recipe and not mine, let me guess you mollasses is your bacteria load right

nothing in your link talks about mollases, it talks about different nitrifing bacteria and how is uses carbs and gives off ammonium and converts it to a host of different nutrient compounds

yea, and how do those bacteria live? what do they Eat? Complex Carbohydrates, Such as the ones stored in Molasses.

heres a basic one to get you started.... http://www.disknet.com/indiana_biolab/b003.htm = What are Bacteria?

Bacteria do not have a mouth. They make proteins called enzymes inside the cell and these travel thru the cell wall into the surrounding medium. The enzymes chop the food into tiny subunits which then come into the bacteria cell by osmosis or active transport. Active transport is the process by which the cell grabs a molecule of glucose or other food and pulls it in thru the cell wall. Many specialized proteins and other molecules made by the bacterium are involved in this active transport process. Perhaps someday you can figure out ways to study the mechanisms of active transport.
Edit: The trick is, getting only beneficial bacteria in the Mix... this is why Molasses works so good... molasses is tree sap, a natural sugar that comes from plants thus it is the best for plants....

LMFAO your SOOOO Smart, and you just keep proving it... right?

like i said earlier... learn something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycelium

P.S: I GROW MUSHROOMS. mushrooms are grown in a STERILE ENVIROMENT. adding MYCELIUM to the soil is NOT adding Benificial BACTERIA
dude i dont give to shits if your grow mushrooms with purple fuckin umbrellas you are not going to convince me, my methods work if you dont like them dont use them fyi commercial mushroom farms are not sterile on bit only the compost base before the sowing of myco spores is sterile, but what do i know i live less then 10 minutes from one of the largest producers of mushrooms in north america, also the same place whitney farms gets there compost base from, also a place i worked for a summer part-time in the planting department

I still want to see other tea recipes that are used outdoors. I dont grow indoors I know you can use them indoors. Well here goes a couple seedlings from my methods. enjoy keepem green dirrtyd

:) i just have to let the posts speak for themselves.

people on this site DO know alot, and can help you... if all you want to do is be an asshole, then go crap on someone else's parade.

now thats funny i didnt give you anything you did it yourself after i flamed you, i see you had your flame suit on as it didnt burn your ass like other seem to allow here have a :bigjoint: on me
Sorry for seeming dense, but why is it necessary to "flame" someone, when this is a site for folks to help each other grow the kindly weed?

This was a very informative thread on organic teas. Please let's keep it that way.
