I have been working on small hydro grows. Using merely a fish tank air pump and a pitcher for a reservoir. It works great with any hydroponic nutrient you can buy on the shelves, but I wanted to try something that i just happened across. The Dollar General sells a bag of bird guano organic nutrients that can be made into a tea*. A 5-5-5 blend.

Could I fill a reservoir with said tea* and merely aerate with a pump to grow hydro-organically?

Would I have to change the reservoir frequently? I have no problem doing that. I figure adjusting the nutrient strength would be a challenge that i could just work out each day by day. Keep the salts from building up the best i can. I just really want to try this. Not that big a deal if i end up just wasting $5 bucks, but would hate to kill a plant. Maybe I'll try with bagseed.

Your not retarded we just need a little more info and remember were lazy potheads and it take us forever to do anything. How are you holding the plant in the container and what kind of air stone are you using. You can defiantly use the stuff but i wouldnt use it full strength at least not at first. Remember man growin is growin dosnt matter how you do it just that your doin it and learning. Theres alot of people out there that talk siht and they've never even seen a real plant.

The airstone and airpump are from petstore. I got that circle volcano type:D I use aerogarden snap apart grow pods sometimes, but really just buying a pack of kitchen sponges and fitting them in the hole of my pitcher works fine for me. I'm spending the five dollars and going to try adding a very small amount to a gallon of water and aerate over night. Then try adding that solution to my reservoir. Since i dont have a pump particles shouldnt bother my system.... Just dont want it to bother my plants:/
