Rep for super sexy flowers, my brother!
Thank you so much. Stop by now and then and lets see what we can all do sharing with each other. I appreciate it. The Gage gear should take things up to a whole new level. I can't wait for the Kali Mist and Pineapple Express to start to show their secrets soon too. Much to see in the coming weeks.

I remember the advice you gave me a month or so ago st0wandgrow when I was having the ph/dolomite issue. I would appreciate it if you would stick around and make sure the ship is sailing straight. Thanks for taking a peek.

is it possible to use these teas in a hydro set up???
As a foliar spray, sure. I'd be careful dumping it in to your reservoir though. I can't imagine there would be a sufficient amount of oxygen in there to keep the beneficial microorganisms alive.... and the sediment (worm poop) would probably clog up your bubblers and water pump.

yes and no. Ive heard its a little too thick for air stones. however my beneficial tea. all the products have hydro recommendations for dosing. and then with oxygen theres shit you can do with certain products ive seen. and hydrogen peroxide. lol sorry as it probably shows doing it in a DWC with these thick teas was enough trouble for me to figure out that I just stay synthetic for hydro, teas for soil and organic grows

That looks dank as hell. What strain is that? I love the sugar. :clap:
thanks man! i honestly really dont know. I was told blue cheese. then after that friend saw it progressing he decided it wasnt and he mustve mixed it up with sour d ... hmmmmm labels? anyways its got a lot of sativa. thats all i can say from this, smells good , sticky as fuck. just cant call it anything specific and will be wondering which high I am experiencing the first few times I blaze to get a feel of the genetics. I prefer to not be told i have one cut and then get another. especially because often full sativas get me a little too jittery . indica dominant hybrid is my cup o' tea.

Hello everyone. Welcome to my test run of Starlet Kush and Super Blue Dream x Freedom Baby. I received the seeds on July 20th and within 15 mins of walking into my door with the package I placed all the seeds into my lucky cups for germination. I was given 12 seeds of the SBD x FB and 11 seeds of the Starlet Kush. All the seeds looked mature and were unscathed from their trip to the coast of Maine. Super Blue Dream is DJ Shorts cut of Blueberry x Super Silver Haze. Freedom Baby is Harlequin x Joseph OG.

I germinate my seeds in distilled water. After 12 hours of being placed in the water I sink them with a shake of the cup and I leave them for 24-36 hours. All of the seeds from both strains sank. From there I used the paper towel method. Again I used distilled water and placed the seeds into the towels for another 24-36 hours. I am happy to say that every seed but 1 of each strain popped their tails and the remaining two I am sure will be right along. I am using Fox Farm Light Warrior for the first home for my crew. I misted the FFLW with a mixture of 5 ml of Hygrozyme, 1 tsp of Mycos, and a tsp of Azos per gallon. The seeds went into the FFLW without a hitch. I am going to put them under 2 Tek 2 T5 lights in the blue spectrum when they begin sprouting tomorrow.

As a side note I am also in the early vegetative cycle with Gage Green Sun Maiden and Gage Green Daybreaker. I also am germinating Gage Green LA Haze with the Starlet Kush and SBD x FB.

I am really excited to explore the CBD profile of the SBD x FB. The medicinal qualities of the Starlet Kush for lower body pain and insomnia intrigue me. I have a family member who suffers from such conditions and I am very excited to have them test the medicine when it is time. I will be posting up pictures tomorrow and as things unfold. I welcome all input.

I really want to show the canna medical community what an average guy can do with great genes. Thank you for stopping by and lets see what these amazing genes can do. Take care.

Here are some great Rev teas.

1. Use this tea from the very beginning of flowering up to 4-5 weeks.

1 tbsp of organic molasses
20 drops of General Organics CalMag+
1 tbsp of all organic all purpose fertilizer 5-5-5 or close to that as possible
1 tbsp of Kelp Meal
1 tsp of High N bat guano 12-8-2 ish
1 tsp of High P bat guano 0-5-0 or 1-10-0
1 tsp of liquid fish fertilizer 5-1-1 or 3-3-.3 or close
1/4 cup of FF Big Bloom

Bubble 24 hours then add 1/2-1 cup of fresh compost of EWC. Bubble for another 24 hours. This is for a one gallon jug. Pure water. You can bubble this as long as you want. I would not go over a week. This is taken from the Revs TLO book. Dilute 1:4 or 1:3.

2. Here is a finishing tea:

1 cup EWC or fresh compost
1/4 cup FF Big Bloom
1 tsp of kelp meal
1 tsp of organic molasses

Bubble for 24-48 hours. The Rev suggest diluting the teas. I dilute mine anywhere from 1 part tea to 4 parts pure water. If they are big enough and can handle max nutes then I go 1:3.

3. Here is a great high power vegetative growth tea:

1 tbsp of organic molasses
1 tbsp of kelp meal
1 tbsp of alfalfa meal
1 tbsp of dry all purpose organic fertilizer
2 tsp of liquid fish fertilizer
2 tsp of high N bat guano
1 tsp of dry soluable kelp or seaweed

Bubble for 24 hours. Add 1 cup of EWC or fresh compost. 1/4 cup of steer/cow manure or compost. Bubble for another 24 hours. Dilute 1:4.

4. Seedling freshly or freshly rooted clone tea:

2 tsp of organic molasses
1 tps of kelp meal
1 tps of liquid fish fertilizer
1 tsp of alfalfa meal
1/2 -1 cup of EWC or compost
1 tsn of dry soluble kelp or liquid seaweed
10 drops of General Organics CaMag+

Bubble for 24 hours. Dilute 1:4

There you have it. All your tea needs. Ask any questions you would like. Enjoy. BTW....spread the mix out as a top dressing on your plants. Use a 1 gallon paint strainer as a holder.

I've been playing around with molasses in my soil mixes. The stuff adds some fire for sure. These were grown in a soil mix enriched with molasses, horse shit, and one big feed with fish emulsion right at the beginning. Went a teeny bit yellow but hey they were only in 15 litre bags...

I'd love to try these teas but bat guano is really really hard to find over where I am at. Any replacements I can use?

Thanks for sharing that :)
