Instant microbe tea?

Has anyone had any success with or tried instant microbe teas? I believe skunk labs in the states and ecothrive in the Europe make them, I recently bought the ecothrive biosys and hoped someone had already tried and tested it?

I think that ecocharge stuff is brand new, ie, only just been released, so I doubt you'll find many with experience using it.

It's too expensive even if it does work though, the 50g pouch would cost over £12 delivered, that would do one tea that wouldn't even feed ALL of my plants once(50 liters).

An AACT costs me around 50p worth of molasses and provides a much more diverse microbial community, if you can't run a worm farm buy castings and brew them up.

If you want something instant to make a tea with, go with EM1, it's tried and tested and not targeted towards ganja growers, so not insanely overpriced, It's price varies widely dependent on where you are, but 1L makes 1000L of inoculant.

Even better, just get their frass(Charge), it's much cheaper, has shit loads of beneficial microbes, plus nice NPK levels, calcium, magnesium, many other micro's................AND CHITIN!!! all round a much better product

I was given a sample of malibu compost's tea bags a month or two ago. Brewed it per the directions on the bag and it was pretty much lifeless under my microscope.

For microbe tea the best bet is just use fresh local compost or worm castings, preferably home-made. This way you avoid any microbe die-off that might occur with pre-packaged teas while waiting to be packaged and sold.

Thanks for the advice guys I stumbled upon the biosys after getting the charge which is killer stuff and wanted a heads up on it, I just started a worm bin a couple of weeks ago so I don't think I'll have enough castings yet and just hit week 3 of Flower

Nah, they're British products, the bio stuff is new, but the charge is available in most grow shops and online

Really damn I'll have open my net a bit more thanks for the heads up

if you're in the states you can't go wrong with recharge by just 4 growers, we pay an absolute bomb to get it shipped to UK

aslong as you're using chlorine or chloride free water, ro is best
