Pre-mixed Teas Indoors?

Hello. I am switching to organic. I have been shopping around for pre-mixed teas. I grow indoors in a small tent with FF soil. I just want to buy pre-mixed to try it out and may start making my own later. Does anyone have any good luck with this and have a suggestion on a good brand for indoor cannabis?
Boogie brew looks like it has good ingredients.
Green Bicycles is actually made for cannabis I believe.
Synergy, Bu's Brew(cow manure??)
I prefer this to be my only fertilizer. Any thoughts or suggestions?? Thanks :weed:

Red frog is pretty good too. Never used any of those you list but honestly the best tea is from fresh ewc straight outta da bin. I know that Boogie brew is made from insect frass (meal worm poop) which is probably good stuff. I've been adding the frass globally in the mix at recycles and it's seems to be a fast source of N. A big ass bag of worm castings will do about the same thing as any of those pre-mixed teas will at half the cost. Just add ewc, molasses, and maybe some kelp and bubble in clean water for 36+ hrs.
You may have problems using only aacts as fertilizer. Especially without a well established soil food web in your mix. Teas do more to increase microbial activity than to actually feed the plants. Consider adding a solid form of natural slow release fertilizer like chicken or cow manure along with more worm castings when you transplant to the next size containers.

You keep talking about chicken manure. Well you convinced me to try it out, and my shit actually just got here today, lol. It's not the Charlie's though. This is more of a pure manure I think so I will go easy at first. I'm planning to mix a little in with some vermicompost and see how they like it. It says it doesn't smell, but we'll see, haha.

Excellent choice; I wouldn't go on about it if it wasn't real good shit. Chix poop is kinda hot tho; only need about a handful or so per container. My plants get a nice deep green from it.

I'm in 15 gal pots. How much do you think I should use per pot? Manure was one thing missing from my arsenal of dry amendments. Thanks for the help.

I have seen chicken manure grow excellent outdoor crops. I'm just not sure I want it in my indoor spot. I did pretty well with just Big Bloom last grow I just thought Tea would be next step up. I'm just trying to transition over and find out if it is worth it. I really like worm castings and guano. I think since Green bicycles doesn't have it I will do that and amend with some castings and guano. I will def consider manure if I need to. Thanks alot.

Thanks for the link. Always looking for neat stuff. They got other items of interest too. It's hard to work with real manure as it must be composted as well as organic. Worth the price for something ready to go. :mrgreen:

Yes you sure can. Almost week six. Good soil. Good plants. Good compost/manure tea. 4x4 tables. 6x6 inch pots. 1000w hps overhead. 600w t5 blue spectrum on the sides. All sativa dominant plants from Hawaii. Clones from 2019 dep and full term F1 test.
Pic 1 -SC pheno more sativa. Makes old school colas dep and full. Sweet and fuely. Red purple green and blue colored buds. Extremely uniform pheno.
Pic 2 -Black top. Dark purple almost black when done. Primo. Fresh asphalt skunk/sulfur? with diesel and berry flavor. Delicious! More indica pheno. Faster finish by two weeks in dep. Two distinct phenos. This one makes more weight, faster and mouth coating terps. Other one less weight, different taste like wedding cake but super super caked in trichs.
Pic 3-the rest of the phenos. Ive found some keepers for sure. Old school sativasish.
