Good idea for a thread, "I". Would also like to see what people have to say to your questions. Will be keeping track of this one.

my ladies need watering once a week or so. i feed them tea 2 out of 3 waterings, the third is a flush with just water.
my tea has alalfa, bat guano, earth worm castings, kelp, molasses, enzyme, and a litle this and that.

If going from seed, i usually hit them with a tea consisting of wormcastings at a rate of 1 TBL each per gallon of water once the Cateloyds (i know that is spelled wrong) start to yellow.You can also add a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses and let it bubble for around 24 hours, this helps to feed the herd and gets things moving. This gives them a nice non burnable nitrogen shot to help them along. Other then that i don't use teas very much cuz all my nutes are mixed into the medium ahead of time and are usually sufficient. Sometimes i hit them with a High P bat quano tea halfway thru flowering if i think it will help, but this go around i didnt and things are looking good. As for the kelp.... I use Thrive alive B1 (green) every watering.. cutting back to everyother watering during flowering. This thrive alive is basically liquid kelp with a few other things added. Next run i think imma order some Maxicrop cuz i hear good things about it. Liquid karma sounds tasty also!

I used Indonesian Bat Guano tea every other watering in flowering. I had excellent results with some nice frosty nugs.

hey. Im kinda new to this whole tea thing. Is a tea pretty much whatever you throw together into one bottle and mix pretty much?
I use fish emulsion and kelp for each watering. Sometimes I go low on the fish but i always give them a nice dose of Kelp. They love it! sometimes double or triple doses.

Minds_I- Are you referring to nutrient teas or teas for the purpose of introducing/maintaining microbial populations (which is pretty much the same thing in a much milder form)?
Hello all,
Well, I have discovered I may be using too much ewc/veggie compost and Kellogg's Patio Plus(chicken shit premix).
I have been using a 1/2 cup of each to a half gallon of water.
1 tbsn molasses
a dose of liquid kelp (about 3 cc's)
about 3 cc's of Alaska fish
and four toasted mini wheats for the carbos.
Bubble 24 hours-nice head of foam-smells earthy. Good stuff Maynard.
So, I am thinking of going to 2 tbsn each of ewc/commpost and Kelloggs, 1 tbsn molasses, 3 cc's liquid kelp, 2 cc's AF and grains for carbos.
So, can I use this all the time or should I alternate?
Also, how often can you foliar spray withthe tea?

i spray weekly in veg, and a week or two into flower. although i once sprayed a tea in week 5 of flower to slow down a powdery mildew problem. the brown tea stained the leaves and some flowers a little, but it washed off (mostly)

the pm abated, but didnt go away. i tried H2O2 1.5% on a couple of plants and it worked better, but not 100%. but the plants i sprayed appeared okay. ill spray the whole room today

I'd say it depends on the strength of the tea/how long you let it sit and bubble.
I got away on my last grow with teas containing 1tbs wc, 1-3tbs guano, 1tbs molasses, and kelp (per gallon) every watering with good results. I probably could have used less, but never saw any signs of over fertilizing with the tea.

great info
Hello all,
I would like to get your opinion of a plant heath issue.
I mentioned I was using way too much ewc/compost and kelloggs chicken shit potting soil. It is pretty hot-I always seemed to cook seedlings in no matter how much I cut it.
So, could one burn a freshly rooted cutting in a medium hot soil givng them the tea and foliar feed them with it?
COuld this be my problem here:
Does the seconf pic (all of the same plant) look like a potassium def.?
http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=27158
Have I overferted them?
Now, just plain casting tea is ok but not with the addition of guanos makes sense.
I am going to just use pH'ed water w/ liquid kelp the next watering unless the problem progresses. Then I will just flsh with pH'ed water only.
