Getting ready to start feedings soon. I'm brewing tea's for my first time. After grips of research and intimidation I've come to this combo for my basic starter brew.

Worm castings
Alaskan humus
Beneficial bacteria
Molasses

Air pump
Bubble stone
Bucket
48 hour brew? (Ph)

Just wanted to get some feedback if I'm on the right track.

Happy harvests:)20140805_064845.jpg

i'm in the same boat. not sure if i should add a bit of everything or just do one or two things at a time. seems like it's hard to go wrong with, at the least you're feeding them super oxygenated water with nutrients in it. i'll probly brew for 24 hours or less 'cause i'll be doing just a gallon at a time.

I just got back from the hydro shop and all the growers that work there use the simple recipe I put above, the catalyst (beneficial bacteria) is where I need to do a little more research. Then we can add extra stuff at flower like bat guano etc....and get our own recipe for different strains as we learn from each other on this forum. They (the hydro shop) brew the recipe above and give it away free twice a week at each location. They brew 24 hours like you said. They also said that since I'm using soil I Don't have to worry about ppm or ph, but I'll check ph, somewhat. I add extra lime to my soil and may in the tea for ph balance. Maybe another tea user will throw us a bone. Keep me updated and I'll do the same. I'm going to use there free tea while I veg. And finish research (and get more money:)

there's a lot of stuff you can use. alfalfa, kelp, guano, castings, mycorrhizae, a ton of stuff. I'm thinking of trying to feed my plants a varied diet. I know most growers find one feeding method and stick to that, but I'm wondering what would happen if I fed my plants different foods, like how a person wants to eat different meals everyday. Couldn't hurt, right?

That's exactly what I'm doing. The ingredients you listed are on point also. We're on the same track. I already can tell I'm going to be doing a lot of various diets with 6 different stains, I'm already noticing how differently they all drink just water even. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and methods. This will be fun.
