Organic Tea DWC. Will this work??

Will This work??
I was thinking of using a tea made of bat guano, blood meal, EWC’s, a pinch of wood ash, and Epsom salt. Letting it sit for 2-3 days( No bubbling). Diluting the tea in a 10-1 ratio and using it for a DWC reservoir . Basically bubbling the tea in the res. I want to use a hanging bag of peat in the reservoir to try and buffer the PH. I’m hoping to not have to change the res but once every 7days once dialed in.
I’m not into having to adjust the PH, everyday because of wicked drift. My water PH is 5.9
 
Will this work???

I don't know about your water pH and those issues, but I can say I brew my own EWC teas, then filter them through ac filters, and the roots love it in my RDWC! Guano works good, too, but I would stay away from anything sea/ocean-borne, as it can cause algae blooms, and stay away from anything with carbs or sugars, as it will feed pythium. Use an enzyme product like Multizyme or Hygrozyme, and that will provide just enough carbs to keep those bennies going. As far as not adding any other salt based ferts, you may have slow growth in DWC w/o salts also. Just use bennies to biologically preserve your roots, but feed like normal. Age Old Bloom organic works decently in DWC, and I've heard of people using Pure Vida with good results, too! You can use guanos and all those you mentioned as sources of NPK, but you will be lacking trace/micro elements. You might need to pick up just a pure micro mix, either GH or a dry mix. I don't recommend any Earth Juice products, especially the micro, as they will gunk up in DWC.

I'm thinking about that kind of experiment too.i'm also afraid of pythium and other "bad things".my idea to avoid them is adding Efective Microorganisms(EM) to my tea, pure lacto bacili also should work,but i'm not shure cause i didn't try it yet.my friend use it in his garden and claims that they do amazing job for his soil and plants.

peace
