AACT.

I am doing an AACT in a 32 gallon trash can. My bubbler stopped working and my tea was not aerated for about 12 hours. Prior to the bubbler stopping, the tea had been aerated for 36hours. Can I still use the tea even though it wasn't aerated for the last 12 hours? Lastly, has anyone done this size volume of AACT? If so, please list your recipe with nutrient amounts and bubbler size. All help and experience greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My batches of tea are done in an 18 gallon tote bin and I don't really measure my amendment quanitities with any kind of deadly accuracy. For an all purpose tea I try to go with a handful or 2 of EWC, and I pour out in my palm a little alfalfa meal, kelp meal, and then I add about a tblsp of molasses- if I want a stronger tea I will add guano and/or fish fertilizer. I bubble it from 24-36 hrs- it seems to diminish in micro activity after that long.
I have many times made up a tea for my buddy who grows and it gets sealed in a jar for like 10 hrs with no bubbler & he says it still seems to work just fine. I think of you just use it as is you'll be ok but I would use it up ASAP before it goes anaerobic.
