I use barley & popcorn sst for veg
And popcorn and mung beans for bloom also in bloom I make a Banana and egg shell tea
I am interested in hearing more about the Banana and egg shell. Calcium from the egg shell? What else?I use barley & popcorn sst for veg
And popcorn and mung beans for bloom also in bloom I make a Banana and egg shell tea
Mainly for potassium I also add coconut water to it
I sprouted a table spoon of alfalfa seed in water then into cotton pads as a sprouting medium Contained in a closed seal tub, It sprouted in 5 days I added a litre of water to a jug added my sprouts and blended, I left the mixture to sit over night as mentioned by clackamas coot, then I used the mix at a dilution of 1 table spoon to a litre of water and I use this in veg my seedlings are quite buff, the reason for blending is the release of growth regulators sugars and enzymes, this seems to be working for me it's my first time I also have mung beans, picture of seedlings only nutes are ssts and I've made my on soil mixture of worm castings, compost river rock and rock particles, I really think its working.
I've asked myself the same question, all these remedies are meant to boost nutrients, but how is none of this causing people's plants to get nutrient burn? I feel like it's hard to control how much of each nutrient your plants are getting, especially if you already have a fertilizer mix going in.
Hey, I'm not sure about the foliar spray, but I know that you should use the SST you make as soon as you blend it into a puree, the longer it is stored, regardless of the methods, the more the enzymes lose their potency. Also, I'm seeing people mix their SST with a variety of methods like compost tea, eggshell and banana tea, kelp meal, fulvic acid, etc, so I'm assuming you should be good to go on that.
Same here, I don't waste the soaking water, and my plants enjoy it. I also shake my seeds up as I soak them to help break down the outer shells without doing damage to the seed itself.
1st timer but this is what I'm doing. My plan is to make 2 gallons of SST water/feed by using 14 total grams of alfalfa seeds. I rinse them in RO water real well then soaked for 12hours, rinsed again and soaked for another 24hours, then removes most of the water and am letting them sprout. Once the bulk has 1/4"+ tails I will blend them up with a cup of water or two. Then take that mixture and strain through coffee filter. Then add that to the 2 gallons and hope I don't ruin grow by giving it to them hah
Just ground up fresh malted barley. SST is a cool science experiment but amalayse enzymes are what you are looking for with SST and it’s way easier to just use malted barley as the sugar source in a brewed compost tea. If you’re a soil grower, add it to your topdress a couple times in veg and call it good.
That is awesome and thanks much. Is there any malted barley that is better than the next? Anything you might recommend or does it not matter? And can you add in veg flower or both?
if attached to organic, source organic malted barley through brew suppliers. Key is to grind fresh though, I use my high quality espresso burr grinder on a coarse setting. I use barley grinding as a cleaning method on my mazzer super jolly. Serves dual purpose twice a year.
Freeze dryerHey guys,
Any suggestions on storing and keep nettle leaves for future use....
I have a ton of them everywhere I look and I want to harvest as much as I can and keep them.
Best ways to preserve store nettle leaf?
Can it be effective as a bio stimulate in tea for plants once preserve or store.
I may enough where I can market excess for resell to local organic restaurants but they are bought in season while fresh to cook with.
Ideas, thoughts suggestions?
DankSwag
