Does anyone here have experience to share on this line? Out of everything I've come across, I think I'm a pretty big fan of it. I try to avoid liquid nutes as much as possible, so this caught my attention. I used it last run, and went through my flowering jar already (made it almost 2 runs on plants in 7-10G pots). I haven't used their humic blend very much, except a bit in my soil pile, so I can't really give feedback on that. But last run, my flowers were very dense, rock hard. Very well formed. They have a rooting product similar to mykos, but the endos in it are negated by the trichos. The Lush Green veg blend has served me well... I've used the foliar spray a bit, but don't have a definitive opinion on that either way, yet.

Anyhow, anyone else use this line? Any usage tips?

The fat flowers is the only product of theirs that I use, pricey, but I love it. As a matter of fact, probably need to order some more......

All of their stuff is great! Quite a lot of experienced farmers also would agree

just started using fat flowers and radiant green. Will let you know how it works after this run completes.

Watch out with the fat flowers tea, it's a bubbler, I usually only fill up my brewer half way then top it off before I use it, and it still bubbles over

i'm known to use way less than suggested on the bottle. I only used 4 tablespoons for 10 gallons of water. it definitely bubbled a lot but not over my 15 gallon resevoir. Do you think that by using less I will still achieve good results, or is this a product that I can't skimp on? I have just found over time that nutrient companies encourage you to use up to 4-8x as much as you actually need. After all, it grows like and is a weed!

I use less than called for as well (but more than you, 6 tbsp for 5 gallons). I also add warmed molasses about 30 minutes before using (when I top off the water)
I'm not sure about using that much less however, never tried it

Now, if I only had a 15 gallon brewer.......nice
Homemade or purchased?

I just have an old dairy 15 gallon container with hard core handles on the sides, so I use it as a brewer/mixer.
I use two airstones and a tea bag...mixing aggressively for about a minute each direction, switching directions every twenty or so swirls. Doing that twice a day. (if any of that makes sense.) I read that aeration alone is not enough, you need agitation as well to knock the microbes out of the tea bag.

I have a diy vortex brewer (stole the idea from the Internet, hell maybe this site, memory fades) so it is somewhat agitated by the airlift

I just took it apart and cleaned it, so here's a pic
