AAMRTS A must see tea recipe!

I was given this recipe from my local nor cal hydro shop, and it works GREAT every season. This recipe is a one stop shop! I use this outdoor in roots organic 707 straight out of the bag.

5 GAL. PURE WATER*

Filter bag
(optional).
Water pump (optional).
Water heater (optional).

Add 4 gallons water to your 5 gal. bucket that has 2-4 air stones set in the bottom of the bucket. Add in all ingredients except for mycorrhizal fungi to the water. Brew for 24-36 hours. Now add your 5th gallon of water to the solution with your mycorrhizae. Solution can be stored in refrigerator up to 7 days. You can dilute @ 1 cup per gallon or use undiluted.

1 Pound worm castings**

1 Tbs. Ful-power

1 tsp. Ful-humix

1 Tbs. Fish Hydrolysate
12-1-1

2 Tbs. Molasses

1 Tbs. Soluble Seaweed
(kelp extract)
1-0-18

2 Tbs. Earth Juice Catalyst

2 Tbs. Solution Guano
0-8-1

2 Tbs. Mycorrhizae***

Tea should smell earthy, and fresh like good compost or healthy soil. If it smells bad like spoiled milk or rancid, the tea has gone bad(anaerobic) and should be thrown out.

* Make sure your water is free of chlorine, or the microbal life you are trying to breed will be killed!

** You can use worm castings or vermiblend (Castings, compost, kelp, and humus).

*** Add Mycorrhizae at the end of the brewing cycle; the long term aeration will destroy the Mycorrihizal Hyphae.

Use this tea every other feeding. Find a base nutrient to feed with in between tea feedings. The idea is to build up your soil, then break it down, every feeding. Tea, base nutrient, tea, base nutrient, ect. Switch to a bloom base nutrient when you start to see buds, or slightly before they flower.

In the last couple tea feedings, leave out the guano and the fish hydrolysate, to improve taste and smell.

ENJOY!

Does this recipe bother any of those anti- bottle guys out there?

I was wondering the same thing.

I should clarify; this is my first attempt at organic growing. A well known grower, who also works at the hydro shop I got this recipe from, is the source of this recipe. His coworker gave it to me. He said they all use it, and he said it works wonders. He also told me most of them use the advanced nutrience line as their base nutrient.
Any thoughts on this recipe?

doesn't bother me at all, nobody's grow styles bother me, it's just a matter of improvement being on a forum and being asked for my advice and I will happily tell you what i'd change.
First, you are sorta doing a combination of two things, a nutrient tea, and a microbial tea (aact).
Now, I want to add I don't have a fancy microscope, so all I am repeating is based on others factual experimentation.
A nutrient tea is superb, i'd do a lil differently. the hydrosylate is great, i'd replace the kelp, with kelp meal, you get much more out of it, also a 1-0-18 isn't really a good idea, in my mind, potassium is easily overdosed on, and you don't need that much.
I would do your FH, kelp meal, guano, and BSM molasses. ONLY.
That will give you a great even NPK. With sort of an emphasis on nitrogen.
the microbial tea you can add the worm casting, and molasses only.
Nothing wrong with that tea though, although putting the michorrizhae in with the microbes is sorta a suicide thing for them, they'll be outnumbered llike a billion to one, and consumed..
Plus you want to put the myco on the roots, when transplanted, in order for them to work

thanks for the reply grease monkey.

I appriciate the honesty on you not having personal proof on your opinion of this tea when it comes to microscopes..

I've read this organic forum for hours, and I know some have said the same as you, and some disagree. I still know little about organics, but I'm going to stick to this recipe this year and see how it goes.

I did add mycorrhizae when I transplanted, and watered with de chlorinated tap water only for the first few feedings.

So far the results are far beyond the growth rate and health of my last few out grows. But I have only used tea twice and base nutrience once, so I'm not fully convinced. But I can say my girls look like they couldn't possibly look any better or grow as fast as they are, so I'm hopeful!

Per 5 gallons I like 1/2 cup BSM, 2 cups EWC with a 1/8 cup of kelp. Earthy yummy tea, lush green girls. I've played with oats and fungal in flower and had great success. - Have experimented lots with myco. Go for a dusting on the roots with a brush during transplant. Works crazy good. Have a good day everyone.
