Honestly dime, you don't need to go out and buy any expensive nutes. You are right that compost teas (supplemented a little bit with an inexpensive micronute package) will probably give your plants what they need through flowering.

Thank you for nominating me, BTW.

I really do like the idea of the tea. I remember some of your recipie and will go back and read up, but don't remember how much of each you used. Would you mind sharing again? :)

And you're welcome on the nomination! You have helped alot of us out, enjoy all that free shit!

Compost tea:

1. put 2 cups of mushroom compost, or composted manure, or bat guano into a 5 Gal bucket.

2. fill halfway with water.

3. put an airstone in there and start aerating the mix.

4. add a couple tablespoons of blackstrap molasses into the mix.

5. brew for 2-3 days

6. take out the airstone, fill the bucket with water to make 5 Gallons of tea and use that to water your plants.

Alternatively, you can put the compost into a sock or pantyhose. I usually don't do that. I just clean the airstone once a day.

Thanks Hemp, hopefully I'll have some nugs like that in a few months. There are so many good nugs from so many good growers I feel a bit strange being in the same contest with them. I wish them all :goodluck:

You freaking rock my man! :headbang:

Sorry for more questions!...

I'll try and find the mushroom compost but the hydro shop has like four different types of guano, which one should I look for if I can't find the mushroom stuff?

How long will the tea last? The girls won't need quite that much at once but I could make less too.

Thanks again Mr. Member of the Month! (I guess that term has a different meaning for Hydrologist now...tee hee..."Member"...:rofl:) Love ya buddy!
 
Re: dirtinmyears P-91, CFL 12-Pack, SCROG, DWC 1st Grow

For flowering, look for the guano that is lower in N. Those are usually the Peruvian, Jamaican, or Indonesian I believe. The Mexican guano is higher in N so you can use that for Veg but since you're going to flip them right away get the other stuff that is higher in P.

As long as you keep aerating it and feeding it molasses, the tea can last for weeks. Just make SURE that you keep aerating it because if those organisms don't have air they will die and potentially make your tea unusable. You are right my friend, you can make less or use the rest for your houseplants or plants outside.

I'd rep you again but I can't yet. :thankyou:

I have plenty of air stones and two air pumps just sitting in a bin. I can use the rest of the tea outside on my flower beds. It's funny, I stuck a roll of this green fabric type stuff that was packed with seasonal seeds of various flowers into two of my tree planters last year and they never grew. The last 2 weeks they have shot out all over, crazy huh?

The unintended consequences of growing cannabis is that all my plants in the house, plants outside, and my lawn look so lush! :) Some seeds just germinate whenever they want. Here's an interesting fact: some seeds, such as raspberries, blackberries, and many fruit trees have to spend a winter in the ground before they germinate.

Green is good.:thumb: See there...you really can learn something new everyday.

I just picked up some sweet basil seeds I'm going to get moving soon. With the Fox Farms OF and the compost tea recipie, I should have some BIG fresh herbs to go along with my fresh herb! May just stick the basil outside though, plenty of sun as spring is sweeping through.

Now off to the hydro shop to get some shit (pun intended), and molasses.

Re: dirtinmyears P-91, CFL 12-Pack, SCROG, DWC 1st Grow

Well, I went over to the shop but tripped over a bottle of "Budswel" so to speak. The guy at the shop (who has thus far been very helpful with the soil, SNS, and Hygrozyme) pointed out Budswel after I told him what I wanted to make. I have seen it before and have noticed a post or two on it but I thought it was more of a "Term with a Typo" than an actual fert. This is some info on it from the web:

Budswell, a mix of high-phosphorus bat guano, worm castings, and seabird guano, boosts production in fruit trees and fruit-bearing vines like watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, squash and grapes. Budswell Liquid Bat Guano is also an excellent base mix for roses or flowering beds. This liquid concentrate (0.01-0.1-0.01) is easy to use as a water-on fertilizer, is an ideal companion mix to our Super Tea, and produces some of the best fruit you'll ever sink your teeth into. Undoubtedly it is one of the finest organic fruiting fertilizers available anywhere.

Be IRIE has used it, I'm still going through an old journal of his to see what happened.

It comes in a one gal bottle for about $30.00 and you only use 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water, so I would end up paying a bit more in the beginning but can make up 128 gals (@ 2 tbsp) or 256 gals (1 tbsp) of juice for the girls for the next few grows.

Didn't buy anything yet...

Let me know what you find out...from IRIE's journal. That's not a bad price, maybe I'll get it too if I can find it in my area.

Looks good so far... I'll keep looking for more or just post up a new thread and ask the other members how it's worked for them.

Re: dirtinmyears P-91, CFL 12-Pack, SCROG, DWC 1st Grow

Thanks both of you!

Man I finally got to watch Donald Trumps roast and almost pissed myself!

Don't know if you guys saw it but seeing the Jersey Shore D-bag bomb on stage then get his ass handed to himself reminded me of that funny little kid that was talking smack.

Ahh... Good times!
