anyways here we go:
i wanna start my own organic garden from start to finish. meaning a good soil mix to potent tea.
what i wanna do is eliminate nutrients completely. i dont wanna add any bottled nutrients in my mix. is it possible? heres what i have in mind:
12 plants in my own soil
composted pile i have. mix of veggies,fruits and seaweed from the ocean that i rinsed off.
worm castings
molasses
throw that in a bucket and 48 hours later we have a tea..<---- would all this be ok in flower?

I'm guessing your using the dunks for gnats? Have you tried beneficial nematodes they worked good for gnat problems.

I usually stir in two blister packs worth of grounded dunks per 8 cu ft and when that mix is done cooking, webbed fungal threads and expanded spores from the base mixes are visible top side layer. So, I have to assume it's fungal friendly.
Edit:
You'll also find bacillus thuringiensis -the main ingredient to those dunks, packaged along with those spores like great white, myko madness, mycogrow etc. I think it's safe to say it's ok.
Thanks so much for the response elduece, Well done Sir
I have not tried them but I will.

Hey i jus had a question about compost tea. I made a batch, it brewed for 2 weeks or a little over2 weeks. It smells good earthy, sweet and nice. |Very nice to see. Subbed just to let everyone know.
im usualy on daily, if not every other day. i can answer alot of the questions people need answered
I applyed it to some plants in a diluted 10:1 ratio. And its been a few days and i dont see any sort of flourishment, its not doing any worse or better. What do you look for to tell if your tea is working in your favor or hurting your plants??
BTW this is my first tea lol

If using coarse dolomite lime, do you jus sprinkle as a top dress and it soaks in the soil when it gets watered???

What exactly do you mean by cooking soil?
Myth - Bone/blood meal: Bone meal and Blood meal do NOTHING. it takes around one month for Bone meal to become active, and 2+ weeks for blood meal to become active... IF you are using the sludge from the bottom of the barrel as top feed then for all means, add bone/blood meal, if not then it is kind of a waste....
Myth - PH doesn't matter: PH DEFINITELY matters with organic's. Many organic product's are Pre-tested to ensure the PH levels are around 6.5, but when using Home made, or self collected fertalizers a person NEEDS to be aware of the PH or they will experiance major problems.
Myth - Soil doesn;t NEED to be cooked: WRONG. soil Needs to be cooked for multiple reasons. #1 nutrient activation. #2 PH ballancer activation (Lime and Gypsum) and #3 degradation of all organic matter... the more degraded it is, the better for the plants.

This means to let it sit and compost for 30 days to help the microbial life break down the food and make it availible to the plant.
