Trying to get some info on making compost tea. Really don’t want to do trial and error on this grow. Or if some one could point me in the right direction for a good top feed. Usually a dwc, grown in soil a few time first time trying to go organic I’ll take all tips and information.

AACT, Bloom Tea, Veg Tea, Fungal Tea, Myco Tea, recipes from the outdoor guys.

So there has been a bit of confusion about teas, teas are as unique as individuals brewing them. Each one unique to area, bacterial source, ratios, and needs. Different teas have different purposes. The Outdoor guys that are using organic teas for their crops have a thread that is organic in...

Just as he demystified the soil food web in his ground-breaking book Teaming with Microbes, in this new work Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener’s perspective.

Since you mentioned DWC/hydro, thought I'd mention that you might want to skip making your own compost tea in favor of getting a dry product of selected mycorrhizae with probiotic bacteria.

And also since you mentioned not wanting to do trial and error: you can find "instant" dry compost tea products if you want to culture mycorrhizae and probiotic bacteria at a larger scale or for soil.

Example product I use for DWC inoculation: https://themightyplant.com/product/mycoroots-mycorrhizae/
Example product I use for making a compost tea: https://themightyplant.com/product/instant-compost-tea/
Note/disclaimer: I do not use the instant compost tea for DWC.

How organic are you looking to go? You could do bottled organics, you could do recycled organic, or you could do no till.

Good top feed.....bas craft blend and ewc. Throw some grokashi on top of that and mulch.

To make a tea, put 4 gallons of water in a 5 gal. bucket. Add 1 1/2 cups ewc/compost, and 1/3 cup molasses. Put some airstones connected to an air pump in the bucket and aerate for at least 24 hours. An airlift brewer works best.
