Please read through a good part of the 1st post by Heisenberg. He states about 1 cup per gallon to start. It is a good read though. He explains why the tea works!

Yes, of course I make clones. I honestly, just use the kiss theory. Shoe box sized plastic container. 8 1" neoprene inserts(or whatever size they are). Small 10w aquarium heater(could use next size up), bubbles, and some rooting hormone. Get roots in anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on strain and where the clipping comes from as well.

OK - Res change - check
Flush - check
Clean res with pH-ed water - check
Would have done more but the light cycle was over. I had to get water and ingredients for the tea. Nobody had any of it so I had to substitute every ingredient.
Earth Worm Castings (EWC) from OHS
Earth Juice Bio Zeus
Contains the following Non-Plant Food active ingredients;
CFUs per gram:
Azotobacter chroococcum-500,000; Azotobacter
vinelandii-500,000;
Azospirillum lipoferum-5,000,000; Bacillus
coagulans-500,000; Bacillus megaterium-500,000;
Bacillus
subtilis-500,000; Pseudomonas fluorescens-5,000,000; Rhizobium
japonicum-5,000,000
Propagules per gram: Trichoderma
harzianum-500,000; Trichoderma viride-500,000: 99.9% Inert
Ingredients
Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP
I also grabbed some compost starter at OHS because it had the same stuff.
I also picked up a new airstone just for making teas.

I think the mycos/mykos, however you spell it could replace the other shit beside the EWC if I remember correctly from what I read way back when?
I will look for some pictures of my DIY clone box. I have some UL'd to the site, but my attachment function no longer works on this site. I will have to start UL'ing to a 3rd party site and linking shit here.......
As if I didn't have enough shit to do..... O_O
The key thing is, when you brew it, make sure you get bubbles!!! Use a small container so that you oxygenate the hell out of the solution! That is a sure sign your tea is active! (should almost look like dish soap shine on top of the bubbles!)
oh.. a top picture to drool on..... 12/12 as of Friday!(06-15)

OK - I was busy this weekend. First I started by protecting my Sunflower from predatory squirrels by covering the flower with a bird net:
This was not easy because the bird net is very hard to position without it getting stuck to anything it touches.
Next I had to perform a res change and a flush because my beautiful new roots were looking bad. The flush did the trick (I still have not started the tea yet).
Res change:
Before flush June 9th:
After flush:

Got the res changed and so I went shopping for Slanty's tea suggestion ingredients. Took almost all day but I found what I needed and some other cool stuff like two new Burpee tomato plants. A traditional Beefsteak and a new hybrid called Solar Power! I had enough organic soil left to put the small Solar plant in a container. The beefsteak is 3 feet tall and needed to go in the ground. So Sunday I needed to go shopping for soil (except the good stuff is at the farm store and they are closed on Sunday).
Added some 0-10-10 bloom nutes (240 ppm) to the res and checked the pH. It was at 6.5 but I did not have time to get it dialed-in so I gave the res some pH down and I left it for Sunday as well.
Made some 6.5 pH water for the outdoor garden and gave it to all the good little martians. It seems to be fixing the deficiency problem with the big clone. The outdoor water pH was at 8 so I think it was causing a lockout on the magnesium. Now I know exactly how much pH down to squirt in the 5 gal buckets to get 6.5. It makes it quick and easy.
June gloom seems to be fading away and we are starting to get some nice sunny hot days!

Started Father's day with bacon, eggs, toast, Blue Mountain coffee, and blueberry muffins! Buuuurrrrp. ^^
Next it was the quest for soil. OHS - nope, Farm Supply - closed, Armstrong nursery - nope, Home Depot - yep - Kellogs organic veggie soil! Of course the pile in the front looked like it was kept in a spider and dirt zoo. Had to climb over the spider zoo and grab the clean bags from the back. Happy father's day from Home Depot!
Got home and finished the hole I had prepared on Saturday. Mixed the new soil with my river clay and some pumice to get that magic combination that plants seem to love. Planted the beefsteak and gave her some nice pH-ed water and nutes.
After that I worked on getting my garage organized. I have fallen in love with clear totes and now I want to put everything in them! Did too much and got cranky
Settled in for the night with a nice Togo's Pastrami Reuben mmmmmmmmmmm!
Opened some presents - got some movies (Picture Mommy Dead and Sgt. Pepper's with Peter Frampton) and an As Seen on TV brownie pan with two mixes! Score!!!

Oh - BTW - I worked on the pH in the res on Sunday. It was up to 6.8. I got it to 6.5 and stopped for the day. Read a post on urban grower that said Sativas like 5.1-5.8 pH in the res. I really think this Malawi follows much different rules than the modern hybrids. I need to keep dialing in what this girl likes.

OK - The indoor girl is still hanging in there. I am not sure how much she will bulk up especially when her roots keep going bad. I will just keep loving her and trying to "read" her until I go crazy.
I kept giving her acid today trying to get the pH down to 5.4. Was only able to get her to 6.1 before time ran out. I will give her more tomorrow. I also gave her some GH Flora Nectar FruitInfusion - ppm 280. All of those flowers in the cab and no smell?
Does anybody know a good reference for growing Malawi Sativa? I am trying to find all of the tips I can about this girl's needs.
Watered all of the outdoor plants today because it was hot!!!! Used pH-ed water and hose.

Hey Lady J - I just wanted to make the water 6.5-6.8 for soil and so I checked it before I added anything to see where I was starting. I was very surprised to see 8.0!
You should have seen Cloneville this morning. Those fan leaves are almost twice as big now. They were all standing up nice and healthy!
The Micro and Flower clones look so different than the big clone does. The big clone has never gotten those giant fan leaves.
Cheers,
Mo

Hey Mo,
I think it's awesome that you're hanging in there with the Malawi. I know it hasn't been easy for sure, but she is going to do alright because mama loves her! I wonder if she maybe just doesn't take well to hydro? Anyway, I know when you finally smoke her, she's going to be incredible! They say malawi is the most psychoactive sativa

Brewing tea!
Tied the big clone down some more and did some stem cracking and twisting on some of the side branches to see what happens. Watered outside with ph-ed water and gave the big clone some calmag and silicone (protekt). Everything looks good. The big clone keeps getting greener!
