tea

Whats the time frame I should be brewing my aact for ? Longest to make it very healthy for my plants ?

so I've been reading about aact with worm castings and other guano then I've been noticing there is a swallows nest outside my front door where all this poop collects on the ground , then I thort can't I make tea with this , question I have is can it be done ? Or will it be harmful to my plants...

Particularly foliar fed banana tea? Banana peel boiled, strained and added to water, sprayed all over the leaves. Apparently a banana peel contains NPK 0-3-42

I've got about 3gals of it left over and was wondering if you guys know a precedent for it being used for feeding. It's really aromatic and dark, it formed a film on top just like a strong tea. It's about 3 days old at this point.

Thinking i have ph lockout going on should i flush with water or maybe a tea from Local hydro store

How do you handle nutrient deficiencies in your ORGANIC GROW? any special teas you are using? How do you mix your soil? what organisms are you adding? do you recommend a certain top dressing? Can you recommend a reputable research site? I am going to document my experience with writings...

so I am aware the Ph'ing is unnecessary when using AACT and infact the acidity/salts will kill the microbial life given by your AACT's. My problem is: I use well water that has a PH at around 7.8 which gave me fairly bad PH fluctuation issues early on as it is so high (leaves curling, spotting...

Recently pieced together my hydro setup and now I'm going to keep you all updated on the progress! Germing the seed as we speak but not sure of the strain; it's either cookies or barney's farm. Beggars cannot be choosers seeing how I got these seeds pro bono off a buddy. As for the setup: I'm...

Peace and blessings pon the most high Jah. We have just moved a few months ago and had to start our composting all over again. I was wondering if there's any benefit from boiling fresh/wilted veggie scraps, straining out the solids and leaving the water to brew with an airstone for a few days. I...

So, I've spent some time reading through various organic threads here and there is much more to read. I wish I could put a bookmark in some of them so I don't forget which page I'm on, lol! I am experimenting with SST and where I am currently, coconuts are in abundance. One aspect of using...

Has been two weeks since i reset the grow. The last attempt ended in failure, so with a few modifications this grow was sure to succeed (i hope). (more setup info from the first grow found here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/software-engineer-grows-weed-pt-1.916235/) Seeds: * 3x feminized...

hello I have multiple plants that have been going since April, but they seem to have stunted growth and unhealthy dying leaves. There are outdoor in holes filled with a soil mix; the NATURAL SOIL IS RED CLAY. Need help getting my plants a boost and healthier, at this point I'm thinking about...

http://www.agnet.org/library.php?func=view&id=20110804162833 I used to think bananas were only good for a potassium boost. But there is a lot more usefulness. Ive tried fermented banana myself and got a 3" growth spurt on one of my tester plants in 4 days. The soil was 40% MG potting mix, 60%...

Must the tea created be still raw or can it be heated to kill gnat and creature eggs that may be present in the compost? I dont know if heating the tea defeats the purpose. Will heating kill off the good stuff as well?

Aerated Composted Tea not only provides good microbes, bacteria and fungi, who feed the plants, but those microbes also occupy the space and consume the food that would otherwise encourage bad microbes and larger pests. I have no experience using ACTs, but here is what I've found from googling...

Please check my thinking here.... This plan is "general" to help me check my understanding of the compost tea process. I know I'll have to make daily adjustments based on weather, plants, etc. Assume I'm growing 18 outdoor trees in 100-gallon soil bags, with lots of pumice etc. I want a 3-day...

My tea that I've been making for the past couple years sure adds a kick in the pants for my ladies. It's simple and effective. What I do is start out with banana peels, distilled or good filtered (de-chlorinated) water and a good glass jar. I fill the jar about a third full of water. After...
