Nice I think that may be the same one that I am using here is the flower
For 5 gallons of Water add in a tea bag
2/3 cup Earth Worm Casting
2/3 Cup High P Guano
5 Tsp Sea kelp 1-0-6
5 Tblsp Aurora Trinity Bio Catylyst
5 Tblsp Black Strap Molasses
This recipe works wonders it is magic in my eyes. I usually feed with every watering with this tea. Is that the one you are using?

pretty close, my flower recipe : 5 gal brewer
1c home made compost
2/3c peruv seabird guano
1 1/3c indo bat guano
5tsp liquid kelp extract
5tsp fulvic acid
5tsp humic acid
3Tbs molasses
3Tbs humbolt honey es
a splash of voodoo juice
sometimes great white mycorhizae
the recipe always changes. last time around i dropped 1/3c off the amount of seabird guano and added 1/3c to the indo bat guano. just cus it seemed i was giving too much nitrogen.
the main difference in my teas vs organics for beginers is i dumped the liquid karma and added fulvic and humic acid and the honey es. this time around i have humic acid already in my soil so i stopped using it as much in my tea. ill be dropping the honey es as soon as it runs out, its basically just molasses. ill be trying out this high brix molasses soon too.
i taper off the seabird guano entirely by the end of flower. i flush for 2 weeks. i know they say you dont need to flush organics, the finished quality is nicer to smoke when i do.

D9, you get a front row seat.
i shouldnt be up so late but i drank coffee, which i rarely do ever anymore. perfect time to let yall know what im doin.
I'll be updating pics soon, just in the process of caging the ladies at the moment. not like its a big deal or anything, i just wanna have something new to show. back yard neighbor has been working in his garden, which makes it hard for me to be out making noise in mine. i can imagine the, "hey whatcha doin back there buddy? sounds like you have a garden too, my name is friendly neighbor and id love to see what ya got goin..." it just gives me, "home impovement" flashbacks.
meanwhile ive been catching up with basic research and script updating among other things. got some new clones of kananga, blue dream and the pineapple thai. currently hot boxing them with the sulfer burner in the now eerily vacant veg room. ever since my bout with powdery mildew ive made it a habit to always suflur vape anything new.
swapped out three plants in the garden with more vigorous and larger alternates. they are now in the process of hating life until they recover.
reloaded the garage flower room. trying some new shit with 2 600w ushio mh bulbs replacing the 2 center 600w hps.
played around with some new (for me) teas. been hitting the ladies every other day with tea foliar feedings. first i tried a fungal tea but screwed up and put mollasses in it. then a microbe tea with molasses and the powder part of the brix mix (liquid is on back order, thanks guys lol) along with calcium 25/liquid fish/pressed kelp/org yucca extract/serenade/spinosad. today finally made a proper fungal tea without molasses. i have to say, the ladies are loving all this foliar action and the tomatoes and passion fruit are goin ape shit over it. i have tomatoes already, and a buttload of passion flowers turning into baby passion fruit. you know, i think from now on i will always grow passion fruit.
i got a bunch of hortonova netting, but its white. the plan is to use hortonova after this 2nd stage of caging in filled out.
thats all for now farmers, check back for some pics.

the only real difference between flower and veg teas are the amount of guanos used, a swapping of high phosphorous jamaican or indonesian bat guano for a high nitrogen guano like mexican bat guano, and the frequency of the feedings.
veg tea recipe for 5 gal is :
1/3 c per seabird guano
1/3 c mexican bat guano
1/3 c compost or worm casting
molasses/humic/fulvic/pressed kelp/humboldt honey es
this is fed every 3rd watering or so. i'll take the portions all the way up to 1c each when the plants get large enough, adjust feeding amount on a per plant basis. not very scientific but it gets the job done.

hahah oh man i dont know whats gonna happen with the smell. id say thats an issue anywhere though. i was reading through mendocino mmj guidelines and i guess that was a major complaint by neighbors and one of the reasons that county has a 5 acre minimum property requirement to grow. we'll see.
the neighbors to the right are all old so they shouldnt be an issue as far as bein able to smell. the one im concerned with is the neighbor to the back. he has a small farm with chickens and lots of dogs for some reason. rare in la for sure. in a different world i would have introduced myself to him a long time ago, shot the shit and had a direct connect for pidgeon and chicken manure. my impression is that hes very corn fed and possibly very republican. hopefully hes the, "fuck the govt i love my privacy and respect yours" type of guy.
at the least he hasnt brought up the battle of the dogs through the fence issue. those dogs arent well mannered and will fight each other and snarl whenever they get fed. thats like pitbull crack, just too hard for ma boy to resist all that crazy energy. he would ram the back fence when they bark at him, go nuts snarling and barking. that was before i trained him not to. they still bark at him though, and he'll look over at me like, "oh please oh please can i step up". whenever i see him march over to the back wall, alls i have to do is snap and and glare and he makes this dejected uturn back to me.
i think the trick to training pitbull/mixes is to teach them to control that tendency to stop thinking when they get excited. i'll get him all riled up, jumping around, like this:
then i make him sit, and praise him. repeat. repeat. i think thats helped him tremendously.
enough dog rambling, time for an quick pic update:
can you see the forrest through the trees?

Looking good man. I have several pitbulls and you are spot on as far as teaching them to control it when they get excited.

Exactly, teaching them to control their excitement. as smart as pitts are, thats the hardest thing for them to get down... but things get alot less hectic when they do learn..
I have the same problem as you LH with my boy and the nieghbors.. I even have the prob with 12 acres... 2 different neighbors dogs always bark at my boy, and he likes to jump lol... all 120 lbs of him... not much gate between them either..
Always love to see your pics bro... cant wait to see those bushes soon in your cozy little LA! backyard... sweet deal

Grow sounds nice, localhero..even though not a pic is loading for me out here in the woods on the iphone. Bummer.
On your corn-fed neighbor..lot of those type around here, and most of them are growing as well. You might be cool with him after all, and sounds like it'd be a good hookup for chicken shit. I'll try to check out your pics when I'm in town.

Looking good hero, one thing I'll give you as a tip: That caging is of a fairly tight weave, if needed- don't be afraid to snip out some "windows" if you need to access the inner plant for pruning as they get large...they also may need help growing through those 2X4 slots, give em a hand as needed...
Hope that helps as you move forward, plants look GREAT overall bro...

funny you mention that Rootwise, i was just outside checking if i can bend any more branches through the cages and wondering if the holes are too small. thanks man!
your grow is one of the most respected on here, great to see you and Fisher stop by
Fisher lol i was thinking the same thing about him growing. i noticed he had some camo netting out, and he covers his roof vents with plastic trash bags (i dont know what that means, but its unusual). last summer he had some guys come in and prune some trees. he would have to have some big balls to have people trim trees at the end of summer with any bud growing. cant wait to see your thread Fisher!

just curious how your trips in to tea brewing are going

I am curious... do you add your compost tea to your main reservoir or apply individually to each plant? you said something about having 14 gallons total brewing and you have a total of 14 plants? so that would equal about one gallon of compost tea per hundred gallons of soil? sorry I am new to this compost tea and am trying to get away from chemicals as much as I can. I havent seen anything really in the growing large plants thread and saw that you are creating yours now... Your grow is looking good and I am very impressed with the small space. I have something quite smaller going but hopefully I will do alright.
