thankyou guys i appreciate it!

TEA.... I'm using the advanced mother earth tea.. Only reason being because i dont know shit about tea. I was wondering if anyone used this stuff, or if they knew a better route to go for a tea. Last run i only flushed twice the whole run, i feel like i had some buildups. This run im trying to flush more, once a week, but a buddy of mine said instead of doing straight water, replace with a tea.

I gave the girls the tea last night at about 3ml\liter. It says on the bottle to do way more, but i didnt want to fuck anything up, and i know advanced always tells you to use half the bottle.

you dont want to flush with tea.

if you brew your own it dosen't need to be diluted at all, not sure about the stuff your currently using.

relatively simple to brew a tea, you need a air pump with air stone, a sock, some worm castings, unsulfered molasses a bucket and some water.

put worm castings in sock, fill bucket up with water, put sock with worm casting isn the water and tie it to the rim. about 1/4 cup molasses and mix it into the water. add airstone and let sit for 48 hours..presto you got a tea

thankyou guys! alot of information. theres Always something to learn

do you guys notice a huge difference from using tea?

retiredmatt you said that you wouldnt sub tea when you flush... does this mean that you flush as well as use straight tea? how often?

i just feel bad not giving my girls nutes.. and as of right now im watering every other day.. so if i did a flush, then a tea after, my girls wouldnt get nutes til the 5th day.. Do you think that the tea and flush would be beneficial enough to do that?

looks nice but fuck getting an ac. get a chiller with ice boxes. much cheaper to run. just costs a lot to get setup and some work building the manifolds.

I'm not real sure about this, I do run one ice box in a 8 by 5 foot room with a 1kw hps running 12 hours a day. I'm using a roughly 30 gallon igloo cooler for the water and running a half horse chiller plus supplementing with a chest freezer, res and wort chiller. by the time the 12 hour cycle is up the temp in both the igloo is around 70 f depending on the conditions here, the chest freezer res isn't far behind at about 67F or so. To have anything left over to cool a 4kw room you'll have to be running a very large chiller. Forgot to add that the water temperature at lights on is usually 39 degrees in the cooler. In the freezer it depends on how I have the cycle timer set on the wort chiller, I'm trying to find a sweet spot but I don't think there is one. I simply still need to run AC.

oh and about the tea, word, xtreme gardening tea brews. good stuff and much more pleasant to brew than mixing up your own bag.
