You don’t have to keep it at 86 degrees for a week. Get you some of those ph strips that get down pretty low and check it periodically. My first time I used organic molasses which I found out has a ph buffer that will either take longer or you can add double the molasses I think to get the ph down. It’s in my notes somewhere. Here is the best video I found from Teraganix.
Cool, thanks man!
When I do it , I do it in the grow space, the temperature is just right , make me LAB in there too , never failed two years now .
Good call. I'll try that too. Good lookin out.
We are in the boat , ideas and learning from each other, is the only way forward
Agreed. Thanks for the info. What kind of molasses do you use?
You also need to keep it at temp for about a week. I used a cooler with a seed heating mat inside to maintain temps.
Black strap molasses no sulfur added!
So just the same molasses as used for compost tea?
Yep, you are basically doing the same thing, feeding microbes
For sure. It should be easy then.
Yea I seen that on the video. I was trying to do the activation with what I already have. I don't have a cooler or aquarium heater, so I was hoping to figure out a different way. In my tent should work. I hope. Lol
Yeah if your tent has decently high temps just put the bottle in a trash bag or something to keep it away from the light and you should be good to go! Make sure to leave some space in your bottle for gas expansion also. Good luck man!
Got this in September 2020 use outdoor and greenhouse too, paid 137$ they bring to the door , 20kg
I cover it with dark fabric on the top and old newspapers on the sides
Thanks man. I'll probably need it. Lol
Is the tube like a make shift airlock for gas to get out?
Nah it's super easy! Just get the environment correct and the microbes will do the work!
Yes boss that’s what it is , so in the grow room the gases are used up too.
