When to start compost tea

I've looked and can't find at what week people are starting compost tea.

The plant below is a Future #1, and is an amazing 2 weeks from PLANTING THE SEED in the photo.

TIA boys, happy growing!

In living soil, I only give compost tea every 2 weeks, so I don't keep it brewing 24/7. Btw, you need a STRONG pump to really get the amount of turnover needed to brew good tea, a regular aquarium air pump won't cut it. Here are 3 thinks that will answer a lot of your questions. 1st is microbe man! http://microbeorganics.com/ 2nd, is an alternative to compost tea from leadsled (all his posts are worth reading across several forums) https://www.icmag.com/forum/marijuana-growing/organic-soil/326163-compost-tea-extract?t=327123 and 3rd is a wonderful collection of information and recipes including compost tea info from Scooby, lots of good stuff here: https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/all-organic-recipes-and-notes-compilation.1421024/

Good luck!

Thanks for the info, Ruromo! But how YOUNG would you start? Would you give it to the guy in the picture or is it too soon?

Have you grown without compost tea?

You need to grow normal ass weed first. All these newbs trying to spice things up need to realize their entire thought process came from a barely literate dude bro who grows one specific way for a reason, because he failed at every other way. When the instructor is using compost teas, I know he is not qualified to teach soil.

People need to accept that plants do better without all the extra rituals. If you have to add anything, question the credentials of whoever built your soil. You defeat the whole point trying to turn soil into hippy hydroponics.

LOL my same thought. This guy has no idea I have an 8x8 tent with $2000 worth of HVAC controlling VPD to the .01% of my range, run by software I wrote, with my own organic no til soil of my own design, which is lab tested as perfect.

He doesn't know I've fed compost tea to plants for years with good results.

The only reason I posted this is because I was wondering how early you guys start based on the plant. I normally would not start with a 1 week old plant, but if you see the pic, you'll see why I asked.

This is Future #1 from gelatoseeds.com BTW. I can order from him and get seeds 5 days later.

I've seen your post before. Awesome grow.

Barely literate.

My teacher sent a note home to my parents because I was reading The Two Towers by Tolkien in class.
I was 8.
