Water ph, yes, but It's a cheapy. I was thinking of buying something better. It puts my well water at about 7.9 ph.

Start by making just a gallon at a time, you got houseplants?, mine get my leftover teas and they just about run us out they grow so nice. Get a cow pattie, a moose pattie would be better, you just want to make sure that the shit comes from animals that haven't been fed gmo's. In one gallon of water, break up the shit into powder and put it in the water, or, what I do is put the shit in a sock so I don't have to filter it. Put about a baseballs worth in there, or in the sock, you need an aquarium air pump if you can get one, if not just stir it now and again. If you're gonna grow you are gonna need blackstrap molasses, most of us use the shit out of it, put a tbsp. in the bucket. Get 1 cup of that peat moss lookin stuff you showed in the pic., that could go in the sock with the shit. If you get an aquarium pump put an airstone on the hose to get fine bubbles, tie the sock off to the bucket handle above the bubbles. Let that mixture bubble for 24 hrs and then check the ph. I would say that the ph will be around 5.9 or 6, maybe a little lower with the peatmoss stuff, if it's low, add your water til the ph comes up to around 6.5. Try to test it on a houseplant. You will know pretty quick if it's too hot.....the houseplant will show you, you just want to test it on a plant that's in a container. You'll get the hang of it, when we start a custom tea we don't know exactly how hot it is............but I would add at least 2 gallons of water to it to get the strength down for starters. The only way you're going to figure out how strong to make any concoction is to apply it in different concentrations til it burns........then back off the concentration. Anybody else with any ideas?, I make shit this way all the time, and everyone probly makes it a little different...it will supercharge plants.....NOT seedlings or YOUNG clones....they have enough nutrients in the soil to last til they're well established, if I could get some of that stuff I saw in the pic I could give you a better idea about it!
