Day 51
I gave them all a bloom tea last night which I brewed for a solid 24 hrs at around 72°F..The tea is one of @Eyes on Fire 's recipes on the " A good tea template" thread..I threw in some minor additions to it,just to play with it and use some stuff I have on hand
The recipe is as follows:
3.5 - 4 gallons of water
Basmati rice - 1.5 - 2 cups (steeped for a bit for the rice wash and enriched water added right to the tea prior to brewing).
Mushroom compost - 1 cup
Composted cow manure - 1 cup
Bokashi - 1/4 cup
EWC - 1 cup (Fresh is best.use a mix of fresh and composted is best imho for a shorter brew at around 24 hours tops with fresh castings)
Insect Frass - 2 tablespoons
Baseline granular humus - 1.5 tablespoons
Bonemeal - 1 teaspoon (Flowering only imo) I used 1-1.5 teaspoons Guano 0-5-0
Azomite - 3 teaspoons
Powdered molasses - 2 tablespoons
Liquid fish 5-1-1 or 3-3-3 - 5 tablespoons. I used Neptune's 2-4-1
Sugar in the raw - 4 - 5 tablespoons
4 species Endo mix - 2.5 tablespoons with an 1/8 of a teaspoon boosted at mixing to feed...I used a blend of the 4 species from Sustainable Agricultural Technologies,VAM Endo and Great White.
cal mag,kelp powder,big bloom surfactant and/or any endo mix should ALL be added when mixing for feeding added after brewing of these components ( I added about a table spoon or a little over of liquid kelp to the brew and a quick glob of the Myco Chum to the brew as well)
Surfactant- 5 or 6 drops per gallon ( 1/8 tsp if soil is really dry ) I used 8 drops
Use 1/3-1/4 of a gallon of tea to 3/4 gallons of water
While the tea was brewing, I added a few ML's of Mammoth P to it as well but you can just add it to your feed pitcher when watering..Just experimenting after watching KIS Organics on Youtube add the Mammoth directly to the tea while brewing.
I didn't use the big bloom at the moment because I already had the Guano in the tea bag and as far as cal/mag that will be about 8 drops to a gallon of water on the the watering coming up.
