Compost Teas -- Looking for advice :)

TCH0808started grow question 4y ago

Gearing up to use compost teas this pump. What is your "general" rule for teas? How often do you use them? Time based (get ahead of issues and pump them full w/ goodies) or based on an analysis/defs of each plant?

Also ich persönlich nutze für einen normalen Durchgang insgesam 3 Kompost tees. Einen bakteriell dominierten währen der Wachstumsphase und zwei Pilz dominierte für die Blüte. Einen direkt zu Beginn der Blüte und einen zur Mitte hin, etwa zur 4. -5. Woche. Grundsätzlich sind Pilz dominierte Tees ein wenig aufwändiger als bakterielle, da man die Pilzkulturen zunächst anlegen muss. Ist aber alles kein Zaubertrick 😄👍

I generally treated photoperiods outdoors 2 time during flower period.1 during start flower and the other time 4 weeks prior to harvest so i give thisBefore any need appears. I think there are other suplements better suited to treat deficiencies or excesses. But with a good compost tea those chances are greatly reduced

Hard water vs CalMag I don't have EC/PPM meters, but I know that I have hard tap water, according to my city water distribution company. Do I need to suplement CalMag on my feedings? How much should I use if I don't have PPM meters here? What are the risks of using or not using CalMag in this case?

DWC PPM First feed I used rainwater with ppm of 15-18 and mixed 8 gallons with 18 ml of GHE Bloom, Gro and Micro with 4 ml of CalMag. Both buckets have new PPM of 350-390. Is that too aggressive for day 9? Or can I push more? New to DWC and growing and hoping for some applied knowledge. Thanks
