Foliar feeding guano/ewc teas?

[FresnoFarmer]

What is the benefit here? Is there a sufficient amount of nutrients for the plants to actual absorb or nah? Maybe there is more too it than nutrient intake and I am thinking inside of the box too much? Feedback on this subject would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Idk about guano teas for foliar. I have only made one tea with any guano and it was applied to the soil. I use it more to top dress and mix in my soils. I have foliar fed with fish and kelp, and ewc tea. Organic foliar feeding with teas provides bennie (beneficial bacteria and fungi) to the plants vegetative surfaces that can help the plants to be more resistant to things like mold, disease, drought, heat, beside providing nutrients and water.

Is there a TLO thread on this site?

You said that seaweat word my friend, Kelp. Soluble Potash K2O in water as a foliar feed.
I start with the application of foliar feeding once they grow out their 5th node, and I foliar feed all the way up till the day that I see any flower formation at all. I then stop with the foliar feed, and use the same amount of the foliar feed nutrient (soluble potash from kelp) that went into each batch of foliar feed spray, and water that in with no other nutrients for one night. (I have also just used the remainder of the foliar feed spray, it's the same as mixing some more to pour in.)

Then, I mix a double strength batch of the foliar feed spray, and I carefully take the time to work with the girls and only mist the leaves. I do this for another two weeks.

Foliar feeding in this way, has greatly benefited my garden.

If you have real good EWC, your EWC Compost Tea will be amazing. I do not use much guanos, but as much EWC as you want in a mesh drain bag or just into the water, and let it brew for 24-48 hours.

I foliar feed with seaweed extract. It works wonders. Also I have noticed thicker, whiter, fuzzier roots when using it to water into the soil.

This is the EWC tea I use. I got it from some dude on grasscity named SpaceshipFarmer

DO NOT FOLIAR FEED AFTER WEEK 4 OF BLOOM

You can add a biological stimulator to any brew to give a jump start to the process. I LOVE OREGONISM XL by Root Organics. Follow directions on container.


FLUSHING DIRECTIONS: hahahahahahahahahahahah
Continue until the day you Harvest. Don't Panic, Its Organic!

Curing Directions:
Cut all leaves from buds, leaving only the flower.
Leave the buds on the branch.
Hang branches for 3-4 days on a line in a dark room at 70-75 degrees with average humidity (50-60rh)
Clip buds from branch and into cardboard box. Make sure they are one layer thin on the bottom of box not stacked. Leave them in the box, with the top on, for 3-4 days, giving them a good shake once a day.
Put buds in an air tight glass jar (Ikea) for 3-4 days. *** Very important to shake up and BURP(open top to release gasses) ONCE A DAY*****
After that it should be ready. If anyone tells you it will take less than 10 days to properly cure nugs, forget anything else they have ever told you.
The nugs should barely smell until you twist-break them open, then it should be DANK!

Other directions:

Brew in 5 gallon home depot bucket outside, for smell and overflow reasons. Use as many airstones as possible to bubble your brew. You can't add too much dissolved Oxygen. 18-24 hours later the Sweet molasses smell will turn to a rich earthy smell. IT IS DONE! Let sit for 20 minutes after you remove the airstones to allow sediment to settle to bottom. Pour 2.5 gallons into new bucket to 50/50 with fresh water for soil drench. Use tea with-in 6 hours of airstone removal at max. Right away is best. Rinse out bucket sludge into outside garden as soon as possible. If it dries i'll bet you a dollar you'll buy a new bucket.

Thanks for the recipes man id rep you but i dont know how to anymore lol

No problem bro. Those recipes work great. They are STRONG too. I have even got slight nute burn on a few plants from not diluting it enough lol. It was just a little leaf tip browning. Nothing major. This stuff works great though. Keeps the plants healthy and happy. Glad I could help a fellow grower.

 

[bertaluchi]

That is an awesome recipe Fresno Farmer. Cant wait to get out in my garden and try your tea. Thanks Dude!
