Yeah man, this is some of the strongest stuff I've seen. The exact one I grew is BC Seed Kings Feminized White Widow. Just be careful about mold because this stuff grows DENSE under a 1k! That's how I lost a large portion of that last grow.sounds fun, I think I am going to get some going for a 1000W run myselfthanks for reminding me
Oh, I thought you meant a white widow grow lol
I agree. Heisenberg tea is amazing. If you have rot/slime, it cures it. If you don't already, you'll prevent it. The tea will also give you explosive root growth and we all know that the root mass is directly associated with your yield (all other factors being the same). Check out and read through the entire thread by Heisenberg. I truly believe that even if you decided to keep your res sterile (no beneficial microorganisms) the thread will just open your eyes and mind to things ya never thought took place.
So do you have to dump your res every 3 days as well? And the only thing is it seems it would actually be a waste for me. I only need 20 gallons of nutes, and the ratio means I would only need like 1/4 gallon of Heisenberg's, so I'd never use up a full batch before it went bad.
Hey dude. No you don't change the res with every application. You just refresh the beneficials diversity every few days. The more diverse your microherd the better off you're. It's been tested and proven that the tea brews best when done with about 2gal of water. Whether you use it all or just a quarter and dump the rest you are still saving a lot anyway. Brewing it (rather than buying a bennies product) ensures that you have a very diverse population of microorganisms that are activated (hence the 48h brewing) and multiplied. In other words by brewing your tea for the 48 h you train those micros to be a powerful swat team that has multiplied in numbers and is ready to attack!
So based on this formula, I should double all the measurements?
Alright....first you tell me what bennies products you already have (aqua shield, zho, mycogrow, great white, rot stop, etc) and I'll tell you what to do best and cheapest! If you don't have any, I recommend you purchase ancient forest and mycogrow (or great white though that's a bit more expensive). Honestly I have great white AND ancient forest. But when I don't have an infection, I just brew great white (1/2 scoop) with a table spoon molasses in 1-2gal for 48 hours. Water temp being in low 70s. If you have an infection, the ancient forest will make your tea even more diverse which makes it even better at fighting the infection. For just maintenance and healthy roots, mycogrow (or great white) alone with molasses is sufficient.
I have Mycogro soluble, and some Earth worm castings, but I'd have to go look to see the brand. They're like 6 months old, but I assume they're still good?
Okay so after some research I decided that I'm gonna brew up some EWC tea. Would I add that to my nutes in my seed tray, or would I use the tea AS my nutes for now?
Alright then to brew this is all that you'll need. 2 gal tap, tablespoon molasses and a handful of ewc in a sock and 5ml of mycogrow. Brew for 48 h and add that to your res in addition to whatever you're giving them (which I assume at this stage it's just straight pHed water). You always have to give them molasses when brewing so they can eat and multiply. A biofilm may form on your airstone in the brewing bucket and this is fine don't worry about it as long as your tea smells earthy and not like a dirty sock or gym or BO. In fact, ya may want to replace the airstone in your res with this biofilm-covered airstone.
Yeah I have duct clamps but the problem is the bend is too extreme. I'm afraid it would severely reduce my airflow. So I tried the ducting elbow but it doesn't fit. And using regular aluminum duct would work but that stuff has tons of holes in it.
