T-6 hours til tea time. I'm excited to see how they react.

A FAQ would be an excellent idea
I did it... everybody in veg and half of the girls in flower got tea tonight, some more than others... veg girls got well foliared as well.
Do you guys feed aact all the way to harvest or is there a point you cut off at? I think you can go all the way to harvest right?
I added some more air stones into my 5 gallon yesterday... my tea today is breathing... froth slowly wells up then collapses over and over like it's breathing.
Plants are loving the tea... and I'm loving the fact that I haven't had to check pH recentlyJust finished trimming the first plant from this harvest... it only got one drink of the aact tea before it had to get cut down... excited to see what a full round using AACT will produce... in veg 3 or 4 of my larger plants have outgrown their 3 gallon pots and already need to move up to bigger pots with a week or two veg still to go... debating whether to put'em into 5 gallons now and transplant'em 3 weeks into flower or just stick'em straight into an 8 gallon...

Reef, I'd go right in to those 8 gallon pots. Maybe leave a little room at the top for an ewc top-dress and a nice mulch. I think you'd be further ahead of the game this way and avoid one more transplant that could cause the plant to tap the brakes for a few days.
I'd like to know kelp/alfalfa ratios people use for teas and recipes. I personally like to foliar with each, and occasional soil drench.
for soil drench 1/4 cup of each for 5 gal Sometimes add aloe vera and/or epsom salt.
For foliar I would aerate for a day, 1/8 cup per gal of kelp meal. I never really use alfalfa in a foliar. I try to be sparing with it.
I'm a big believer in up potting. I like to continually get that fresh oxygenated water or tea in there often. I've also transplanted the day of switch, right after switch, after stretch, weeks before, and don't visually notice a diff. I also like to drop some goods in the hole, and give a good tea refreshment.

You can always just top dress when you see deficiencies...better yet before. I top dress fish bone and potash after stretch. I have a hot mix going now that I hope will make it through. I'll just use CT when transplanting and mulch to keep top moist.I hate taking the time to up pot... but a couple flowers back I tossed 2 SMALL clones I didn't really have room for into flower in 1.5 gallon pots... they ran out of nutes completely between week 2 and 3 of flower, so I uppotted them at that point to 3g with a bunch of amended soil... suckers took off and yielded a bit over and a bit under 1.5z... so it does seem adding fresh fuel right after the stretch provides a big bump. Maybe no bigger than if they'd just been put in big pots before flower thoughit seems to me they always run out of juice around week 5 or 6 when I up pot before flower... these went all the way on water transplanting at week 3. Definitely something I want to expiriment more with in the future when I have clones from the same plant to compare like that time.
