hey guys, i was wondering if there were any other guys out there who brew compost tea for means of indoor growing?

I am not a awesome grower, yet. But listening to the guys at the grow shop i slowly got into compost tea and then i realized its great for plants of any kind. It helps my plants absorb nutrients, fight pests, and its the healthiest thing for your soil/root system.

Im currently making tea using the progress earth mix. On top of this i use the GO line strictly.

Nice garden!
I think compost teas are pretty common for indoor organic grows. I brew them per http://www.microbeorganics.com/ receipe.

Is that the EcoPlus Commercial Air pump #1? Looks like the same pump as me. I found this tip:
- Remove the factory brass nozzle on the air pump and put the ½” ID tubing over the top of the small round male part where the air comes out. This will increase airflow dramatically!
Worked for me! but it is a little loud....

AACT in its most pure and simple form is just good compost (or worm castings), molasses, and water. Stick with that, and your plants will thank you. Other things you can add in small amounts include kelp, fish hydrolysate, yucca, or alfalfa. Other than that, I would avoid adding any of those bottled products.

I'm not using anything bottled to make tea lol. The progress earth line I use has lots of worm castings, mollasses in it. And I have 2 brands of kelp I use! Progress earth rocks, you should give it a try

I use compost teas. I use a blend of Vermicompost/Humus from a local source along with Earth Juice Hi-Brix Molasses and MaxiCrop Kelp. I also use BioCanna base nutes a few times in flower along with their BioBoost. I mainly just use compost and guano teas though and have good success. though i had these weird yellow tips show up on only my new growth of a couple GDP i have in 10gal pots. not quite sure what it's from.. what kinda soil blend are you using?
