The above compost tea has been brewed and applied weekly since late veg with full strength--usually around 1.75-3 EC @pH 5.9-6.1 to the soil and half to 1/3 strength EC @pH 6.3-6.5 as a foliar spray. A compost tea was brewed with a combination of soil biology from a peacock & chicken coup and a product called Mikro-Myco Mycorrhizal Super pack. Note: pH adjustments were made using apple cider vinegar and pine wood ash. Also-- nutrient amounts are approximates which vary ever so slightly week to week. *Note* growdiaries should really integrate their nutrient solutions in such a way that each nutrient can have it's own unit of analysis otherwise using dry amendments v. liquid gets confusing and messy as you can see I'm the chart above. I use mostly metric with the occasional American SI unit (in ochem using American units is just as dumb as your avg American...I can say that because, sadly, I was born on this nightmare of a nation states soil :( ). So...just use your best judgement if analyzing the above nutes...most of it teaspoon only because of how this site measures volume and weight.

Don't think that's a true "worm" more of a larva / grub / maggot. Remove it and treat soil with BTi, should help kill any others hidden in it. Good Luck

Hey, BTi is a bacteria that kills a lot of insects in the larva stage of life. its a great pesticide that's not going to cause of a lot of negative effects and I believe it is also approved for organic growing. This is a small bit of info on what it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis_israelensis I just happened to see my name when I was looking at the questions page and decided I should reply :D PS. when you use mention tags [@m0use] in the questions part of this webpage, it will not notify us of it. Best to use your DM Inbox. its the little green arrow on the bottom right of this screen. This is only in the questions part of the webpage everything else the tagging using @ should work just fine. Best Of Luck!

Just measured my runoff--came in at pH 7.25 w/EC 1400 and ppm of 750. I'm quite confused considering I've never watered above pH 6.5 and the past few weeks I've gradually increased from 5.9 to 6.3. I have added an additional Coco top dressing w/diatomaceous earth and brocolli?

Soil will buffer its own PH quite well. your mix is 25% soil The kitty litter and DE will help keep that PH up vs lower it down. Next run I would try it without the kitty litter and see how that works out for you. Keep watering in at aorund 6.5-6.8 and let the soil manage the rest. I don't know much about broccoli lowing soil PH but if you find a horticultural sulphur at a store it can help just might be a bit late into this grow but can always try. Best Of Luck!
