Hi all,
I am a new member here on the Forum and hope to get your guy's opinion on this matter
Recently I've switched from a recirculating system using GH products to an inline dosatron system with veg+blooms product [part A, Part b and shine].
When I was doing the recirculating system I would just Brew a tea once a week and add that to my 80 gallon Reservoir every time I would make a new mix or change out.
Now that am DTW and using a dosatron system I have been trying to figure out how get my ogb teas backup in my regiment without having to hand water. I am not affraid to admit I'm a little confused on how to implement ogb teas with the dosatron system and have proper dilution ratios ect without having tea clog my system and have tea sit in my sprinkler lines and go anaerobic
So yesterday I made a plan to brew a 30-gallon tea in my Vortex brewer and planed to hand water each plant with the concentrated tea approximately two cups for each 6-inch hugo Cube
My 30 gal tea recipe I made yesterday.
30 gallons of 0 PPM RO water
600 ml's of BSM
PH my water to 6.8 water temp was 70 degrees
Then in a separate one liter piture I mixed 30 tablespoons of the ogb root pack and 30 tablespoons of the ogb foliar pack and mixed with 0 PPM water I let it sit for 10 minutes and then poured off the top into my Brewer
I then added about five cups of alfalfa meal and 5 cups of ewc and suspended in a tea bag with three different quarter inch air hoses submerged in the tea bag.
Along with about an eighth of a teaspoon of yucca extract. I let it brew for about 18 to 20 hours.
At the end of The Brew cycle the ppm's we're about 550 on a 500 scale and the pH was about 7.7 / 7.8 water temps around 72
I intended to hand water [soil drench] with the concentrated tea but the pH levels kind of threw me for a loop.
Should i have watered with the concentrated tea at 7.8 ph? My tyipical feeding pH range is anywhere from about 5.8 to 6.0
In the end I ended up filling up about 30 gallons of RO water in a 60 gallon sterile garbage can. I ph'd the 30 gal of RO 0 PPM water to 4.0 then added about 100 ml's of BSM to neutralize water then added the whole 30 gals of the concentrated tea to that. In the end my ph level was about 6.8 - 6.9 which I still thought was too high but didn't want to dilute anymore so i hand watered with ph at 6.8-6.9. I would really like to know what would have been tge best approach in that case. My cubes were very light so I was concerned of having high pH levels since they were super thirsty
Thanks for taking the time to read this lengthy thread any help or input you might have would be greatly appreciated
