Tomorrow is going to be my first day feeding with compost tea. Its been brewing overnight with rainwater, 1 nori sheet, tablespoon of alfalfa, teaspoon of mollasses, handful of garden soil, and a handful of compost. Today I will strain it, and bubble until early tomorrow mourning where I will dillute the tea and feed to my girl. Ill post pictures soon.
 
But u really want all three. Since you have only bubbled for a day and you added fungal food, I would let bubble for 48 hours to get bacteria. 24 hours for just fungi or 72 hours for protazoa,fungi and bacteria. Just want to help. Put in fresh clean grass cliping to that and bubble for 48 hours next time and youll have protazoa,bacterium,fungi and a little bit of veg food. Peace,SS

...awesome info man. +rep
 
Yah thanks for the great info! I strained the tea, added fresh grass clippings, and am now going to let it bubble for another 48 hours. And can you tell me exactly what the fungal food was?
 
Mollassas, Alfalfa meal and compost are all fungal food. Endo and Ecto Fungi thrive off of Alfalfa meal. They like to shit it out at the rhizosphere. The plant then eats the mobile food from the fungi. Fungi like carbonized food. Mostly blackend Humus. Bacteria like fresher green material. Fungi like to kick it at the top of the soil and bacteria like it deep in the rhizo. I would add your tea once a week. Cannabis does like fungi. Shit thats what everyones putting in...... Great White. Sub Culture. The best innoculant is one with bacteria and fungi but you have to feed them proper or why even try. Why are you trying to add Bacteria? What have you heard it will do for your crop. Same with Fungi, why are you adding it?
 
I was looking at my tea and it had a nice foam on top. I decided it was a good idea to add some alaskan fish emusion i had so i put a 1/2 teaspoon in. After i added the fish emulision the foam went away. Is that bad? Did i mess up my tea?
 
Next time try startingh the fungi population first by combining your listed ingredients minus the molasses and let it steep in a dark place. In two/four days after or until you start seeing fungi grwth floating around I would usually start on the bacteria population by adding the carbohydrates/molasses and aerate it for another day or two then it should be ready to use. Once a month is all you need with this mighty tea.

Hey sag, what's some good organic nuts you recommend? Brand wise...? and is earth juice any good? I heard it's the most basic of the basic nutes you can use for soil based plants. I'm no MJ Sensi master yet, But I know how to grow some dank buds without nutes, I'm just wondering since you've been on here longer you would have some knowledge.

I can answer that. House and Garden Bio-1 Component Soil. One part. My girls love it. Its all organic. Add Bud XL to that aswell. Bud Candy by Advanced and some Great White Innoculant. Agricultural Mollassas. Liquid Humic Acid. Algen Extract from House and Garden or Age Old Sea weed. Age Old program is good however I have read somewhere its not all organic. I think because of the Urea Nitrogen. Thats your best bet for a good first couple harvests. Peace,SS
