I've been growing hydro all my life yet I don't have the slightest idea when to use tea fertilizers. Do growers use different types of fertilizer tea throughout the stages of the plant? Or do you use one recipe and go with it til the end of the yield? :confused:

It would be best to start with a fungi dominant tea since they take more time to get established. After 2 weeks of fungi tea, begin applying the bacteria and growth teas. Alfalfa is a great tea additive for veg cause of the growth hormone in it. Fish hydroslate is as well.

I use 2/3 cup of
Peruvian seabird guano
Jamaican bat guano
Worm castings.
5 tbs of maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract.
I also add 5 tbs of liquid karma
5 tbs blackstrap molasses.
Mix into 5 gallons of dechlorinated water.
I let it brew for two days and then use.
This is the flower mix I use with every watering. The veg mix is the same except for 1/3 cup of each and instead of jamaican bat guano use Mexican.

Hope this helps.
