I agree with you actually, for the most part.
That information won't do most people good is what I should have said. Even if I was growing hydroponically, I don't think I would need that information to get by. All I'm saying is it isn't necessary if you're not a super advanced hydro grower, growing is simple enough, hydro just needs better attention and math skills.
Sadly I don't do DWC though, some people would call me lazy for not wanting to learn it, others would think it's overrated, personal choice.
Now that you mention it though, I'm gonna do some window shopping for bags of nutrients in raw form to possibly make my own tea like some people on here do.
Seems like I'm going to have an extremely long read tomorrow.
.you wont be disappointed... once mastered, the compost tea is literally a breeze, its merely a waiting period for the brew. you can go "all out" and get microscopes to monitor bacterial and fungal growth progress/maximum fertility. But you really don't need to. A simple good eye and trained nose to your tea you will reap flavor on a new level on the strains you have experience and "lock down" on lol...But seriously your brix levels will be noticeably higher than what you have been used to and you certainly can continue feeding whatever your personal choice of base nutrients and additives... but just keep in mind high phosphorus levels in your feeds will stunt and kill some of the fungi and will need to be "re-introduced" to the soil. You could set yourself up in a situation where you can raise your clones organically and tea based feedings. Once your plant(s) get bigger and bigger and while transplanting, continue to inoculate your soil. when it does come time to send them into bloom, feedings of certain bloom or pk boosters will have a more profound effect on the nutrient delivery in the root zone itself because of the well pre established colony of bacterium. Thus, bigger flowers and more of them. Even tho I do use some "non organic" feeding materials, I use them wisely and continue my teas every week because that is the foundation of my flavors and aromas as well as curing consistency and burning qualities.
