i have a question...

[mathew pixley]

When you buy the organics tea do you have to have it airrate. I know I spelled that wrong haha. Or can you just put some in water and leave it sit. Any info on organic tea or how to mix it with water would be great. Thanks RIU

yes aerating is a good idea...airstones work well

helps to solubliez everything, like dipping a tea bag

 

[mathew pixley]

What are airstones and how much would it cost to get some

 

[latewood]

Airstonss are what you buy to make aeration / bubbnles in your Fish tank. And; Yes, itis a good idea to aerate your solution no matter what it is made of.

What do I put the tea in? Or do I put it directly in the water

 

[OG Gardenz]

Tea made from things like castings and guano should be bubbled for a while in some form of bag to keep tea solution from being clumpy, cloth with rubberband will work.
Although, I add solubles directly to water like Humic Acid, Kelp and Cane molasses, these types of things are like instant tea, they do not need to be brewed as they are soluble and already available, but in combination aids to the brewing process.

Great info right there man thank you. And what is the easiest way to go about pirating the water. I only have two plants and only need a little bit of water

 

[OG Gardenz]

you could use tap water but let it sit out so the chlorine dissipates, airstone would help.

 

[mathew pixley]

I have filtered water. I just water these two plants by hand with a gallon jug. Can I airate the water in a gallon jug

 

[OG Gardenz]

ya for sure

 

[mathew pixley]

And the ouml will fit through the little opening like a milkjug

 

[OG Gardenz]

maybe a watering can would work better

 

[mathew pixley]

Pump or hose or what is it

What do I put the tea in? Or do I put it directly in the water

Yes, of course. You get an aquarium air compressor, and some 1/4" black tubing, and somne airstones. Put them all together and you have a bubble machine.

If you are real serious; You can buy a small commercial hydroponic air compressor with more power.

 

[OG Gardenz]

aquarium pumps are only 20$, with some 1/4 in. tubing and your set
