I know I'm a bit late on this thread.. I know nothing about teas.. I currently use a modified ebb&flow system/dwc. Do teas work in hydro as well?
Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

Haven't heard of anyone doing straight teas and hydro.
I know I'm not the first thats going to try to put a drip irrigation system with teas working with it with my soil. So I guess it might be consider semi-hydro. I guess a step between soil and hempy buckets.

I've recently been looking into an NFT organic hydro system. I want to get off dirt. It's too messy for the house every time I go to transplant I have to clean the room and it's supposed to be stealth, not very stealthy with 2 totes full of dirt in the middle of the room 
The thing is I don't want to go buy a bunch of bottle nutrients I got a bunch of organic soil amendments, I just have to do some more reading on how to make a safe nutrient solution for the plants.
I don't know if I will go through with it or not, I got a couple months coming up that I'm shutting the grow down. So lots of reading time and time to tinker with the set up. I got a couple moms I will be keeping for the summer, that way I have at least some knowledge of the plant before I try something completely new.
Thinking a 2 tube six site NFT would fit perfect in my small closet and allow me to still have room for a couple soil girls while I learn. Might even start off with some veggies, just to try it out. I've seen a system where they used a soil/soiless mix on the top three inches of the pot where they applied teas then the rest of the hydro system was pure water this seems interesting but it also seems like its going to have a lot of issues with blockages from soil and teas getting into the system. They say the top three inches of roots are the roots specialized for nutrient uptake while the lower roots are better at water uptake. They say in the article it's easier then normal hydro, it seems super complicate to me
There's always something exciting and new to try. I'm sure when I get closer to a decision the guys on here can shed some light. I know Hamish was speaking of going back to hydro as well.

One of the best growers i have ever seen, Genuity, has used teas in hydro with the most unreal of results. I have run teas once through an ebb and flow system and it worked well for me.

Maybe if someone has time they can explain how and what to use. or i suppose i can look it up.. thanks guys.

Here is a link to where I asked Genuity about it and his explanations... Easy as pie man.

Anyhow, some of the gear from this test run. Gage brings the fire. They really do. Hard to grow anybody else's gear once you get used to this level of dankness...

Very interesting information ! thank you gandalf and everybody : ), i got to page 20 but im still reading ! Mad Hamish i see you from ZA bro ! Those buds look amazing ! I was wondering if you have compiled a Organic Soil or Soiless mix with the limited amendments here in ZA ? Ive been compiling a list of what amendments are available although i was wondering if you have come accross any good local organic mixes ? Much Respect, you people really know your shit and just those first 20 pages blew my mind. Peace & Respect !

Aweh !!! Haha i love all bud bro ! Been collecting strains from "indoor" sometimes the indoor i get here comes with seeds my favourite must be the super lemon kush, lemon haze, mango kush, exodus cheese , i have some feminized - kandy kush , the church , jack flash i bought. Also got one chemdog seed. Wud really dig to see the outcomes as the seeds must definitely be a bit different to what i smoked.

Hahahaha man for a while I thought you were my old partner in crime rocking up to the thread. Well now it is a pleasure running into another Saffa right here on this thread of all places lol...
You have some good beans to play with, it is all about the phenotypes and what you hang on to to keep in the end.
Tell those amateurs running the herm factories you are about to kick their bud in the nuts lol... Don't plant bag-seed from indoor crops. It is usually either a hermaphrodite flower, or slow male. Neither are something you want as part of the genetic background to your crop. Stick to the stuff you paid your hard-earned money for, you will be really happy you did.
Anyway, as far as amendments go, which area are you in? I can tell you where to go and who to phone in the Cape area only, availability is pretty regional you will be amazed. If anywhere close to CT I can help out though,

Thank you for your kind help bro ! Lol ive been on the forums for a few years, got some help biilding my cab etc , choosing the right equipment but yeah ran into problems getting a place.
Will keep away from the collected bagseed ! So u think the guy was making a hermie factory ? Haha i was charged ridiculously for bud with seeds ! And he asked me to keep them for him !
Bro im dying to move to CT trust me i dont like gauteng man ! I cud order online i guess though, thank you and respect !
Ps. Dont wanna hijack this thread lol

No such thing, all the info is good info. Been thinking of opening a little organic web store. But damn man, you can find anything in Joburg lol... It is all about knowing the trade names here. Usually same as Aus. What is it you are still missing?...
