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.

kowhite will become famous soon enough
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.
