Haha, I wanna make sure the things I tweaked run good for awhile before I share what I changed, I'd hate to give you guys some info and fuck up your plants. I'd feel horrible.

Don't worry though, things are looking hella good on the moms in the new mix so I'm sure I'll be sharing soon. We will see once they go into flower :D

They are getting huge, they are going to be huge once I get to flower them lol. One is 2ft tall and the other is just over 2ft :D

Whats up gigs? So I think that deficiency is Phosphorous (P). Just started again with my girls. Have some rust spots and drying leaves and it looks like that in my book (marijuana Horticulture growers bible). What u think to correct this issue?

You mean this 420? :D

In our Nursery I use straw as my primary fungal food, most organic carbon matter is great for fungi to attach to; and sugars (molasses/sugars/etc.) this directly feeds the bacteria so they can multiply.

Back to the original recipe, Compost + Water + Time= compost tea.
Now we want to supercharge this tea with aeration, this will provide a couple of HUGE benefits. The first being, harmful bacteria are more prevalent to anaerobic conditions (no air involved), Ecoli is one you probably recognize, it doesn't thrive will in aerated teas, but in a anaerobic tea, it breeds like crazy. Also this provides a constant movement of the water, circulating the microorganisms so they can work together better and reproduce much much more quickly. The difference in time is from weeks to days.

Now looking at our simple tea Compost, Water, Air,[less] time = better tea. But we are still missing the fungal part. We have bred a great amount of bacteria but there is nothing for the fungi to attach to and the bacteria have overgrown them. Add any kind of raw organic matter that will float, you don't need to over do it, but a handful of ground oats, a bit of straw cut up, some raw sea kelp, whatever you have around will do if your compost is good from the beginning.
I also have a great tip, if you are having problems getting your fungi to get moving go to a nice fertile forest bed and dig a handful of soil out, this is so full of fungi that you won't need much else to get it started.

Now to balance out the fungus and bacteria I add a couple spoonfuls of raw molasses to feed the bacteria.

So our simple tea is getting more complicated, but still very simple.

Water
Compost
Forest Soil
Organic Matter (something that floats!)
Sugars
Aeration
Organic Compounds
Time

This should be your base for all compost teas. Now any Organic Compounds you add to it will get broken down very quickly (in a matter of days) so the nutrients will be usable to the plant, as well as supercharging the micro herd in your soil. How you alter the ratios of the ingrediants above denotes how bacterial/fugal your tea is.

Very Simply, bacterial compost can be made using 30% floating organic material, 45% organic compounds (bone meal, guano etc,) and 25% compost; whereas, fungal compost can be made using 45% floating organic material, 30% organic compounds, and 25% compost. If you would like to create a more balanced compost, use 35% floating organic material, 35% organic compounds, and 30% compost.

Waiting for the first grower to mention that your ^^ fish emulsion is NOT organic/or suitable for food crops:eyesmoke: ....and have one those "fights" again, the shit grows great plants is a FACT. Indoors it's a little NON stealthy though :P

Lovely girls giggles..........
