When you say proper brewing process does that mean that air pump is on all the time to not become anareobic or what

Here is my 02 on batshit in your bedroom.
I wouldn't mix it in there because the dust will float around.
Once mixed i would be ok aerating it there.
I would bleach or otherwise sterilize the area where that shit splashed.
Might even plastic the area where it will be so cleanup is easier.

yes. and you have to have A LOT of bubbling for this to happen. a little bubble will not do the job.When you say proper brewing process does that mean that air pump is on all the time to not become anareobic or what

If I bubbled a tea for three days and it just smelled like aquarium fish tank water, not stinky/foul or rotten and had lots of nice little scummy globs all throughout it...that means I did good right? lol...I've got an airstone/pump setup made for a 10 gallon fish tank and I've been bubbling 2.5 gallons of tea at a time then diluting that to 5 gallons

3 days is typically way too long. microbes have likely gone dormant from either lack of O2 or build up of waste products in the tea. typically you should bubble no more than 48 hours... but if you brew in a warmer room (70+) then I'd say no more than 36 hours.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the complete organic way of growing. Last run was with organic bottles but that's just hogwash & not truly being organic imo. So my question is this, does anyone use the water after they boil or steam their vegetables to water their plants or make teas? I tried to find things online but when I search (using water from broccoli to water cannabis) all kinds of crazy unrelated things pop up. Obviously we use veggies in compost, but what about the water after boiling or steaming? Take it easy on me I'm still learning the true organic way. I usually use the water to make soup but with spring and summer here no more soup. I hate to waste such nutrient rich h2o, I hate to waste anything really.

I used it all the time in my teas, from broccoli water to squash to green beans. Not sure he right benefits but I would think it is beneficial to the beanies. I also would like to know so I'll bump this question too

So I assume you never had issues with your plants after? I would think it would be a good source of nutrients. I hardly think it will do damage too the beneficials. Broccoli has a huge amount of potassium in it as well as a good amount of magnesium. I've used the water in my vegetable garden in the past and the plants seemed very receptive too it. I'm just not sure how it will affect cannabis. I dont think it will harm them. I'm in a small space with only 3 plants. That's the crap part about micro grows, no room for trial & error or experimentation. Obviously one could fool around and see, but when you're in a small space you really only have one shot to get it right. Some people have the room and a good number of plants to experiment with. I dont, so I'm wary of what could possibly happen. Thanks for bumping this question! hopefully we will both learn something.I used it all the time in my teas, from broccoli water to squash to green beans.

tea recipes aside i would like to add the incredible benefit of using the water you cook food with in your soil and/or teas. cpl examples here would be:
- hard boiling eggs leaves soluble calcium in the residual water this is a mild solution, you may also break up the shells and add vinegar and wait till it stops fizzing cpl hours or a day later to get allot more calcium, but this is very concentrated
- pasta and potato water after bpoiling. the starch is a great source of microbe food in general. i would add aquafaba from cooking/soaking dried beans here, but there are serious smell issue if you make a tea or use to much with this. that said it has allot of sulfur which is nice if you wanna use it late in flower as sulfur makes weeb smell stronger imo
- spinach water after boiling. after cooking leafy greens like spinach the water has allot of iron and potassium in it and can also be used to supppliment soil or plants.
- used coffee grounds are slightly acidic and create an acid creating bacteria in soils, also high in nitrogen. i am also fairly certain i read plants also respond to caffein similar to how we do, it 'energizes' them
- limes, fresh squeezed into water. if you are lucky enough to live somewhere you can get large bags of limes cheap like me then you can forgo filtering for chloramines mostly. i find the amount of limes,1 in my case is enough to dechlorinate and ph 5-7 gallons of water for a day or so not to mention adding sugars for microbes and other benefits. i don't use ph down or filtration i use only limes
*** not a food but i round out the egg shell thing with langbenite for my own natural cal/mag . it also contains sulfur and potash in high amounts
i wanted to point out i was only refering to by products that i can use immediately to water plants or make a tea, the purpose here is not about enriching compost or what foods add what benefoits as they compost or become castings. we all kinda know this, but i never really see man ppl mentioning using the water from dinner when thyew boil veggies etc...
WASTE NOTHING IF POSIBLE FOLKS, IT IS OUR JOBS AS CAREGIVERS FOR THE EARTH TO STOP AND THINK BEFORE WE POUR STUFF DOWN THE SINK DRAIN
heck you can even fertilize with your own piss smell free if you add the right bacteria/microbe culture to the urine. this is how a porto potty would handle smell partly. i forget the specific microbes needed t assure the urea/amonia is converted but your pee once processed this way is an excellent odor free full spectrum fertilizer. and no i don't piss into my cannabis plants lol, but it is possible should you want to, just treat it first with the bacteria/microbes that eat the urea and convert the amonia smell

Agreed.
Do you think there is any value to be gained by a mild solution of yeast?
Not recommended for the weak or timid gardner.

Hey guys. Question about this tea thing. First off....first time growing anything. Have 2 tomatoes 1 jalapeno and 2 cannabis. Gorilla glue and durban poison. All outside up here in Canada,Ontario. In pro mix HP with a natural fish fertilizer 5-1-1.
I read that putting banana peels and egg shells and 1 table spoon of Epsom salts in a gallon of water and letting sit for a few days will help to release the nutrients into the water. The egg shells is calcium Epsom salts is for magnesium and banana peels obviously for potassium and other nutrients. I'm trying to add some calcium and magnesium to the soil along with the fish to make a nutrient rich soil. Thoughts on the blend?
I want to make a soil for the next time hopefully indoors by Novemeber and really love learning about fertilizing our little babies with natural stuff instead of chems. Any suggestions are appreciated

You cant go wrong with egg shells. They are great for calcium and a lot of trace elements. However, if you dont properly kill off any selminila that might be hanging around, you'll introduce that to your plants. Need to bake them for some time, usually around 180F for 45 mins does the trick. Also when making teas, its key to keep O2 in there to keep from going anaerobic. I like to add the shells to the soil, but adding some to your tea will help make it available quicker should you be experiencing deficiencies. And you'll want to grind them into a powder. Word of warning, if you use your significant others blender and the container is plastic it WILL fog it up. She may be a little peeved next time she uses it. I limit my tea brewing to no more than 48 hours, most cases for me 24 hours. If it smells bad, keep it away from your plants. Bananas are a good flower amendment, and can even grind the peels. Dont go too crazy with the epsom salts. You should be rocking with that mix.

Nice man good to hear! Too late for salmonella poison.....I used it yesterday lol they were all fresh eggs tho. Only left it for 2 days. I took the rest of the reminents and put it into the new soil... just put my Durban poison into a 30gal fabric pot. Hoping she shoots for the stars lol. Banana peels and egg shells should help it out a little with what's left from them.
Now....the tea had bubbles and was foamy at the top and there was pressure from the gas... is this normal? And by keeping 02 in there what do you mean? I've never made this stuff before and ya my wife thinks this shit is DISGUSTING lol
And ya the epsom salts is very small amount and only adding it MAYBE once a month with the mix.
The gorilla glue is SUPER happy with just fish fertilizer right now but what can I maybe do when flowering....just ground banana peels and fish fert or is there any other veggies or fruits I can recycle in there?
Thanks for all the help. Loving the RIU forum!

Veg and Pest/Disease Defense Tea
Ingredients are per 15 gallons of water
3 cups alfalfa meal
1.5 cups kelp meal
1.5 cups neem meal
1.5 cups crab/lobster shell meal
0.5 cup humid/fulvic acid liquid supplemental
No molasses! This is not a microbe tea. This tea is more for the extraction of PGR's.
Brew time: 2-7 days depending on ambient temp. The hotter it is the shorter it will take to bring the Brew to a finish. The longer you leave it the stronger it gets.
Strain and spray brew undiluted while wearing clothes you don't mind staining and getting super stinky. It's a good idea to spray at a time when you know you're going to shower right after haha. You will notice results almost immediately from a foliar spray.
Soil drench at a ratio of 1:1 diluted with fresh RO or non-chlorinated tap water.
When finished dump the remaining organic matter into outdoor garden or onto mulch of vegging plants and gently rake in with your fingers without disturbing roots.
This one is ready and going on its 3rd day.
