To Tea or Not To Tea
Shadowhoundstarted grow question 3 years ago
How's it goin y'all, my question, I hope it's not a dumb question, do I NEED to brew a compost tea if my soil already has fertilizer and nutes in it (using Dr.Earth dry amendments like the all purpose 4-4-4, veg 5-7-3, and bloom 3-9-4) for autos?

Brewing teas helps the microbes in the soil stay active it also helps the plants obtain nutrients at a faster rate however it is not essential for growing but it does increase nutrient uptake and can also help against bugs hope this helps
hafthor_growsanswered grow question 3 years ago
A reasonable alternative to brewing your own aeriated compost tea is an innoculant like ReCharge. UNLESS you are using ACT to deliver nutrients. As long as you are amending every month you shouldn't need additional nutrients. The last factor is pot size. If you are using 10 gallon and below you will likely need to some kind of additional inputs as the pot size is too small for water only. Hope this helps and have a great grow!

When changing the weekly water, do you refill the basin with regular, then add a 1/4 cup.of water with the grow formula? Or, do you fill it all the way with the grow formula water? It's says to top off with regular water between changes, but nothing about the refill.Week 3

Yellowing leaves/slow growth week 1-2What would you recommend as the course of action for these girls? I need them to recover quick....
My thoughts are some root tonic? Since giving them last round of nutes, I've just been giving water and recovery is so slow, girls are barely moving....Week 2
