Brewing up a tea to start feeding my soil, found a brand new pump in my shed from my long lost fish tank thank god my old one died, adding some probiotics microcozzi and aerobic bacteria. seaweed and aminogro and raw sugar to activate it poured a worm tea in yesterday to get things going. So looking forward to this season.20180930_095559.jpg 20180930_094959.jpg 20180930_094917.jpg

How can I correct this?
If it's only on the lowest leaves I wouldn't worry too much or just up the nutes a fraction. K is very mobile so if they are growing really fast like whenn they stretch or are fattening up sometimes they'll use more K than they can uptake so they'll transfer K from the oldest growth to newest. It can also be a sign of excess Sodium or Calcium

That filter pump isn't going to do the job,you need more power.
Mycorrhizae don't need to be brewed they need to be in contact with a roots surface before they start to multiply their numbers,I'd add it after brewing.

It’s only on the oldest growth, I might have up the nutes 5ml to a litre of a and b should do it

Thanks man but I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on a couple of points. first the pump moves400 litres per hour which is 38 times the buckets capacity. Second I activate my microcozzi and bacterium with raw sugar and it works actually better by creating more favourable conditions and you get a higher population everytime. I understand most folks just put it on the root system I get it and I do it too at transplant time but there are other ways to get the job done that work just as well or perhaps better. I appreciate the advice though.
Happy growing! Actually its more about thebacteria the microcoz activate more in the soil

Just bought some.
diatomaceous earth Would I just evenly spread it as topsoil to kill gnats... thick and thin layer, or how do I use t correctly

Its not me you're disagreeing with it's one of the top experts in the field,it's no drama to me I just thought I'd stop you from wasting your time but go right ahead.

You don't "activate" Mycorrhizae with sugar they do that when the come into contact with a root.

Your using a water pump not an air pump,it's never going to get the dissolved oxygen levels in the water to the levels you need too.

Ummmisaid it's more about the bacteria not the micro, I appreciate your input I really do but im not wasting my time, I kinda know what I'm doing here. I've been using the same kind of pump for years and it works for me so again thanks man but if it ain't broken I ain't fixing it 20180930_122746.jpg
