i think i use too much molasses.... anyway, more than 36 hours brew and you would need a microscope to know how much sugar to add, after 36 hours, bacteria are on the decline and the tea lose effectiveness. I am not sure of all this so someone may confirm. also 24 hours is mostly bacterial tea and 36 hours leaning towards fungi, is this information correct?
Check out my sig bro! The last couple pages is loaded with AACT info.
But too much Molasses is a VERY bad thing! You can bring on all sorts of problems using it in excess, and I know bcuz I did it already lol!
It's more nutritious that it's passed off to be, and in a good AACT, there should be a diverse group of nutrients available in plant ready form.
As the microbes reproduce, the feed of the ingredient we add, retain a percentage of what it get, and than excrete the rest into the tea as a plant material, which is not in the same form as it was when you put it in there.
I'm sure some of the microbes solubilize different parts from the Molasses as well. There S,P, & K in numbers, amongst other things.
And you either end of with a bacterial or fungally dominate tea based on what you put in it. Not the brew time.
Everything I'm telling you is in my soil thread bro.
I haven't figured it all out totally yet, but I've got the gist for the most part! Takes some time bud the smoke is SOOO damn good from Organic soil man! PURE white ashes. SUPER SMOOTH!
