Gandalf is probably the one to ask about those teas. Personally I cut teas out around week 4-5 of flower. As for the flax seed, is this a meal? If so, you can add it right to your soil mix prior to letting it sit for x weeks while the soil is "cooking".[/QUOTe
Was hoping gand would answer...i dont think flax needs to cook...could be wrong.

What are using the flax seed for? Is it flax seed meal? If so, it's an organic amendment no different than alfalfa meal, kelp meal, etc ...... and yes it does need to "cook". It's not bio available until the microbes have had time to break it down.

Im growing TLO. Im already potted. I have 10 that are a week in 12-12.... also have 8 that are from 5.5-7 weeks into 12-12.... the rev doesnt say window an how oftn to use. I seen gandolfs tea recipee an i think they are identical....as for the flax it says global, top dress an tea usage. Wondering when for that and fossil fuel.... my 2.1 tlo mix was cut with ewc, vermicompost, fossil fuel, and geurilla grow mix before i made my pots.

I've just been trying to get them completely healthy before flipping over. Between the bugs and the deficiency I got hit with while I was out sick its been a struggle to get them to bounce back... Trying to get all the purple back to green and the leaves darker so I can not make the same mistake I did last time. Still have to take some cuttings, and lollipop...

Man u need to reread my first post. Ur not helping

I think it's you that needs to go back and read your first post. No where in there did you indicate that you were 5-7 weeks in to flower. Kinda relevant info don't ya think? You asked point blank ...."also wondering how to use flax seed" and I tried twice to clarify if you meant flax seed(s) or flax seed meal. You didn't answer either time.

I'll be sure to bring my crystal ball with me next time

Any pointers on window of when and how often to use "flowering" teas and "finishing " teas? .....i also have fossil fuel left over from mix. When would be best to use fossil fuel in teas?...also wondering how to best use flax seed.

Lol. Are u special? How far mine are irrelevant. I want to know windows for each tea....then obviously its flax meal and wanted to know its best use. Also the fossil fuel.. idk why ur fixated on whether its ground up or not. Either way you still prolly coudnt tell me how to utilize it besides uh u can put it in globaly. I had 4-5 Q's and in return u ask me about the last words in my paragraph

Hey gang I made it to the local organic's store and they are really right up our alley. The man showed me his smaller tea brewers each 25 gallon. He also has 250 gallon brewers! They are seriously addicted to organics and have helped local farmers to triple their crops with their teas! I thought I was going to have a brain aneurysm or something. Microbs this and fungus that. He probably threw $10,000 worth of seminar info at me in an hours time. Yeah most of it I couldn't retain but I swear it was like reading this and the living soil threads. I got some things for building a soil, baby steps until the wife drops the leash. They have six blueberry bushes out front showing what teas can do. No teas bush-pretty much just a couple sticks the healthiest gets one tea a year and is beautiful. It was exciting, Wish you could have a store like that Hamish. You can bring your soil or teas in and they will analyze them for free to make sure they're doing a good job providing growers with what the plants need. Just glad they didn't ask me what I grow, I got a funny feeling they've got me pegged anyhow.

Am I special? My kids think I am.

I clarified that Gandalf would be the one to ask on the teas right from jump street. I was then trying to figure out what the fuck you meant by "also was wondering what's the best use of flax seed". Not flax seed meal. "Flax seed". What's the best use? In your soil? In a tea? As a top-dress? If you have a specific question, embrace the English language and ask it.

To the point: You can use many different types of seed meals for nutrient teas. Alfalfa meal, soybean meal, neem seed meal, etc. Flaxseed meal as well. The general rule is 1 cup per 5 gallons of water. Put it in a paint straining bag, then bubble for 24 hours.I'd dilute it the first time a bit to be safe and see how your plants respond.

Windows of when to do each tea.

Was this a question? Can you elaborate?

fosill fuel benefits

Same, I am afraid....

I can guess that you are asking about the benefits of fossil (?) fuels
in making teas with, as that is the topic of this thread. But I would
hazard the guess that fossil fuels are not a "beneficial".

Read up, and good luck.

Don't get your hopes up. He has a life, he is busy, and I am willing to bet will NOT repeat NOT appreciate you treating his mates the way you are. Seriously. Go away.

PS: All relevant info, answers to your questions, are ALREADY POSTED BY GANDALF on this thread. Get off your lazy ass and READ.
