Hey folks, Greenthumb has a bit of information to pass along.

I have stopped brewing my modified tea!

I now have a replacement for my tea that i am more than happy with the results.

As some of you know, i use Gen Hydro's Subculture-M in my brewed tea.

Well i now use it on its own as a root drench. I simply add one tablespoon to 4gals of unchlorinated water and mix it up, then apply it to the base of the stalk of my plants.

I am also now using Subculture-B, Bacillus Root Inoculant, on the days I'm not using the Subculture-M.

I do not mix it up the same as above. It is mixed in the ratio of 1 teaspoon per 5gals, but i just use 4gals for a little more concentration in the solution. If you want a more concentrated, aggressive application, simply add 1 teaspoon to 1gal of water, mix and use immediately.

I am seeing more rapid root growth and much whiter roots than when using my modified tea..

Here is an example of how quickly my roots are growing now.. This plant was transplanted into this 1gal container only 6 days ago:

I wont be going back to brewing tea again. The only ingredient that i am continuing to use is Aquashield. i now apply it only as a foliar spray!

I also have purchased water conditioner, since i have such low PPM tap water already, simply to remove the chlorine and chloramine from my water, so it does not kill off my beneficial bacteria. now i dont have to wait a day bubbling water to evaporate the chlorine and such from my 4gal bucket.

A 500ml bottle will treat up to 5000gals of water, which will last me quite awhile!

Happy growing everyone!
