So Damn true!! Its crazy how alike are methods are.....I fill (4) 3 gallon walmart water jugs with my boogie filter, so water temps stay cosistent at room temp.. This is an overlooked trick by a lot of first timers. And man the Nectar addiction is for real.....it was hard work when I was learning it, but now I enjoy the work, and can't see myself using anything else for a bottle line.

look what I got today, but i don't remember Which one of you guys told me about it I think it was Irieroot that told me to get this...no more RO lol.... But wait in May too October I was reading that They put something in the water here to stop the algae blooms in our freshwater lakes should I use the RO during that season

See if you can find out what they use for the algae.......might be KDF, same type of material in the boogie.

It takes me a little time too get it out of my head and make it understandable!! Jeff Lowenfells, author of the "Teaming with" trilogy, does it best!! He dumbs down some super complex shit, those books are like getting a soil science degree.

I keep telling myself I will one day go back to full living soil but I just have so much more fun with NECTAR!! I think my next book to pick up is the Calcum book from Albreight. Its for sale at Buildasoil now, his whole collection of books would be badass but it's like $200....ouch. But that calcium book I think will shed a lot of light on NECTAR products and get even more of an understanding of whats going on.

Nah, its just the billions of microbes doing their thing, it should balance out after a couple feeds. Just ride that drift now, feed a 6.0-6.2 !!
just check my slurries all ph is in range 6.7 to 6.9.

I've never used the BE-1 pellets blended into a mix, I'm sure it will be good. I like to see the pellets breaking down on the surface for the feedback. Lots of good uses for the pellets. When running the BE-1 with NECTAR, I lower my potassium for a couple feeds to not throw things off. Its pretty simple since Nectar bottles are low potassium anyway but just pay more attention to my potassium numbers to be on safe side.

Always nice to get that verification that what your doing is benefiting and on track!! I just watched most recent OCG/Scott video again and its got some spot on info on teas. I don't know who asked the question and offered their recipe for a TEA day but it sounded insane? And way out in left field, they had all the liquid microbial products going in at different brew times, etc....if that worked for him great, but it just goes to show the simple misunderstanding about Actively Aerated TEAs. I'm glad we have been discussing this stuff in detail so others can come along and pull proven methods from our chats!! That person had all the tools, but not using them to their fullest potential, and really wasteful in my opinion.

There is a bunch of good green room lives. I don't think they have done them in a while. But cultured, fullon, photo+, slf,etc....etc....all have great info on those sessions. The Dr. A this STAPLE!! Gotta lock down that endo myco connection for all the other stuff to achieve full potential!!
some people go complete ape shit , does it hurt probley not , mite hurt the wallet more .... besides hitting them with brews and cultured ... but im gonna keep tea for tea days and feed for feed day . will I add maybe 1 or 2 more items to the brew recipe ? sure ! but with cultured im adding photo plus , fishsh!t , fullon , slf100 ,
