Hello OM. Thanks for that.

I hear you, but the OBBT is based on a specific pre-loading of organic sources, and only requires a very occasional addition / supplementation. Not much. I'm thinking a brew pail for a supplementation (maybe a month into the veg) and another for the veg or foliar feeding.
 
2 gallons is a little small but you could swing that. I really prefered 3 as a minimum, but whatevs. I've got some good nute recopies in the origional thread, they should be on the first couple of pages. Then check out the thread "FOLIAR FEEDING FRENZY" here in the organic hydro forums. I've posted my ultimate hormone-boosted foliar spray regime in there. Good luck and happy gardening!

I'll use three gallon black pails then. No biggie, I'm just wanting to order black pails of all sizes at once.

I've read your posts in the foliar thread. I'm down with it.

Thanks. Getting close now.

Regarding Fish Emulsion and Bat Guano, any particular brands? There are different Guanos available.

Thanks
