1/8 tsp alfalfa meal
1/4 tsp Mex. bat guano or blood meal

1 tbsp molasses
1 tsp epsom salt
pinch of rock phosphate
1/2 cup netted Happy Frog Soil Conditioner (packed full of fungi, bacteria, humic acid, guano, WC, etc)

Good soil mix is great BUT just so boring for my ADHD. Do you at least feed that foliage? Is there something you would recommend in my brew?

I have been mostly growing 12/12 from seed so I always have budding plants next to my ''vegging'' plants. So the only foliar feed I do is stinging nettle and horsetail tea while my plants are young cuts or baby seeds in my veg cabinet.

I dont find it too boring coze i try to have a life outside of growing weed and have many plants to water every night. As soon as summer is over though i might start playing with blooming teas again but i never had a dialed in recipe.

If you're looking to feed the plants (more specifically the soil), then having kelp meal, alfalfa meal, and guano would be just fine. The rock phosphate is slow release so it really serves no immediate benefit in your tea unless you recycle your soil. I'm not even sure what percentage of RP is water soluble. If you're dealing with a well amended soil, I doubt that you need the PH down, or the epsom salts.

If you're looking to brew an ACT, then ewc's and molasses is all you would need to multiply the bacteria.

I'm not trying to criticize what you're doing, just trying to clarify what your objective is with this tea.

You're right about the RP being slow release, but that along with the molasses I use seems to be enough calcium. Read somewhere once that citric acid and microbes help speed up the process. Earth juice PH down or lemon juice will help. I do most of my feeding through the brew and foliage. I like variety in small amounts as opposed to whatever soil you mixed up and are pretty much stuck with. Love having complete control of what and when with teas. Forgot to mention I'm doing this with a pretty basic soil...might as well be soilless.

Fishbone meal 5-15-3

Very informative lol. I like to use Sunleaves Peruvian seabird poo 12-11-2 the last week of veg and until they show sex...ease it in. Then, I'll hit em with the high P like the fishbone (which I like a lot more than reg bone meal) and the Jamaican/Indo bat guano.

Do you use Oyster shell for ca? I just started using that and azomite. New to supersoil but I still like teas, teas are more for deficiency in my grow and a booster at certain time in their life. Im happy with the direction im heading, the taste and looks are improving. I like to mix in all methods and use whats best for me. Im almost a year into growing and its getting fun finally, stressful at tines, hard work and lots of time but the compliments I been getting is great for me. I wish I could be legal out in Colorado but until then I will try to learn new stuff, I study 2 or more hours a day, when I find a chance I like to bullshit w the good guys on here and have fun sharing info.

I've never used oyster in teas...just soil. Glad to here your enthusiasm and progress bro! I have a friend out in Colorado who's BIG TIME and legit. He's living the dream right now. Taught me the tricks of the trade of DWC and I gave him a good organic recipe. After seeing and smoking the power of organics he's converted half his factory. It's nice being able to have someone to share grows with. After trying most methods over a whopping two years...I'm getting the best results with a high CEC soil, lots of drainage, and organic teas. Like you I just want to keep learning. One thing I never see cannabis growers use is mineralized top soil. Shit ton of work but you'll have an abundance of cheap ass organic traces and minerals. MTS is a whole other subject tho.
