which are the ingredients of areated compost tea in flowering? and why that specific ingredient/s? thanks guys

Hey. The answer is a bit long. Sorry. Compost tea is a liquid infusion obtained by soaking mature compost in water, usually with an oxygen supply. Unlike solid compost that nourishes the soil in the long term, the tea acts as an immediate "boost." Here are the details to understand how it works and why to use it. What is it, concretely? There are two main types, but the most effective is Oxygenated Compost Tea (OCT): You place compost in a porous bag (like a net). You submerge it in water. You often add a food source for the bacteria (like molasses). You use an air pump (like an aquarium) to oxygenate the water for 24 to 48 hours. This allows for the exponential multiplication of beneficial microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, protozoa) present in the compost. What is it used for? Compost tea is not just a fertilizer; it's a concentrate of life. Its roles are multiple: 1. Boosting soil health It reintroduces active biology into the soil. These microorganisms decompose organic matter to make it directly assimilable by plant roots. 2. Strengthening plant immune systems By spraying the tea on the leaves (foliar application), the good bacteria occupy the space. This creates a physical barrier that prevents fungal diseases (fungi like powdery mildew or downy mildew) from settling in. 3. Improving growth Nutrients in liquid form are absorbed much more quickly than with solid amendments. It's ideal for giving a tired plant or one in full flowering period a "pep" boost. 4. Reducing the need for chemical fertilizers It's a 100% natural and free alternative (if you make your own compost) that respects the balance of biodiversity in your garden.
