Greetings All!
Long time lurker. Started DWC growing about 5 years back. Absolutely love it. I'm pretty sure I even stumbled upon this thread in my research when looking into the dreaded Pythium...
Welp, after running into what looks to be Pythium (browning/sliming of the roots, abnormal left growth, stunted growth) for the last time, I've finally pulled the trigger. Wasn't able to source the exact ingredients, but this is what I've settled with:
- BlueSky Organics Myco Grow
- Botanicare HydroGuard
- Mother Earth "Sugar Load" Heavy Brix Molasses ~Unsulfured~
- Gro4 Earth Worm Castings
And this is the recipe:
- 2 Gal Filtered Water (HydroLogic SmallBoy w/ upgraded Catalytic Carbon Filter)
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp Myco Grow
- 10 to 15ml Hydroguard
- 2 Handfuls EWC (placed into a compost tea bag)
- 1 tbsp Molasses (mixed in with some hot water to dissolve first)
Bag hangs on the side with an air pump directly underneath it, and another air pump closer to the center of the bucket.
Brewed for 48 hours, and added one cup total onto the base of the plant, and another 2 cups directly into the bucket.
3 days after, I added a total of 1 cup to the bucket.
The rest is history.
I have nothing but thanks and praise to Sir Heisenberg and all those who've helped along the way. Thank you all so very much. I will pass along this knowledge to fellow growers and hope that someday we can all move towards organic growing
I'm on another grow site, and have mentioned my success due to this Tea.
Hit me up if you have any questions. I live in Toronto, Canada, and we just recently legalized!!!
Cheers!
