Organic Tea Without Supersoil?

Hello everyone I am just wondering What is probably and easy question can organic bloom teas be enough for plants without supersoil? Has anyone tried this and had any issues? I am just wondering Because i am going to start doing some teas I am going to run and grab the equipment and maybe some of the organic ingredients.

you don't need SS to use teas. in fact, you don't add ferts with SS. brew your teas........your plants will thank you

yea I only use my tea if my SS is`t enough (if I see signs of Def.)

another thing I do is giving them a top dressing of Bat guano (15% P. and 1-2% N/K) around week 4 in to flowering .. a few ts. on top of the soil before I water .. that provide the late flowering plants with high P. in its last bulking ..

also Black strap molasse is a great thing to use for the soil micro life ..
provide carps for it .. soil contains +40K diffrent backterias per gram .. diffrent !

specialy in flowering as it also contains stuff like Ca/MG .. K. and Iron aso. and sugar for the buds (some claim they can tast it ?)

a ts. in a cup of boiling water .. then add it to your water can .. evry other time you water .. in 12/12

agreed. some top-dressing is all i do in SS

Ok Sweet I was just wondering because I found that most people who used teas were also using super soil. I am planning on doing super soil eventually. Also I wanted to know if the chlorine would be removed from tap water buy just running a fish aerator for a while?

let the the water sit for 24 hours min and the chlorine will dissipate (minus chloramine, not a big deal though), bubbling helps & will oxygenate the water, your roots will enjoy it

I make a weaker version of super soil, to get my plants through the early veg. growth, and then hit them hard with teas during flower.

You don't have to let the water sit for 24hrs. The chlorine will react with any organic matter. I simply fill a 5 gallon bucket, toss a little coco or molasses in there and bubble for a few hours.

Thanks everyone for the information it helped a lot. Jack I am glad you gave me that website I have bookmarked a lot from it now

Bookechu Thanks man. This sounds like an awesome idea and something I was looking for exactly.
