And you were just talking about how mind warping hydro is... haha. Teas/organic blow my mind, with that arsenal I might as well throw in the towel now on the PCC.........Lots to read. for me it was trial and error before ever reading anything . My first tea was using budswel from the gauno company. Then after that I started using the earth juice rainbow mix. Then I started reading and watching everything from Dr. Elaine Ingram. Then I learned topdressing worked better nute wise and I didn't want to do guano teas anymore but just do compost teas. I picked up some ancient forest. Later started using ecoscraps (cheaper) later learned ancient forest is just peat moss and a rip off.. I played with different types of molasses. Eventually I settled using brer rabbit brand. Then I read microbe mans stuff. I didn't entirely agree with everything he says. He is more of a sales man. But has a few good points. Then later foud the book teaming with microbes. Its a must have. I have read it a few times You can download it as torrent for free off kickass.to. After getting involved recycled living organics after reading Cann's thread before the rols thread was made by Headtreep. There I learned about seed sprout teas and recipes by Cootz. He was on ic rag but then they all started the seeddepot forums. Which that forum hasn't seem to work lately. They are in the organic section there. Making your own castings and compost ie vermicompost . which will give you better results in teas and topdressing than any store bought.
then with sst (seed sprout teas). headtreep posted he uses mung beans. so I tried it and it worked. I found that mung beans have a lot of potassium / sugars and iron and calcium. plus small amounts of nitrogen, phos, magnesium, magnanese, zinc, copper, sulfur. the nutrient recipe I use is actually Cootz's recipe
1 cu ft peat moss
1 cu ft vermicompost
1/2 cu ft pumice
1/2 cup crabmeal
1/2 cup neem meal
1/2 cup kelp meal
4 cups of rock dust (glacial or basalt) if using soft rock phosphate 1 cup
I learned of the various uses of aloe there too.
