Hey Azimuth, thanks for the detailed info on fish emulsion and air stones. Totally get the part about cleaning the stones to avoid any anaerobic microbes. Got a question though, how often do you brew your teas? And any favorite recipes?Or pulled out and sold like fish oil for pills.
Correct. And do it at ambient temperatures, and ideally the ambient temp of your plant(s). You want to cultivate the microbes that will thrive in the plants' environment, not one 20* cooler like if you brew in the basement but the grow is two stories up.
Fish tank air stones are commonly used, but they're not the best because they're hard to clean. Making the teas will leave a biofilm on everything it touches and if you don't clean it promptly you'll have it on there forever. And that provides real estate for anaerobic microbes to take hold is not what you want. You could just replace them regularly, or clean them really well right after you use them.
Also, be sure to plug them in before lowering into the water. You don't want stuff being absorbed into the stone since you won't be able to clean it.
Yes, but like Gee said, on some sort of catch pan. I do mine on an upturned garbage can lid which has worked fine.
Some put all of the ingredients in a bag of some sort like a paint strainer bag. If you do that it's best to have an air stone in the bag as well. That will keep most of the solids out of the final mix. Otherwise you can strain it after if you were running it through something that could clog like a sprayer or watering can.
Not quite as good as letting everything free mix, but the air stone in the bag (and another on the bottom of the bucket) will do just fine.
Hey Absorber! That's a common thought, and it's fascinating how the dynamics of moisture and temperature play out, right? What kind of conditions are you working with in your setup? Always eager to learn more from fellow growers.I thought cold air was denser and held more moisture
If you are referring to this post,Indoors:
Well, I don't need to run my dehumidifier during the winter time( less humidity for me) but hurts yield a little bit with colder temps
Summer time, more yield but really need to watch RH. So, I think high RH and temps aren't a good combination.
Regardless of medium
No doubt bro, not trying to prove a point but think that's a very board statement based on your situation. Definitely agree with any environment 72 is too low for 40 RH.If you are referring to this post,
"That usually means if you increase temps, you should probably increase RH"
well if your operating at 72F and 40 RH and crank it up to 85F and don't raise RH, well... try it. But also run a 2nd grow beside it and raise RH and improve air movement accordingly, and see which is better.
No 2nd grow and your opinion doesn't hold much weight, its just an opinion. 2nd grow results, I'm all ears
No no your not a dick lol. And please don't leave. And I have seen your plants, hard not to respect that.I didn't mean to sound like a dick brother! I'll dip out of the journal it's your show!
I have an algae bloom on my tent floor every August.
Honestly I don't brew them all that much lately as I have been focused on my Jadam extracts.Got a question though, how often do you brew your teas? And any favorite recipes?

If you need any assistance I have walked a lot of online VPD streets, so I may not have the exact answer you need, but for sure I can point you in a direction. The best VPD calculator I have found is in the google play store and suprisingly enough, its called VPD Calculator lol.Thanks Gee, the VPD info is something i want to take a look at now that you've helped shed light on it and made it easier to understand
