it's always the crotchety old guys that know the secrets, well if tea can make cauliflower that big im deffinately going to have to do some more research. hmmm molasis seams important for micro organisms to eat, but damn i have never been around the stuff and it is nasty!!!It smells horrible, so it must work.
here is a good recipie:
Good morning folks, wake and bake and tea time.
here's how to brew an effective tea.
Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and use an airstone connected to an air pump to aerate the water for 24hrs, this will evaporate any traces of chlorine in the water wich can kill beneficial bacteria.
Ingredients (these are for 4 gallons of water)
This is a base tea, you can water with this every watering.
4TBS of worm castings
4TBS of molasses
1-2TBS lquid seaweed
2TBS of liquid karma (optional, substitute for humic or fulvic acids)
To feed the plants you add to your base tea:
2-3TBS of either high N or P guano
I don't use a cloth bag to hold the solid ammendments, I just dump everything in because I find it brews much better and the solids have a better contact and surface area with the rest of the brew.
The only drawback to the "no pouch method" is it can clog you airstone, what I do is keep the airstone suspended as opposed to sitting on the bottom.
Once everything is setup and the ingredients are brewing keep it bubbling for 24-48hrs loosely covered in a dark place, after 2 days you should have foam at the top.
Use guanos only when you want to give them a boost and not everytime as guano is high release, I use guano once high N in veg and 3-4 times during flowering, the rest of the time just use the basic elements and skip the guano.
