Using tea in conjunction with General Organics

So I've been doing a little experiment for my first time doing all organic. I'm using full GO lineup and then a veg tea pulled from the tea thread here I think it's PSG/Veg bat guano/EWC/Kelp. I go feed/water/tea but for the last week I've been doing just feed and tea and cut out plain water completely. Also I have not used any ph down or up and don't even bother checking my ph. The plants look amazing full green color. If you wanna follow my journal there is a link in my sig.

What I am wondering is if anyone else has done something like this with using bottled nutes and teas in conjunction. Also trying to gain some followers on my journal which is about to be flipped to flower in 5 days.

Just use the teas and some great soil mix. Im telling you that will be all you need. :leaf:
For the soil mix I forgot to add its just regular roots organic soil. Check out the journal I've also got these things that connect the plant to the ground through electricity. From what I've read the earth has an electric frequency and when you take plants and put them in pots you take that away. So with this little wire thing it gives that frequency back to the soil.

I'm using that same method. General organics with teas every couple waterings. Working great for me :) it's my first grow but I'd like to toss the bottled nutes completely in the future.

Why toss the GO? its all veganic except the biomarine which is dope. Im really hoping to see what the potency and terpenes of these plants come out like. I am going to get them lab tested I think. I have 2 of the same strains flowering out in hydro right now as well.

He's probably just seeing it's cheaper and better to do without bottled nutes. You can make your own and your plants will be a lot better in the end and for1/4 of the price.

True I guess, just a lot more work I feel. I think I wanna try a run with supersoil outdoors in a greenhouse sometime soon and just use teas with that and see how it goes.

You would be one happy mofo if you did sir. There is no comparison and the results are astounding. It's almost foolproof and when you make your own stuff you will know what to do when you see a deficiency arise. Keep her lush.

Im deff gonna give it a whirl. I feel like I could say the same about hydro though too. I don't usually see deficiencies in my hydro setup because I provide the plant with everything it needs. Only problem with hydro I would say is dealing with root issues when they arise. Environmental control is extremely important in hydro setups as well.

Smells pretty organic to me :)

What makes you think they are lying?
they have heavy metals and other stuff not listed on the bottles. Check with department of agriculture state or fed. Nutrient companies have to list and disclose all ingredients with the state when registering products for sale.. They use the term organic very loosely. The definition of organic is having a carbon molecule. Ao they are not natural organic.

Some micronutrients (minerals) are not found naturally in organic form, instead they are found in nature as nonorganic soil components. What's the difference between a mineral in soil outside or a mineral mined and bottled?

Minerals are organic even if mined. It took natural sources to make them. Don't make things complicated. Made from nature= organic.man made= fake. Don't fall into the bottled junk crap. I learned a lot from hyroot.greendyl, check out brownguy420, he still uses bottled junk like farmerjohn420, subcool420, spliffnmylady but they have a eye for the plant just not fully organic .The key is was it once living, every living thing has a carbon based molecule after it dies. Tons of useful info on here to save money and do it yourself. I can't thank these organic gurus enough for all their knowledge.

I mean money isn't really an issue for me the whole point of the experiment I am doing is to see if the potency comes out higher then the same strains in a hydro unit.

Stop crying about GO being non-organic because it has TRACE ammounts of metals like most everything you buy. GO is amazing and for,me,at least its super cheap. I get the whole lineup in litre bottles for less than $100 shipped. Lasts me more that 4 grows.

enjoy those toxic metals and in the future when you get turned down for any medical treatment for the build up of too much cadmium or arsenic in your body. They won't be able to treat the cancer caused by..

Olears, my homemade organics blows general organics away in quality and price. I can make them bottles for about $2, lmao!!!!!!!! Hyroot, some ppl just are fine with buying stuff that isn't needed. I try to get the word out because I once was on bottled nutes, due to lack of understanding and experience. I listened to you and others and I'm happy because I benefit. Read the ingredients on your bottle and do a price check guys. Very surprising. I love my dry amendments, I make fresh teas that blow away the percentage of microbes that general organics can aquire. Diy!

$100 can buy you about 50lbs of top notch amendments that will last you 10 yrs lol. Then you can use some of it in your soil, but you probably throw that out don't you olears? Another big no no! Seriously though there is some amazing stuff documented on here to better your grow that should cost you money to get to know but these gardeners share their success and knowledge, use it. Some are old timers with new tricks for a reason .
