well bone meal will give you a lot of P. I hope you are in veg by the look of all that N!

It looks interesting to me. Let us know if you burn anything. I use 2 tbsp to a gallon of water and then a flower or a veg nute depending on the "season", lol.

It can burn. Also i just read about a gut using a bone meal tea and he burned the shit out thinking it was slow release like in soil app.

I would not use the bone in yur tea for veg tho. Got any compost? That will give your tea a kick!

Howdy, i've made my own tea for years now and here's what I do. This is per gallon so you can adjust accordingly. De-chlorinated water, now depending where you are in your growing I am going to guess the veg state. I use 1 TBS Mexican Bat Guano, 1 TBS Worm Castings, 1 TBS Kelp and 1 TBS molasses. I brew mine for approximately 2 to 2.5 days. To really get some good beneficial bacteria going toss in 1 TBS or Rid-X. Found in the plumbing section just about anywhere. When brewing is complete I strain and feed accordingly.

castings are good to use and bump up the life in the tea. but bone meal is not water soluble and takes a while to break down and putting it in the tea will do no good unfortunately.

Rid-x...seriously??? Can anyone confirm that? According the Rid-x FAQ http://www.rid-x.com/faq.shtml it is not recommended for composting. I know brewing and composting are different methods...but still....
