To Tea or Not To Tea
Shadowhoundstarted grow question 4 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 4 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!

Hydroponic PPM and feeding. How do I match magnesium sulphate to potassium for flowering??Do I got this right? Hydroponic Flowering cannabis eats at a rate of 1-1-2 and for maximum useage, feeding 1-1-2 makes sense. Extra nutes outside the ratio is wasted and extra. You want highest PPM possible before burning. Will extra Cal-Mag burn roots/leaves?Feeding. Other

Math check.Making my own bloom booster, aiming for a 0-10-10 ratio. I use powders and know that 1 tsp = 5ml. If make up a 1 litre solution, to achieve 0-10-10 would that mean 980ml of water 2 tsp of mono-ammonium phosphate 2 tsp of potassium sulphate?Week 5

Terpinator (During Flush or Not)For those of you who use Terpinator, do you prefer using it up until harvest or do you prefer still cutting out everything during your flush? I know its' advertised as being able to use during flush so I'm not worried it's unsafe. Just figured I'd see what my fellow growers like!Week 10

Coco grow: the EC of my runoff is consistently 0.2 mS/cm lower as what goes in (1.1 in at this time, runoff is at 0.9). Also, PH of runoff is at 5.8, while 6,5 goes in. Is this a problem? What causes this? Its been 8 days since germination and they look healthy.

Nutrient burn?I believe I overfertilized this week. I am using a four bucket DWS system with Reservoir bucket. This is the last week of my veg and I might’ve been heavy handed with the fertilizer. At one point my solution was 1844 ppm. I usually run itbetween 8 to 1200 ppm. I delutedd the solution in half. I didn’t have time to change it all because the lights are going out. Do you think this is nutrient burn? Thanks
