Enzyme tea is more for PGR's and elemental compounds, as far as I've been reading anyhow. In the process of brewing up alfafa seed tea so I'll let you know how it goes. EWC assuming you have viable castings is for introduction of microbial life, and or if using molasses and kelp as food stock...

You pretty much just want to give the microbes all the time they need to break down your composted materials into a nice viable, rich humus teeming with microbes :]...regardless of what you use and depending on food stock added to mix you might not have to cycle the soil for all that long at...

Hey RIU, Just wanted to ask a couple questions about Lab cultures, I have finished product that has been cut with molasses, and have not used it much but seem to be having some type of lockout, deficiency (mg) and wanted to know if it does clear up salt build ups would it be beneficial to use...

I would say use whatever is working for you good buddy, gotta experiment to perfect the art. and they usually take a while to break down unless your soil has a good amount of microbes already living and thriving down below, for example I mixed a dandelion slurry for about 2 weeks and it smelt...

I would say you just have a very aerated soil mix not particularly organic unless substrates of that 20 to 30 percent soil were already amended with organic amendments (kelp, etc etc), but most likely that soil you were talking about using is probably just some type of sandy, mulchy, and peat...

Thanks for the replies you guys, and just found a source of crab meal as well so: -1/2 cup oyster shell --1/2 cup crab shell meal ---1/2 cup gypsum ----1/4 cup epsoma starter feed with mycos Most recent things I have added to my soil besides Azomite 2-3 cups for rock dust just gotta find...

Thanks brotha been cooking for a while and yeah I figured I would still get the rest of the amenities for the soil when its needed but for now I'm going to keep experimenting, once I use this soil I will try a completely water only grow, with one or two possible teas, and or if i can find some...

Found a source of crab shell meal, so i have fresh oyster shell 1/2 cup, to 1/2 cup crab meal, i also bought some gypsum, and starter mix that I might end up mixing it at a half cup ratio. Do you guys think total of 4 cups of amendments amended is too much. --1/3 SPM --1/3 Wiggle worm EWC...

Thanks you guys and the garden lime I bought was hydrated and fast acting so that is why i was looking for alternative sources, wanted to buy online but shipping costs for some of these weights are outrageous, so i figured if i could find a natural source might as well ya know. Because I had a...

Mortar And Pestle* excuse me lol and I have garden lime I'm just a little skeptical to use it as I am running into problems in my current grow although that could be stemming from a number of hypotheses I have. But yeah it was a bitch and took about 2 hours to get that half cup pulverized and...

Hey RIU, Genghis here just found a place that sells oyster shells, mushrooms compost the works for cheap and by the lbs, so i bought 5 lbs of oyster shells for a dollar and pulverized and powdered them down myself using a mortar and thistle. My question is would this be sufficient for my...

Just out of curiousity, how come you do not want to include yucca extract into your compost pile, or you could always supplement with dandelions and comfrey... Happy growing GK

Hey RIU, Genghis Khan here just wanted to stop by and say hi before my daily conquest to take over DA world, but just wanted to know if you don't stir the concoctions of lets say a dandelion nutrient tea, if you don't stir during the one to two week waiting period at all besides maybe once; --...
