1st CFL grow 8ladies'

I don't know what they do to make commercial compost tea last longer. I am assuming they put in some sort of preservative but that is just a guess. I was putting mine in a 10 gallon rubbermaid tub. I would make a layer on the bottom of the tub of about 2-3 inches of compost, sprinkle on a couple of tablespoons of guano and a few tablespoons of sucunat. Then I'd add about 3 gallons of water and run an air pump to mix it. This would usually stay good for about 48 hours. Now I make a half pitcher at a time. I make a 2-3 inch layer at the bottom of the pitcher sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of guano and sucunat and fill it halfway. This is about a quart. I make it about 12 hours before I plan to use it. It starts to smell much sooner than the larger amount. Usually within 24-36 hours. I haven't researched why this is. I think it has something to do with the micro organisms in the tea using up all the available food in the mix. Then when they start to die off it begins to smell. This is just my best guess though. I'm sure someone on this sight knows exactly why this stuff has such a short shelf life.

Wow good insight bro, was thinking of just making the luquid without using compost/dirt in there just water and put kitchen scraps in cheesecloth while that's sitting in water tub and mix sone guano or bonemeal

You could make it with the guano or bonemeal by itself. Wouldn't need time to extract. I'd probably give it 30 minutes with the air pump just to make sure it's really well dissolved. I don't think the scraps would work all that well. You can get a big bag of compost at Lowe's though.

O yea composted soil right

I just use composted cow manure, but they have others there. It seems to be working well for me, but I don't have anything to compare it with to know if I'm getting good results.

hey blower, i tried to send you this message, but your mailbox is full. but here you go.

Will a computer fan 173cfs from radioshack and ducting tubes one side connected to hps an other leading to outside fresh air. Work as to relieve the heat in room?

Click to expand...

yeah, that should help out a lot. it would be better if you had ducting pulling fresh air into the light cooltube (or whatever your light is in), and then your fan and ducting pushing/pulling the heat out of the tube. so basically you want your hps totally seperated from the rest of your grow cab by ducting and cooltubes enclosures. here is a link also. i dont recommend buying this, its $800.00!! but if you are innovative, you may be able to use what you see on this site to build your own. they use little peltier devices that only cost 4-20 bucks on ebay and amazon and what not.

yeah, i just seen your hood. it looks like you can buy an adapter for each side that allows you to hook ducting up to each side. one side would pull air in from outside the tent, the other side would push the hot air from the light out of the tent. hope that all makes sense. attics suck, but maybe you can find a solar powered roof vent for your attic to help cool your attic off. the attic being cooler would in fact cool down your grow space.

Thanks gBall. , well thing is attic does suck! Lol. My room is lot a tent it's some little walls surroundig grow, with white garbage bag plastics on two sides of canopy as to not let in any bugs/spiders. Should I remove another side so that fans can blow out air more?
Might have to get a bathroom fan or comp fan splice it and connect one ducting to hps other end too window
