What up growbros! What do you guys think about a simple tea to help boost the P and K or my girls during weeks 3,4,5 of flower?

Was thinking about per gallon to add

1 Tbsp of DTE Langbeanite (0-0-21.5)
1 Tbsp DTE seabird guano (0-11-0)
1/2 Tbsp DTE Azomite (for trace minerals and such)
1 Tbsp DTE Flower (4-8-4)
1 tsp Recharge
1 tsp seaweed extract
Thanks y’all!

I’m in FFOF and transplanted from a 1 gal to a 5 gal last week and top dressed with 4-8-4 the day before flipping to flower.

That pretty much covers all the dry ingredients on your list, and some nice extras... its a really amazing product, works awesome, plants love it and they love the benificial microbes.

These are also nice products that offer a good boost in flower... Not teas but specifically designed as supplimental boosters for flower, the trinity has the sugars and carbs, and the hpk has everything else lol...

Looks like a good mixture to me.

If you just went into bigger pots of fresh soil and you top dressed with a bloom mix you shouldn't need anything else during weeks 3,4,5. There should be plenty in the pots for your plants.

Maybe something with compost (tea or top dress) to keep your microbes kicking but I think you're got nutrients covered.

Thank you! I was figuring the same. Do you think the red frog bloom compost tea would over do it on the nutes? Or just aid in keeping the bennies alive?

I've never used that stuff, so this is just an uneducated opinion.

If it's specifically for compost tea it's probably heavy on compost and lighter on nutrients. It will probably be OK, but you may not need it for a few weeks yet, the 4-8-4 you top dressed with may have beneficals added too.

Hey folks, I’m experimenting with teas as well and I was curious if anyone has any experience with brewing their own.
(looking for advice on ratios).
I brew 15gal at a time. I have bat guano(0-7-0), seabird guano(0-11-0), kelp meal( 1-0.1-2), alfalfa(2-0-2) and molasses.

The red frog is mostly for the benificials, it has very little nutrient in it at all, i brew the tea and add it to my hpk and trinity solution i mix up for my ladies, it works amazing and absolutely no burn, you should be fine... weeks 4,5,6 i brew the hpk and the trinity right in the tea and water with this solution until flush starts. This way they are getting the beni bacteria and the nutrients are being tapered off for the finish, it also helps to expand the nutrients because i avoid making food solution the last 3 weeks of feedings and instead just brew tea with added nutrient. The red frog is a really great product you wont be unhappy with the results of using their teas

What would you say for an autoflower with those teas?

I would reccomend mixing your nutrients into your water for every feeding till the flush along with adding from a 1/4cup - 1cup of tea per gallon of nutrient solution mixed instead of adding the nutrient to the tea, if i were growing auto's i would amend the pot prior to planting as well to create a good nutritient rich medium for them to be drawing from the whole grow as you have limited time to feed autos durring their predetermined life cycle.

My soils already amended with some Down to earth amendments (blood meal, fish bone meal, oyster shells, lime, Lang, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, humic acid,sea bird guano) so i should be good. Can’t wait to try the tea
