Is it store bought worm castings or homemade? Fresh wormcastings and black strap are the main ingredients. If you got store bought worm castings its hard to know how much biologic life there is still left. Iirc correct people would use around a handfull of worm casting and just tea spoons of the other stuff. My guess is that buildasoil web may have some instructions, have you used the search function here on the forum?

Best bubbler you can make is using airlift vortex method but it may meed a stronger pump. It gives the highest o2 levels...

I bought the ewc,ive bought the brand a few times and it seems good,i can always buy some humic acid if its not good right?
I bought the pump from amazon...it says 5l per minute...it came with 2 air stones...i do have another air pump somewhere,im sure its a lot bigger....
Heres a pic of my flower bed and the air pump and the ewc

Teas are not for microbes lol. They are for soluble nutes that irrigation rinses out.

I'd recommend going out to a local forest, or large naitive tree close by and grab a handful of humus under the canopy. It needs to be a place where decomposing leaves are thick. Throw it in the tea. This will give you the best micro organisms and fungi for your location. Some trees are better than others because some trees make chemicals that fight the growth of other plants. For instance, oak trees or walnut trees wouldn't work well. Remember to apply at the start of the dark cycle so micro organisms can migrate into the soil to avoid harmful light.

Compost tea brews are the best fertilizer I have ever used, by far. I was able to double the size of my plants when I started using compost tea and a thick layer of mulch. Of course, this was outdoors.

Best of luck.

It wont introduce any bugs to my soil?

Better use beneficial bacteries like Bactrex product or simmilar,forest will give you not just beneficials but also
ones that can ruin your grow.

I have a bunch of organic goodies...

Are you indoors? Then compost tea isn't safe.

 

[yahooman]

Im indoors,but i introduce nothing from outdoors,i buy all my ammendments from an indoor grow shop so no worries at all

 

[yahooman]

Got the enviornment pretty tuned in now,plants are filling in nicely,i actually had to cut some of the taller ones down a bit,did some fimming,gotta fill in that scrog net!i want it full.did a small feed with kelp as well

 

[aCBD]

there is sea of green, screen of green and now you're coming with a ship of green the plants look healthy, happy growing

 

[yahooman]

The tote is great cause i can move it,i turn it a third every few days,keeps the canopy more even,i will be adding a screen,but not till stretch is at least half over

 

[yahooman]

This is only my second scrog so if anyone has any suggestions fire away

since you already cut and did some fimmimg, throw the net in and train them some more

If you take worm castings, mix with water and feed as a solution / slurry you will be providing microbes as well as microbe produced nutrients. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Of course this depends on the quality of the castings.

Mix castings and kelp into a gallon jug and feed to plants. The compost tea part can happen in the pots. Same goes for top dressing worm castings. It makes its way into the medium and will start breaking things down just like raw amendments will break down in the soil, becoming available slowly.

If you want an immediate boost try sprouting some corn and or mung berries and make a sprouted tea with them.

Edit; not exactly sure on how much to add but a few TBS of each input per gallon should be good.

 

[yahooman]
