Was intending to hit 'em with a nutrient tea - got some plants in 7 gallon containers that should probably be in 15 gallons that have been showing signs of deficiencies for a little while now - started hitting them with bottled organic nutes about a week ago and they're starting to look better, they've had nothing but water for the last couple of waterings so I wanted to give 'em a little something.
EWC and molasses will be an "every watering" tea. Betting my brewer ends up running 24/7 pretty much unless I run it in my 55 gallon barrel. Don't really like using bottles (but I keep a set on hand, just in case) and my plants have been over-sized for a few runs now, wanting to see if I can't push the plants to perform in only 7 gallons of soil. Spent less than $100 on my brewer and that's what I spend for a set of bottles. Can't hurt.

as a bottled nute replacement, i could see one doing much worse & i commend that approach
similarly, i am trying to lengthen the stint in 1 gals for some clones & applying something like that but i still tend to top-dress {fish meal or NSM} and my teas are micro-life reinforcement ~one could tend to wonder what the difference is between watering CTs through a top-dress just like one might wonder why not just water through an EWC mulch {vs CT} moreover, an EWC mulch does accomplish both when it's homemade castings & you've nutrient-cycled

I've read these articles with interest for awhile. In the picture of the twenty gallon, does the black tube go into the tee? Where exactly?
Does it have a diffuser? What size Sweetwater diffuser for the elemental 1744, with the 1.25 ID? I keep getting hung up on the diffuser. Thanks |

Been using my brewer for two outdoor seasons now. Just water at high pressure after each use and she is good to go.

Heady mutha fuckin Blunts I would like to thank you my good sir...and may I humbly say you are the fucking man. I've been up since 230 in the AM (its now almost 700) trying to put together a properly functioning airlift style brewer...was having some difficulties to say the least so I came here to ask a few questions and all it took was one look at the pic you posted of your design and BOOM!!!! got that shit flowing like a fountain. I made a few mods I think are benificial that helped with increasing the pressure within the design (very similar to yours...thank you again) I put together. Excited but too tired to post pics now but I will if you do not mind. And for any who are taking in the info found posted in this thread who do not know the extraordinary power of compost tea I emphatically employ you to experiment with making and using properly brewed AACT and experience the awesome benifits...trust me your plants will love you for it.
peace and CBD grease. |
