i have it mixed in with fox farm happy frog soil, about 1 cup per gallon, and 30% perlite and tbs of lime. I transplanted vegging females 3-4 weeks old into 4 gallon pots with this mix in about a week ago. I have had nitro deficiency (new growth stunted and yellow), so when I heard the organicare can take a while to start working in the soil I thought the tea would be a good idea to get the nitro to the roots quicker. I put a bit more than 1 tbs in a gallon of ph'd water and I got the air stone in there. Thanks for the info, and about diversifying the nutrients, I am giving them foxfarm big bloom every third watering as well, I was planning on using the organicare pure bloom for flowering, but am open to suggestions. I'm a bit of a budget grower so that is limiting but I'm working around it.
