Pour it out and start again would be a safer option. Brewing tea with such a pour oxygen source is a great way to breed harmful pathogens like ecoli.
Already strained it and diluted it fair bit into larger bucket with rain water. Only air pump i got unless i run the compressor threw it. Dont think me neighbours would like hearing the old girl kick over every couple hrs to recharge..
Outt everything ive read about making teas i never come across the part about breeding ecoli or anything like that:wall:

dude you have to strain it, with like cheese cloth or a blue cloth wipe, then dilute it in a bigger bucket, if you just use a little aqua pump, to keep the water/tea moving.

i'll go take a photo in a min

Im running almost the same as you i reckon from wat i see there..
I used composted manure, cap of gogo juice, cple tbl spoon of molasses cap of seaweed and few caps of blood an bone meal. Main thinkin was to add stuff that will help raise nitrogen levels.

Do you run straight mushroom compost or do you add anything else? Medium wise not nute

S1010080.JPG

i dilute it again about 50% to get about to 400 to 500ppm

S1020057.JPG



and amazingly ph stays relativley normal

S1020059.JPG

no nutes no ph up or down
just weed food

apparently you can use this stuff throughout a grow

ive always used cana or dutchmaster, in the past, but starting to go organic now

Great guide on how to go about making tea for us rookies out here..
After adding it all to the 44gal how long do you let it brew for..
20L is biggest bucket i got after leaving it brew for awhile i plan on diluting it down more before i feed plants with it.

The final product looks clear as coming outta that pipe. How many litres off tea you end up with before you dillute it in the 44gal

brewing, usually over night,

but i have used it straight up, if its diluted by half

once you made a little system of buckets, seives, and a plastic 44 ressy tank, you can pour this water on anything, like fruit trees or weed

and they will grow mad
