Super Soil Compost Tea?

hey guys, ive had some super soil baking for about 2 months now. I was thinking about which ingredients i want to use in my tea, then it dawned on me, SUPER SOIL! I could just put it in a sock and bubble it up for a day and voila, a gormet meal right? Or do you think I should just top dress?? I bet it would be a pretty strong tea.

I just set up the 400(mh) tonight, In a week i'll be transplanting into 3 gallon containers. A week after that i'll be flipping the lights. I just ran out of fox farm ocean forest and have a bag of roots,My question is: Is the shock going to be 'too' much considering im flipping them a week after??.. I'll be using a tea with ewc and mycorizzae after the transplant (WAY BETTER THAN SUPERTHRIVE) in my opinon.

Anyway, any input is greatly appreciated.

STAY HIGH!

I wunt to try.

It's a great way to really kickstart things while running short. Aerated or not. A little anaerobia can't hurt.

Ive never worked with the strains im currently working with. One of them being a sativa dom (Space Queen) and it being my first time using this mix im highly cautious of how much soil to actually put at the bottom of the pot, especially for the space queen. So i figured i'd do 1/3 on all of them and if they start to show deficiency i'll just brew up a SS tea.

but I was wondering if anyone could answer my question regarding all the changes my plants have been and are going through in the next couple of weeks. Yesterday, I went from a 125 watt cfl (7000 lumens) to a 400 watt Metal halide. On tuesday, all three plants will be transplanted into 3 gallon pots. A week after i'll flip the lights.
Solid Plan anybody?


BumpBumpBumpity bump =D

I would at least do 5 gallon pots.

Obviously you arent following the original plan with the 7 gallon pots etc... but you should plan on some more veg time than that before flipping, the plant needs a well built root system to pop out plump well built buds, a week isnt enough time after a transplant, it is in reality if you really are in a rush but I doubt you'll get the results your looking for.

I usually go 1 < 3 < 5 gallon wise. I dont go up to 7 because i dont have that kind of money. But trust me, my root systems are very well established. The bubba has roots coming out of the bottom drainage holes and the other two are looking like they need a transplant. The only reason im in such a rush is because i have certain deadlines to meet. AKA, im moving soon

the larger pot also adds more nutrition duration, allowing the flowers to really push the last couple of weeks. when I ran 5 gallon smart pots, the plants did great and yielded 2-3 oz's. Now i use 10 gallon smart pots and yield 4-8 depending on strain. I veg the same amount of time as before, I would recommend bigger pots for a better yield.

I do like 5 gallons for strait coco runs though, but thats a completely different ball game.


cheers

Intensive how long do you veg for I was planning on using 10 gallon pots but was unsure if 4 week veg would be okay thats probably the max I can push it

You can give your super soil a microbial boost by brewing with microbe reproduction in mind. Brew for about 36 hours, dilute and apply as a soil drench. I add this to the water the super soil is cooking in. 1 liter covers 5000 sq ft as a soil drench so a small but well aerated tea is the way to go. Good luck!

1 liter clean water
25ml fresh EWC
5ml molasses
2ml kelp meal
1ml fish hydrolysate.

7 gallon is good for 4 - 5 weeks veg, 10 gallon is good for 6-7 weeks veg ( 1/2 pounders)
