If you are growing in very rich organic material, then using a tea wont do much?
But dosnt using a tea in rich medium keep feeding the bacteria and such?
how do you know if you have too many microbes? what are the symptoms?your getting there youll understand soon enough i i where to sit and spoon feed anymore it couild be detrimental to the learning process
but no really, all the peices will come together in your head in time, but you got the right ideas, i could tell from your last 2 posts. and yes that is basically what we are saying, but what he is saying(in a nut shell) is overabundance of microbes is bad and it can be.

AS a control you should leave one plant well watered to see for yourself which gets the best results: letting the soil dry before watering or keeping it well watered.all kinds of syptoms basically the plant begins to get no nutrition. foul smell lots of signs, pH swings causing lockouts and random deficiencies. ect. problems without a cause basically. ive seen peole trying to do all organic with some hot as soil and there plant wilts over night. a lot of it has to do with what the microbes are doing to the soil.
ive killed plants fucking around with bad teas and over watering.
key is control, let the soil dry up, use(kills pop.) some hydroponic ferts to kill off microbe pop. to be replenished when you water with tea(aka inoculate) and to use a low nutrient content soil mix. its really he only way to effectively use microbes in container gardening without it creating more problems than solving.

I'd wager the well watered plants will look so much better and with more buds. I've seen that keeping it well watered is much less stressful on the plant especially a flowering one than letting it dry before hydrating. Also have you try to rehydrate peat or had PH issues, lockouts etc after rehydrating peat based soil no matter how much lime was added? Additionally, when well watered, more solubles are available to the plant. Ever think on the critical 5/6th week ( of a 8 week plant ) into flowering and the soil is only half dry at a time when its pushing the flowering envelope?
