Making Tea - is EZ.... & Cheap !

I ask this only because I don't want ohsogreen to take back his rep

Is that stuff organic?

I actually have a bottle of this stuff lying around that I have not used because I am nervous about nixing my all organic grow after 8 weeks

Drumsinttown.... Techna Flora Magical is so close to right, it can't be wrong. It's main ingredients are all, very organic and could not be the by-product of some chemically rendered sludge.
.
I would give it a thumbs up and apply it low, slow & steady.....
.
Anyway...once an OG always an OG....... (Organic Grower) - people, we aren't gansters..... LOL ....

Keep it Real...Organic......

I want to see a complete ingredient list, all they say is that it's highly enriched and provides these nutrients. They also have a few misspellings on the site. (Maybe my diminishing eyesight will save them.)

Thanks for the reassurance!

Oshoreen I would love to get your input on what I have to work with at the moment.

I have Bat Guano Super Grow, Bat Guano Super Bloom, Worm Castings, Organic Fish Emulsion, Organic Blood & Bone and unsulphured Molasses.

Should I use all of these products during both veg and flower and just change to the high P guano for flower or should I do something different?

Also do you think I will need to get anything else to help with my new crop and are all of these products ok to use?

My plants are in 100% organic soil with 5% perlite and 5% coco peat.

Thanks and + 1 rep

Gadget.... Use the Worm Castings during the first three weeks of growth. From week three until preflower use the Fish Emulsion, Grow Bat Guano, some Blood Meal (go easy it's a hot amendment - very soluble - can nute burn real easy) and Molasses. Mix them weakly, so you don't overfeed. You can add more if needed.
.
At week 7 of growth, start the Bone Meal and Bloom Bat Guano with Molasses - cut way back on the growth amendments. That way, the bloom amendments can start breaking down, for flowering. During flowering, just stick with these three. Unless, you notice yellowing of bottom leaves, too quickly. If so, use a weak Grow Bat Guano Tea.
.
Hope this helps...

Thank you.. You have been a real help. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

just made my first tea the other day

1/4 gallon of Well Water ph 7.3
1/2 cup of castings
1/8 tsp Bio Tone Starter Plus 4-4-3
1/4 tsp of Liquid Karma
1/4 tsp of Neptune's Harvest 2-3-1
and a pinch of some coffee ground fungus

bubble for 24+ hours
strain and dilute with another 1/4 gallon of well water.
I gave that to my babies, theyre on they're 4th week. The next morning they looked better than ever. Teas are the SHIZ.

what should i use in my tea?
i have unsteamed bone meal(6-9-0), foxfarm peace of mind dry pellet flowering, liquid seaweed, a little earth juice grow, and some gravity for flowering.
(later ill buy some molasses)

DON'T USE BONE MEAL! Seriously, if you do you'll wanna vomit. If you use even the smallest bit of bone meal to make a tea at first it's like, Oh! This smells like chicharrones.. mmmm...

Then the next day comes. And you think, OhmyfuckingGOD! What DIED OUT HERE???? "Smells like gack" is an understatement.

Teas are made from anything you like, really. Compost, molasses, manure, minerals, meals of all sorts. I use worm castings, molasses, and a bit of coffee grounds because my water's pH tends to be high and the coffee helps bring it down. Dr. Earth dry pre-mixed ferts are good, they smell nice. Happy Frog Japanese maple has bone meal, and my tea STILL STINKS. Can't wait to use it all up (but I'll be damned if I'm gonna throw it away).

don't toss that shit though! top dress with the bone meal.... Top dressed my unamended soil with dr. earth bone meal for my tomatoes and got some
heirlooms the size of my fist this year

Man, I LOVE tomatoes.

Wow Ohso, your great. I just started growing a few weeks back andwas thinking about doing a ebb and flow with chem nutes for my flower room.

But you and the other on this thread have completely changed my mind. I'll be potting my mothers in all organic soil in a few weeks (I had them in rockwool grow blocks and was going to pot them with potting pellets)

After this it's off to the local nursery to see if I can find some of the stuff you have been talking about.

Organis sounds so much easier and cheaper, plus you all swear by the better tasting product.

I just want to make sure I have this right, when you plant you lil girls you only water them with the tea every other week and use plain water in between feeding? But how often do you foilair them?

Thanks again!

organics not only taste better, your also not smoking toxic chemicals which kill most everything living in the soil and are probably not good for your health.

a big thing is if you can....get a fertalizer that YOU MAKE. like a bunny rabbit or worm farm. its much better than buying overpriced nutes. and its much more fun. the only fert thats worth buying is bat guano. buy the flowering one. use neem oil for bugs.

Isuckatlife..... Organics are the way to go. Read the post:
.
https://www.rollitup.org/organics/93913-making-tea-ez-cheap.html it's full of helpful info.
.
If making your own teas does not appeal to you, Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Ferts are real good, so are Earth Juice and BMO products. All will get the job done and all Organically.
.
For watering & feeding. I water one week & fertilize the next in rotation.
.
You can feed weakly - weekly, I just prefer the other.
.
In the long run, you'll see - Organic Growing can be cheaper, it's relaxing (Zen like to me) and the Buds taste Great. There are those who will argue, saying " Hydro Chem Growing yields more & is faster " - I will not argue with that. But I'm not in this for commercial interest.
.
I care about what I put into my body. My buds smoke smooth as silk and have just as much, if not more, punch - than any hydro bud on the block. Never any harsh chemical tasting buds on the Ohsogreen Plantation....
.
Drop into Subcools (sub-forum) and give his Canopy Management thread a read. It's very good and provides tons of dead on info, he learned over twenty years of growing. I think you will like it, I've been growing 30 years, and I did.
.
I'm glad you are going Organic, it's not just for Hippies. You don't have to wear tye-dye, sandals and swear off Starbucks. I'm currently wearing some Carhart duds, work boots and drinking a big ole' cup of Starbucks, with a double expresso shot right now. LOL...
.
So, welcome and if you have questions ask them. We're the fun & friendly crowd in this forum....

Hey ohsogreen, thanks for all of the OG knowledge. I plan on doing a sog with some kush in about a week, all organically of course. I'm going to use worm castings, molasses, high P bat guano, and SPT from BMO. I live with my dad (but he gives me my privacy) so i kind of want the tea process low key. I was wondering how much of each i should put into my mix, but i only plan to make about 3 gallons at a time. And will this mixture stink too much?
I'm

lol damn, prematurely sent it, -continued- ..I'm getting ahead of my self with the flowering mix cause i still need to mix up my growth tea for my mothers first, and then take clones from them and start up my flowering tea. Could you give me a good ingredient list of the growth stage materials for a tea(and the amounts, ill be making 2 gallons for my mothers), and also the amounts for my flowering mix? Apreciate it ohsogreen, and o yea..nothings more organic than brewed green tea, some prefer coffee but green tea is the shit. Thanks ohso
