Best way to introduce a micro-herd?

[BUDDY BOY]

I grabbed some Rainbow MIX cause it is rich in mycrozzhia. I need to reintroduce a micro-herd to just starting to flower gals and was wondering is this ok. And do I just mix this with some water or what. Im lost and was confused when I read the directions and refused to dump some new stuff on my ladies and hurt them.


Help me out folks.

The air we all breathe is FULL of microherd. Why do you think dead animals rot on the side of the road?
The best way to add microheard to liquid nutes is to bubble them.

I was thinking that a little fresh rabbit or guineapig manure would be good with air as you said...

a handfull of trusted rich organic soil?

Just about everything you bubble in a tea will provide a good percentage of micro-organisms.......and from there nature will work its course in multiplying on their own.

Good to see you again B1

How about some Earth Worm Castings! too obvious?

 

[BUDDY BOY]

Guess the only thing too obvious is the sarcasim I am receiving. I have always used organics straight out the bottle. Basically my routine is this. Promix, add some castings and perlite and some mycrozziha out of the mycro super pack, you know the granuals that I have to put in a a tablespoon or so per plant, well of course yall know.... BUT, this time I didnt add none like normal and now want to introduce it as I head into flowering.

So once again, The pack of Rainbow Mix, oh by the way I have NEVER used teas before, and simply dont want to burn the crap outta my plants, so I reached out for some help.

So bubble the rainbow mix in my water?? At what rate? Do I use a sock or anything? Or just dump it in there? Sorry Im not the dry organic guru I should be. I would have read 2 days worth of organic tea information, but I am kinda stretched for time.

Anyone want to help now??? Just re-read this thread, sorry if I took anyones comment outta context.

 

[vonforne]

2 TBS per gallon is a good start....or 1 TBS per gallon and build up from there. Dilute it until it looks like weak tea to start with and then again build from there.

I believe that the Rainbow mix does have castings in it. But do not quote me on that one.

[BUDDY BOY]

Thanks!!!! Do I have to bubble for a specific amount of time??

I been wanting to try teas... Might as well start now.

 

[vonforne]

Brew for at least 24 hours and up to 72 hours adding a TBS of molasses per gallon each day starting with original mixing of the tea.

2 TBS RM
1 TBS molasses

add to one gallon of water.

yea really must have never used a tea before because whoever told you that you will burn the crap out of your plants doesn't know whats up. there are a number of simple teas that any plant will love and not burn your plants. wormcastings and compost teas being on the top of that list. if you go overboard say on the bat guano of course you can burn but if you add too much in the soil guess what? burnt plants either way.

 

[FarmerJoe]

The only thing in a tea you should worry about burning them with would be maybe some guano or something

Pardon but I don't think it was.

Not from me anyway.

IME: High N (12-8-2) SeaBird Guano will burn some strains when foliar fed at recommended strength. YMMV...

 

[Johnny Rotten]

I agree that Seabird Guano is the hottest guano out there. It mixes so damn well with the water and the plants love it. I stopped using it and replaced it with locally acquirable goods. I'm always a bit cautious with using products from salt water living animal deposits. Just think of all the salt spray absorbed by the guano before collection. Salt poisoning is a hard one to call and i've had bad problems with salt in my ground water. I don't know about anyone else that lives by salt water, but my groundwater is loaded with sodium.

I didn't see an sarcasim, because I wasn't looking for it....lol....If you wanna give your microherd a boost, do like the other's suggest and use good wormcasting or organic garden soil....However, you're going into flower and the Micohrizea won't do much good because of the Phos in the flowering mix...They can't live an a Hi-Phos potting mix....So, I would just go with the plain bacteria in the wormcasting and garden soil.....Only about a cup will give it a boost.....Hope this helps....LC
