Heisenberg tea (my variation on it):
7-10 litres water (left out for 24 hours if it is tap water for the chlorine to dissipate)
1 dessert spoon full of Unsulfured Molasses.
1 Handful of Worm Castings
2g Great White.
With the water at 22 - 23C, mix everything and run an airpump/airstone through the mix for 48 hours.
After 48 hours, turn off the air pump and let it settle. Then filter the mixture and use the resulting 'tea' in your reservoir (poured into the mix through the hydroton in your net pots).
Store the tea in a fridge for a maximum of 10 days (you will know when it starts to go off as it will smell like week old Gym socks - normal aroma is just 'earthy').
Pour 200ml into your pots every 2 days and watch your roots develop beautifully.
*You can cut down on having to filter the tea by putting the Earthworm Castings into a pair of tights and putting the airstone in there with it (golfball-type airstone is best for this).
Here is one I have brewing currently:

SIDE NOTE:
I have just changed from Great White to
THIS as it is a similar product but MUCH cheaper.
. I love watching new growers fretting about equipment for their new hobby. I did the same thing. About half of the stuff that I bought for the first grow fell by the wayside in the first year or two. Seems like a constant evolution of gear and tweaking your methods to dial in for your space and style. Don't be too disappointed if you don't get it all right the first time. You're in the right place as there are lots of friendly willing to give a bit of advice. But it can be a bit confusing as sometimes the advice can be conflicting. A bit of this
and this
to get you started.
