Can Someone Suggest a Tea Mix for this plant ?

hey guys, I think I am going to get my first tea-making kit today at the hydro store.....They have a 3 and 5 gallon set up...I think I am going with the 5 gallon because I have some outdoor plants as well as my indoor stuff...

Anyways, first tea mix would be for a c99 that is at 6 weeks of flowering....she is an 8 week strain.....I had a K and zinc lockout due to high levels of P.....So i straight watered for about 10 days before i went back to feeding....I switched from a 10-30-20 feed to Dyna-gro Grow 7-9-3....I have fed her this once along with liquid seaweed and Floralicious Plus....

Anyone know something that might help her out in the last two weeks ?

I also have a RQ Power Flower growing right next to her with about the same flowering time...She is also at 6 weeks flowering right now, however, no problems with her....

thanks, SC

First off, why are you feeding inorganic nutrients? Second what's in your soil mix?

oh sorry...Medium is Pro-mix HP, worm castings, lime, and perlite.

I'm feeding the plants those things cause that's all I have at the moment...I'm only on my second real grow, and trying to learn organics.

Cool brotha, use what u got in deed, especially if times are hard.
But when you can, and your serious about
It, click here, mostly everything u need to know is on page one.

Forever covered it. Go through even the first page of that thread and you will find a lot of the pertinent information. The thing about quality organics is it takes time. You are not going to produce the perfect soil over night. The base soil ratio should be some like Peat/EWC/Aeration 33%/33%/33% or 50%/25%/25% especially since it sounds like you have some promix available. If you can pick up some kelp meal (not liquid kelp). I would also look into SST's (Seed Sprout Tea). Keep doing what you're doing, and start reading. Shout if I can help.

Look into building or buying your own worm bin. You will be so happy you did as fresh worm castings are the cornerstone of living organics. Fresh worm castings and molasses brewed for 24 hours will do wonders you need to see to believe. Good luck!

ya, I am definitely looking into that.

When I brew a tea will I have to dilute it when I go to use it ?

I know when I get the tea mixture from the local hydro store they tell me to mix something like 50-100 ml/gallon.

Even though I am using dyna-gro and jack's, I can still use the teas right ? Like, they will still do something, right ?

I brew a concentrate, and dilute, yes. I dilute 4:1 with my worm poop teas.

no. the salts, from your synthetics, will wipe out the flora that utilize the teas. choose

the nutrients will remain as macro-molecules, instead of being digested to a plant-soluble form by micro flora.

its like.....(high).......turtles like hamburger meat........but can't eat a steer.

Damn, didn't know that....the hydro shops have been pawning the teas off on me without even know my growing operation.... Well I guess I'll have to mix up a soil, and let it sit till the grow after next....I am about ready to go with my next grow, so that will give me 3 months now or so to mix up some organic soil, and let it cook.

always get ahead of your grows, with medium, composts, manures, imo. this year's worm castings/manures are for next year, and so on.

harvested 50+ lbs. last year. red worms, wood lice, and black soldier flies.
lost them all this past Winter; I was sick, and it was a hard, hard Winter.

I'm making tea also with my own worm compost, bsm, and re-hydrated alfalfa pellets . So after I cut it down 4:1, how often can I apply it to the soil?
