mushroom compost

[mushroom head]

Hey guys I bought a bag of mushroom compst from walmart the otherday. I mixed it about 3:1 with my soil. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to make a tea out of the mushroom compost that I could water the plant with? Thanks

I've used that stuff for my outdoor garden plants (not cannabis) and they really like it. I've never used it in tea though, but it should be fine. You'll need additional nutrients though.

A point that you may want to consider....

"What IS a very good argument against mushroom compost, is that it has been sterilized. Adding microbiology to your soil is one of the primary advantages to compost, and that microbiology is vital to the disease prevention and and supplying nutrients to your plants. Spent mushroom compost simply does not provide these benefits. And don't even bother trying to make compost tea out of it."
