I want to try this, but for a few bucks I need to take three clones and do one with no molasses, one with grandma's or whatever the store has, and then one with the Humboldt. I am aware that in the world of grow stores you often do not "get what you pay for", but I am want great meds, of course, but I also want to know as much as I can about all products. I appreciate the advice from everyone.

also just to add.. I use a ton of Bennies in my growing.. So,when I feed them I like to feel like I'm spoiling them... I mean fuck my dog gets a new toy almost once a week. Why can't my plants get spoiled with some Snake oil water? 
naw I kid, Out of the Molasses I used before (Botaincare - Strapped ,HH - hydro carbs) when I switched over to the HH ES the addition of the

that is what i thought when i started using the 130 dollar line of organic nutrients called nectar for the gods. Rave reviews and then of course later i find out that 1 bottle was basically steamed bone meal with some added sugars and then another bottle was sugar water. -i could have kept using the molasses!! i was ahead of the game to start but then i got suckered in by some pretty bottles and the promise of good bud. -it could have been great bud too i bet - but i'm not paying 25 bucks for some sugar water. i get 6 months worth for the same price. i had gotten a lot of crap for using it by some organic growers and that is what led me to make my own amended soil. some of their sage wisdom and guidance and a ton of reading.
and now making your own teas seems easier.
you get teaming with microbes yet gladstoned?

Can you give us an idea of what teas u may make Tomcat? I've used worm castings once. Why did u suggest Not using chicken shit for compost at one point? thanks...

I am not using teas yet. I have amended soil. To help understand the living soil I am going to study some skunk magazines. That is the way I am going with soil for sure.
As far as chicken shit, I have heard it is very difficult, but I want to put it in a worm compost, with rabbit shit.

Chix shit is very hot as it composts. It really can cook ur micro herd. Lots of nitrogen.

I really like the concept of veganics. I have not read too much though. I want to finish framing these rooms, then sit down for several days and study. That is why I haven't built worm compost bin and why I didn't get rabbits last week. I wanted a few chickens anyway.

yeah same here. veganic seems like the best way to go.
poultry litter and cow are two that i'd be hesitant to use for these reasons:
1. diet of the animal. plant or other based?
2. how was it composted -professionally, at home, treated?
so really source it beforehand - like i did not... some of those pots that have that sub-par organic cow manure and humus now have small little sprouts occasionally from left overs from cow droppings i'm sure.
-VERMICOMPOST is my solution. mostly plant diet for me leads to all plant diet for the worms and then the castings and compost should all be top-notch.
why i wouldn't use cow or poultry => animals are part of the food web but the excrement is far from the best. and some of that is again how its made.

so to me it seems not worth it when there is a possibility that the manure i use may even kill off the essential microbes i want living in it.
BUT. if you are the one taking care of them, feeding them, composting it yourself, treating it.. then that is a different story - but i would still rather more plant based.
the less degrees from where the energy first came from = the sun; the better.

Bump.
gravity had to be sent back within 2 or 3 days and I didn't get it back in that time. I was just stocking my shelves and realized I was a liar, cuz I said I sent it back. I haven't used it, but I have it.
