What u are doing is waking up the micro heard in the budswell and other organic products u choose. So lets say 1 gal jug and 2 tbl bud swell and 2 tsp molasses. Add air (bubbles) for 12-24 hours then there you go, Tea.

I'm a vegan grower, but I have contemplated adding this to my grow. Kind of a yin and a yang philosophy. The plant based being the yin and then coming in with a bit of yang in the budswell. Kind of more a philosophical thing I guess, but it made sense to me when explained to me by a veteran grower of some straight chron, lol.

Could you use this in conjunction with your normal fert? How much would your recommend using? In conjunction with say a nutrient dose of BioCanna? Normally during late flowering I am running 15ml/gal plus some supplements. Or should I just do a separate tea?

Be advised if you adamant about going "organic" or veganic, this stuff contains Super Thrive and guano. I'd use it to supplement a light dose of fertilizer or add to compost tea at the last minute before drenching. Good stuff though.

Hey all i to just picked up some Budswel and i was wondering since it contains a pretty good amount of P how i would go about feeding with it...Im am runnig the General Organics line with some flora nectar...My feeding schedule is Feed,water,water,water.Feed..should i replace the second watering with the tea? And based on Golden Ganja's recipe of " 1 gal jug and 2 tbl bud swell and 2 tsp molasses" how much of that do you use Per plant or do you dilute it?

I did end up adding this to my bloom regimen. I use it at weeks 3 and 5 12.5-15ml dosage. At week 3 I hit it with 12.5ml of Budswel yellow and then week 4 is an inoculation with half strength nutes. Then hit it again at week 5. I use BioCanna as my base nutrient and supplement with some other organic liquid nutes. But week 3 and 5 I hit it with Budswel.

The only problem I had was that when I did budswel/inoc/budswel from week 3-5, I ended up having some funky nitrogen and potassium deficiencies. I ended up changing it to Week 3: budswel, week 4: 5ml BioCanna Flores, 2ml Humboldt Honey, Mycorhizzae inoculation, Week 5: 15ml Roots Organic HPK. Which is 0-5-4, so I keep the high phos, but add more potassium in at the finish. The low dosage of Flores gives it a little nitrogen, which it does still need a little to finish. Week 6 is 10-12.5ml Flores, 10-15ml BioBoost (Flores for a touch of nitrogen, Boost for some sugars and a... well boost.) Week 6.5-7: 2tsp Humboldt Honey, Myco inoc (too chew up remaining nutrients.) Week 8: Flush with filtered water. I basically do a 2 week flush, but everything is coming out real pure.

Sorry I guess to answer your question, I would probably supplement it in during week 3 and 5 like I do. If they are longer strains, go at weeks 4 and 6. Be sure to use your main line in between to keep your other levels up, it will still need N and K to finish the grow. Be sure to add mycorhizzae inoculations in there also.

I haven't used anything that has made such a difference to my bud density, bud size, resin production, and smell as budswel has. If the HPK doesn't work out the way I want it to with some early fade issues, I will just go back to using Budswel.
