Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to help me out , I am trying to absorb as much as I can , looking in my area , the easiest thing to get is voodoo juice. I can’t even get recharge to deliver to my house . Bummer heard amazing things from a few different sources , do you mind me asking how much it initially cost you to buy everything for the AACT ? I’m just curious if I should just get the voodoo now and start accumulating the AACT ingedients , I’m just on a tight budget. But I do want to get everything for the act , it’s something that I’m excited to start playing with, like I said this is my second grow and first in organics , organics have made my grow more enjoyable and a lot less bullshit , with ec and Ppm I used to be stressed at feeding time. Thank you very much @Emilya
What book is that from em , do they have ones for seedling stage /veg . I want to get “ teaming with microbes” I really need to expand my knowledge. But I really hope I can bring my medium back to par , I am relying on my micro life to feed my plant , and I’m not doing a very good job maintaining that. But this plant looks a lot better then my last run at this point. Thanks em
Look at what is in the Ingredients Dean on those packets and see if you can search for something similar also I've been told molasses back strap organic can help add microbes as well.Now I can’t find it on Canadian amazon or any of my local hydro stores. I just can’t find it here in Canada
You can get a cheap little pump Dean at Walmart to run those stones bro I make act last year using mollases ewc in a cheese cloth with few others in it and brewed 18-24 hrs then use . Boost those microbes it comes.down to finding ways to keep those roots happy . I need to find something myself to get my darn autos to take off. Lol
I initially spent $125 to buy the raw ingredients from Amazon in order to build my SubCool's supersoil, 1/4 recipe. I still have enough of the raw materials that only now, 6 years into the project, I am having to replenish some of the often used ingredients such as bat guano and rock phosphate. I regularly buy a bag of wormcastings, Big Bloom is what it is, but mostly it is either stuff on hand or little bits and pieces that have to be bought from time to time.
That is from The Rev's, "True Living Organics" 2nd printing--- I strongly suggest getting this book... it changed my life!What book is that from em , do they have ones for seedling stage /veg .

It would be impossible to recreate the freeze dried goodness in Recharge. They individually culture out specific microbes in separate vats and then combine all that goodness into this one product. You would have to run an incredible amount of successful compost teas and fungus cultures to even get close to this product. This is why I have decided to test this product by not doing any AACTs on this run, just trusting in the Recharge to get me through. Unsulfured Black-strap molasses is not a source for microbes, it is a perfect food for them, therefore is included in every compost tea recipe.
A cheap pump won't do it. The whole idea of the active aeration is that with all that turbulence and oxygen going in there, the anaerobic (bad) bacteria can not thrive. Even an aquarium pump designed for a 300g tank would not be strong enough to do a proper AACT and keep the bad microbes from growing. Start at about 750gph and you will be fine... my pump from Amazon cost around $35 USD.
I stand corrected... I wonder what the output of that one is. Remember that it is called AACT... ACTIVELY aerated... not just aerated. My pump would blow half of the tea out of the pitcher if I filled it above 3/4 and even so I brew it sitting down inside an empty 5gal bucket, just to catch all the spill over. You should not be timid with an AACT.
Molasses feeds the microbes...Simple sugars
That actually looks pretty good and since they talk about 19 species and VJ only mentions 9, just the ad hype says its better. I would give it a try if it is cheaper.
Thank you ,
Wow I am going to find “teaming with microbes” and “ true living organics “ 2nd printing to be precise. This is such amazing and useful information, thanks for sharing and clarifying this for me
