yes roots like oxygen. which has zero to do with that fertilizer blend. yes bacteria like oxygen but they dont like guano. compost tea and fertilizing are different. you could see the same results from just stirring it with a stick and applying it. Nugs care to give that a try?
What do you mean bacteria don't like guano, lol bacteria are what composted the guanos in the first place. Why not add dry guanos to your tea when it's all going to go to the same place? The bacteria/fungi are feeding on the sucanat, so adding some kelp and guano isn't gonna hurt things. It's gonna give it a lot more time to completely break down if he bubbles it with the microbes from the home-aid EWC. Plus that Espoma has microbes in it i see....

your premise is false guanos are not properly composted. but ewc are. the biology comes from the compost not the guano. y introduce a manure thats not composted properly when all the biology u need is in the ewc. u then feed that with clean food like kelp and molases

So you're saying it's better to top dress with dry guanos, and then brew the ewc,kelp, and molasses and water it in?

Great read! Had a question for you though, I get it now that aact and guano teas are completely different now, but let's say you wanted to fertilize with a guano tea...is it best to stir it up and use it right away, or let it steep stirring it over a day or so?..I just want a little fertilization, I don't wanna murder my babies lol sorry in advance nugs if I'm hijacking your thread just figured kushking was te one to ask on the subject

Hey nugs could you give me a brief reference to the personal benefit of juiced leaves? I have a friend that is "afraid" to get high and I figured a juice would be a good alternative with the same medicinal value.

i am juicing to heal my guts that were destroyed by antibiotics, and to regulate my comprimised immune system.......he/she will not get high from juice, not matter how potent the strain....that is if it is juiced fresh, and not allowed to dry at all.....you can juice vegging and early flowering material up to resin production, when it tends to gum up juicers......:leaf:

alright....did my research and ordered my supplies......this is what i will be feeding my plants/bennies....(applied seperately)

Dry Top Dress(worked into top 4 inches of soil)....a mixture of.....

epsoma tomato tone 3-4-6 with bennies
High P Guano 0-8-0 with bennies and myco
EWC

my tea.....

homemade EWC
Fish Hydrolysate
kelp
comfrey
sucanat

i am stoked to go bottle free for the first time under the sun....will let my plants tell me when to feed.....my guess is 2 top dresses in the next 5 weeks, and tea every other watering....

...the only bottle being the fish.........everything else is a solid.

Comfrey is a common plant.......it is the king of bio-accumulators....meaning it sucks up nutes and minerals out of the earth, and stores them in their leaves......it also contains high levels of allantoin. “The chief healing element in comfrey is allantoin, a cell proliferant which promotes the granulation and formation of epithelial cells.” A more simplified explanation is that allantoin “has the property of multiplying healthy cells and not malignant ones.” Comfrey contains from 0.6 to 0.8 per cent allantoin........in other words it helps in the formation of healthy cells in regards to growth and healing of damaged cells.

Comfrey has a series of taproots that extend deep down into the soil comfrey is able to extract and accumulate large quantities of potassium (around 7%) and to a lesser extent phosphorous (around 1%), calcium (around 3%), magnesium and other trace elements.

The comfrey leaves act as storage bins for the cache of extracted minerals. The resulting proportions of minerals stored make for a well-balanced, readily available form of fertiliser that’s ideal for many of our most popular crops such as potatoes,onions, tomatoes and citrus fruit.

The comfrey leaves themselves have so little fiber and so much protein, resulting in a carbon to nitrogen ratio of 14:1, that they will break down rapidly when harvested.

For this reason comfrey has been referred to as `Instant Compost’

i used to make comfrey sludge, but it stinks like a motherfucker, so now i just bubble it as a powder, and in a matter of hours becomes really slimey in a good way.....
