1. the only tea you need to water your soil with when you mix it is AACT. EWC and/or compost and/or ancient forest (any single or combination of them no more than 2 cups needed for 4 gal of tea) + Unsulfured BSM (have seen rates from 1tbsp to 4gal of water up to 1/3cup to 4 gal of water). bubble that in a 5gal bucket with weighted air stones (or in a tea brewer which i do not have any experience with) for 24-48 hours. you should see a nice foam, and you can get a burlap sack to keep the compost material in or just strain the tea at the end, or don't strain if you have worms in your pots, they'd probably love the tea slop!
2. DO NOT USE THE BOTTLES ON YOUR VEGGIE GARDEN. just like you cannabis, your veggie garden performs best with a living soil!!!! So compost, natural slow release forms of food, AACT. I learned the hard way the last couple years and my garden was raped and pillaged by insects, disease, and deficiencies. honestly, if you can't dump them down the drain (after all that's what you pay the city to do for sewer), just pass them along to a friend lol.
3. yes auto drips are ok to add to the pots if you can dial them in. I'm going to run the maxi blumats in the 4 20gal no tills i have mixed up. 2 are ready to plant, and 2 just got mixed yesterday (my biochar challenge!). i need to order a few more maxis. I'm gonna run 2 in each 20 gal. maybe three, i don't know yet.
I had been using nylon stockings lol, here's the very first tea recipe i was given shulby.....
t 3 the tea recipe you requested
You can use queen size knee high nylon stockings for tea bags. 3 pair for a dollar at the dollar store. Tell 'em you use them for paint strainers. Put the recommended tea in the stocking, tie a loop knot in it and hang it in your tea bucket. The tea should look like a mud puddle. Agitate the bag in the water vigorously. An aquarium pump and air stone will dissolve oxygen into the solution and keep the good bacteria (microherd) alive and thriving. Let it bubble a day or two before you use it. If you find you are making too much tea and having tRECIPE #3 (My favorite)

. One thing that helps with my vertical grows is when I train them to a screen. I am going to line the tent with plastic fencing so I can utilize all the surface area. In my other grow area I am going to be running 2000w in a 4x8. I love the product it produces. I am also thinking about setting up a 3x3 screen with a 600w above it. As you can see I love running a combination of different grow styles. Haha
