A little help with tea?

i dilute it by 1/2. microbeman stated that teas with this recipe dont need to be diluted. what dilution does is spread the density of the microbes. so the more i dilute it, the less microbes there are in an area. by half, i am able to soak the pot with not too much microbe dilution. thanks though

ok, depends on how much you are putting in your tea, (how MUCH guano, molasses, hydrolyzed fish) small amounts i'd say are alright. But you do have a lot of nutrients in that.
if you are going for the microbes you may want to consider alfalfa meal also.

no problem, you do have the kelp already,wouldn't worry so much about the seaweed, i'd get some good alfalfa and maybe a good aloe plant from a hardware store or something, aloe is good stuff.
I'd maybe do half a cup of guano personally, but i'm a light feeder, I usually get better results from that,(although my soil is fairly amended) but all depends on the strain, considering you are diluting 2/1 i'd consider a lil less guano, especially when you are adding fish. Just me though, doesn't mean it's the gospel.
what type of guano is it? High phosphorus, seabird, etc? NPK numbers?
------ Crap, Nevermind, I just re-read that you are doing a 5 gallon batch, I was thinking it was a one gallon, one cup is perfect, but 5tsp of molasses is a lil light for 5 gallons, unless you meant tablespoons

yeah tablespoons of molasses. and as for aloe, thats a good idea. should i put it in the tea? i have aloe plants in my house that i can use to make fresh juice from. so not sure if i should feed it with the hydrolized fish, or add it to the tea itself. thanks again dude. and yeah, i was thinking about buying a bale of alfalfa and grinding it up and placing it in the tea as well as using it as a mulch below the plants.

personally I add the aloe at the end, I'm not sure all the beneficial ingredients last through the fermenting.
Probably not a bad idea to use alfalfa as a mulch, mix it with a lot of EWC.
Aloe works REALLY good as a folier spray and as a cloning agent. Kind of a miracle plant...

I don't remember who it was, but somebody on this forum has a rabbit hutch, that they line with alfalafa/hay, and the rabbits obviously fill it all up with their waste, which inevitably becomes like the mecca for a perfect base for cannabis teas...
rabbit urine, rabbit manure, and partially aged/composted alfalfa. Throw in some molasses and some kelp meal, and there ya are.

okay cool, ill probably start making aloe juice when i feed the fish by itself. great idea man. did it last year and not sure if it did much but i was still happy knowing it was being fed fresh stuff. and ive hear about cloning with it. probably gonna try it this winter and see what happens.

i have another question. so far my plants are doing well and show no signs of over fertilization. would it be okay to pump up the fertilizer a little more? tomorrow or saturday morning i was gonna do a water drench, and then after i wanted to do some tea, then chicken manure and worm castings watered in with the hydrolized fish. ive been told that the plants will tell you if its too much. i dont want to overdose them but can i kick them up a bit?

A little help with tea?
