Do I have to strain? Or can I take table spoons of the stuff and just dump in the water and mix it stirring with some wood or big wooden spoon type?

I don't strain either. I haven't purchased any teabags so I just put all the ingredients, wet and dry, into my 5 gallon bucket right on top of my 6" air stone and brew away, stirring as often as possible. The air stone is getting pretty gross but they are a few bucks at wallmart so I'm not sweating it. When I'm all done I just pour my tea out of my brew bucket and into another bucket that I water from... this grow I've even saved some of the brewed guano from the bottom of the bucket and mixed it in as a top dressing... no complaints yet.

scrub that stone with a brush and hot water, it's stone and should be cleanable. I clean em until they break.
 
I am useing ffof straight up. My mix is alfalfa meal 2-1-1 @1 cup. Maxicrop liquid sea weed @1 cap. Brer rabbit molasses @1tbls. Bubbled 24-36 hrs.

I've been watering straight tea and have noticed it makes the soil thick and I only have to water about once a week. Is this normal for the soil to retain water for a week in a 1.5 gal bucket. If so I am thinking smart pots might work sweet with this mix.

This week was my second tea so I will share my experience when I have some for. Thank for the great thread.

Hi everyone reading, Im a new grower and made my own organic tea recipe (for flowering) but I need some advice on it.

I fill a 55 gallon barrel with hose water and let sit for 24 hours.
the next day I mix together in a tub:
8-10 cups worm castings
2 cups bat guano (High P)
2 cups dry kelp
2 cups fishbone meal
2 cups alfalfa meal
Then about 1/2 cup blackstrap molasses unsulfured
I add any over ripe fruit or veggies and mix all this together.
I then stuff it all into nylon leggings and bubble with airstones for 24 hours, and water plants with it straight the next day.
So far the plants love it, and Im hoping for some monster buds this year. My biggest plant is Silver Haze at about 9 feet tall. Please give me any advice you have, this is my first time growing with organics.
 
I use 1 gal per plant.
Start by using 2 quarts of water
add 1 tsp guano (high N for veg or high P for flower)
add 1 tbsp kelp meal, 1 tbsp unsulphured molasses
finally mix in 1/4 cup earthworm castings or organic soil
stir several times or aerate for 24hrs
then add 2 more quarts of water

make sure you stir well before use and get all the lil bits into your plant
you should have a nice foam on top of mix when ready
spoils after 3 days
 
Here's some ingredients to source and consider.
Insect frass...add at end of brew, great as a bloom stimulator.
Non GMO Soybean meal great for fungal diversity and growth.
if you like GH's ancient forest you should look into bountea Alaskan soil humus, its constancy is way better IMHO, and it always seems fresher.
Greensand is good stuff in a tea helps give fungals a surface to attach to.
Sea-90 is a great micro mineral I add a pinch to one tea once a month.
Hope this info helps somebody! Peace
