Hello Heisenberg,
Thanks for getting back to me. Yes this 'after slime' is a bit strange. I will monitor the leaves closely for any additional damage, and the roots for additional slime buildup and the like. I'll take your advice and keep the H202 out of the loop for now. The foliar damage was rather slow to appear, took about a week to get to the point it's in on the pic. I've begun brewing a fresh batch of tea and when ready, will change out the buckets again to ensure a diverse culture in the tea. I've also got a fine filter bag of sorts and I'm going to use that to hopefully keep any particles out of the tea if that is causing the 'after slime' appearance. Would you think it wise to break up the slime a bit with fresh tea in a spray bottle directly to the roots? You mentioned something like that in a previous post. My thought is the slime may stick around because it's gunked all together in those spots. Perhaps if it's broken up the tea can penetrate into the isolated roots that are infected and clean them out.
Thanks again for your feedback Heisenberg. Your plants must love you so much they sing to you at night. +rep

Mr. Bond
