You don't need to get rid of algae in living soil. Hydro is a different story.
Mycorrhiza Fungi...why you should get to know them...

I don't think adding h2o2 is a good idea :/
It kill all microbes and fungi...
In my tea was consortium of Glomus - maybe from that is that algea

actually algae in the soil is just as bad as algae in the hydro it does the same thing. and adding 52o2 yes cleanses the mcrobes but if youre using compst tease and bacteriums anyways you dont have to worry about that at all. caues youre replenishing them anyways and if youre not using any molasses in youre water mix youre microbes arent being fed and probably arent eve there. especially indoors. gotta be feeding something sugarry,

I'm using molasses 
My microbes get food every 48h

you can also uses dried molasses and mix it into the soil. make for a better area for them to hang onto and graze. same with hay. mix some hay into the soil and it will help feed them as well. but anyways cleanses the soild of all bacteriums and fungi is a good way make sure youre diversity is equal in the microbe life.

Still don't know how I can get rid of algae, while it is resident in my tea :/
When I clean everything in my soil and add AAcT algae will shows again

I'm in weeks 4-5 of flowering.
Should I clean now? I think not, but what do you think?

you can it literally does nothing bad besides release micro oxygen bubbles into the soil and thats it. and roots love oxygen. plus clean the roots and the soil then you just put em back thru the teas. now as for the algae in the tea. sterilize everything are you using air stones in youre tea at all? how long do you brew youre tea for?

are you saying those bubbles are the algae? cause thats normal, as to how to get rid of the bubble throw in some kelp. or throw in some yucca the yucca is a water surfactant tha makes water wetter and so it will preven the bubbles from forming.

Good point.
But what if the algae show again after I brew new tea, I don't know where from that alga is.
Everything is clean, the only thing that's coming to my head is worm casting...
I brew my teas sometimes 2-4 days, sometimes about a week.
Feeding microbes every 48h with molasses and sometimes fish hydrolysate
I'm ordering a microscope next week, so will watch them out
Ahh NO of course the foam are good
not necessary shown in every tea.We talking about green algae on top of.my pots

fromm what i have read it could be wrong now but the bubbles are bad caseu it doesnt allow the water to fully oxydize case the air stones isnt what puts the air intho the water its the rippling of the surface of the water that does that. and if the surface is blocked by bubbles and isnt getting enough oxygen could mean that only bad stuff will brew. and if its reoccuring something isnt cleaned. and is somehow gettig contaminated by algae.

Brilliant! Next time will remove the foam partly.
Can I ask for checking my recipe?
Don't really know is every microbe can live together...
RO water 10-15 gal
2 bags with ewc hanging partly underwater
Trichoderma *
Mycorrhizae *
Bacillus consortium
Glomus consortium
Root excelurator *
From what I read in this topic; Trichoderma and mycorrhizae sometimes fighting each other - is this true ?
And root excelurator are the anaerobic bacterias?? It can be used ?

trichoderma i try to stay away from adding due to the fact it can also eat all the other fungis and bacteriums now the mycho i dont add cause it only works whenit is physically touching the roots so i use a granular mykos. in fact i dont add any bacterium specifically to my teas. for exampl i use 1cup of ewc in a panty hose with cup of outdoor forest soil(for the diversity of bacteria and fungi) then the yucca and one cup of molasses. splash in a few doses of liquid seaweed as well
so im saying i dont add any fungi or bacteriums at all. i just let it do its own thing

Interesting.
Will try that - I'm living close to the forest
But the “pantyhose” part - I've read that the pantyhose got too small holes, and air from the pump, doesn't penetrate bag with ewc good
I bought some curtains, with some differently sized “holes” so air can easily goes through
I'm hanging bags above the main source of airbubbles in my brewer

the panty hose stretch when you add the stuff inthe panty hose and you can tie it off but the sure weight plus when it become water logged. also some people use cheese cloth and panty hose is more breathable then cheese cloth.Interesting.
