Hello everyone, i am currently running indoors with roots organic soiless with cutting edge solutions as my nutes. I also use hum tea from cutting edge as well. My local hydro shop brews it for 15$ a gallon which can be used for 50 gallons but i would really like to use more of it. I really want to brew my own my own beneficial bacteria with molasses, bat guano, worm castings and anything else you good people my advise me in. There is a feed show here in town that has some great stuff but i am not sure which to choose. The have mycrorhizal (bnficial fungi), mycoapply endo, and vital earths bio pak (benefiial bacteria). here is the link to everything they have http://www.concentratesnw.com/products/Retail Master.pdf
My question is what would be the best to add to my brew tea to use once a week for flowering and should i use a different brew for veg. i will keep using my normal nutes but want to exchange a nute feed for a brew feed once a week. i have some black strap mollasss already and have been using 1tbls per gallon. just want to get some micro brew in there that i can sustain for a cheaper prices then great white or voodoo which i think just repackage basic stuff and slap on cool logos. Peace

Aren't most all Cutting Edge nutrients chemical based for hydro growers? The last time I looked their claim to fame was less salt build-up than their competition, has that changed? Putting an AACT tea into growing media that contains chemicals makes little sense.

well I do it myself---banjo music in--- I make my own compost tea you see
just take a good quality compost and put a couple of gallons of compost in
a pillow case---that there is your tea bag-- now I keep mine brewing all the
time as you like to use it a lot and so do I especially outside. Get non Sulfur
Molasses and use RO water or Blown off and Ph to 7 ph for Neutral to live in.
1/3 cup of Molasses to about 3 gallons of H2o with a couple gallons of compost.
Use a air pump to keep it alive and not rancid---if it gets rancid no problem feed it molasses and aerate the good will eat the bad bacteria and will be good to use. You can tell by the sweet earthy smell--mm that and Purple Kush oil together..
anyways all that in a 5 gallon bucket covered in the sun to keep it about 75-85 degrees (like a pond) the bubbler keeps it fresh and I just feed it molasses and RO H20 thru the week.

I also brew my own teas, but prefer generating a larger range of microbes as I grow outside without chemical or organic nutrient supplements and feed the soil. I use:

1 cup of earthworm castings
1/4 cup kelp meal
1/4 cup fish hydrolysate
1/2 teaspoon pure humic acid
1 tablespoon soft rock phosophate
2 tablespoons organic alfalfa meal
1 teaspoon molasses


I brew for 24 hours at 70° (an aquarium heater is utilized as Oregon's weather is still too cold for sunlight heating), cut the tea by 50% with water and use within four hours.
