I know, sounds stupid but I would like to know the NPK rating of the teas I am making. Also, I would like to hear what your recommendations are regarding frequency of use and in what doses per plant in 3 gallon buckets.

Here are the teas:

Bloom Tea
3 gallons water
6 Tbsp high P bat guano (0-7-0)
12 Tbsp worm castings (1-0-1)
2 Tbsp Liquid Karma (.1-.1-.5)
2 Tbsp molasses (please fill me in on this one)

Grow Tea
3 gallons water
6 Tbsp high N bat guano (9-3-2)
12 heaping Tbsp worm castings (1-0-0)
2 Tbsp Liquid Karma (.1-.1-.5)
2 Tbsp molasses (fill me in)
1 Alfalfa cube, 30-40 grams (3-1-2)

Do I just add up the numbers or how does this work? Any recommended changes to teas? Thanks

I would think it would come out to (bloom tea) 1.1-7.1-1.1 right? The liquid karma must provide all the secondary nutrients and the molasses is supposed to be used by the plant as energy or something I believe. It sounds like a complete fertilizer just like any 2 step fertilizer program. As how much to add you might have to experiment a little bit but is probably safe enough to use often.Might try every other watering an see hopw that goes.

thanks for the reply. Thats what I thought it was based on what I read but wasn't sure. If the leaves are a little yellow 5 weeks into flower, do you think it would be advisable to add a little nitrogen (in the form of alfalfa)?
