Kitty,

Plants look very nice...alot better than last time. I know your mix said only 200ppm on the tds pen, but be careful. Organics don't always show up on the pen that well. I have absolutely cooked plants with a massive nitro overdose with tea that read under 500 ppm.

Thanks for the link to the guy having hard times. We're going to try and help him and his mom get on their feet.

it would be SO nice if he's legit and you can help him out (and mom). i know you have a soft spot for moms. :hug:

thanks for the tip about the ppm's.... i'll make sure to be careful with the dosage. we're vegging for another couple weeks anyways so i plan on introducing it as an additive at first anyway.

What collective said is right on ... Organics (ask your nerdy bubbly to cross check) often have Yo LARGE / complex pieces of metabolizing nute/bacteria combo witch can end up in your plant but not show on a tds pen...
That being said for organic my tds or ppm means very little as the chances of lockout or precip) are very low ... Keep in mind that your feeding the soil now building a phat base so then you can plunder it!! Steady as she goes and keep er super simple... Just the Earthworm tea alone is plenty all the chitosan an other stuff is gonna just add to your activity ... As for hyphe they are microscopic at this level so a strained product is nice but I muck it up often with messy teas and just blast them thru my vortex pump;)
Oh and save that pearl casting marine muck and add it to soil or composting stuff if you dare.....

thanks joe!
i'm not sure what brand the ewc i got is.... but it's black as my ace of spades and "100% african night crawler".
went with "sea soil" instead of compost this time around -- there are murmurings in my nute circles about the benefits of introducing marinic microflora into the ecosystem-at-hand (ie the ones we nurse in our basements).
the chitosan and biochar are from one product... i'll also be starting a foliar application of a chitosan additive the week before flip.
alfalfa meal from welcome harvest.

revisiting the fungal hyphe.... if the biochar acts as a substrate, do you think it would be better then, next time, if i put the biochar loose in the tea instead of putting it in the teabag? i know it's not water-soluble, but it's not like i have hydroworks that are going to get mucked up from particulates or anything......

tea is nicely bubbly..... but it's only at 200+ ppm, is this normal?

oh yeah, the contents of the teabag and any unused/borderline teas are going right into the garden..... the dirt needs beefing up out there anyways.
