Is compost tea with bat guano fast acting?

[ThaiBliss]

Why even brew a tea when I can get everything I need with a bag of nutes

See my very detailed post above using this link below.

I have never seen plants respond faster or grow bigger on any other type of fertilizer.

I can sum it up, if necessary... feed the soil organisms and the plant will feast.
When medical marijuana is limited by plant counts, one figures out how to grow them big and healthy.

More trick photography, I guess. I'm really short. LMAO! Not even flowering yet.

12 plants in 3 rows filling a 50' x 50' area. This is one of the rows, the longest. Budding has begun.

That's a ten foot tall fence. I used the tea indoors also in a top feed system. This stuff is simple. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

Have fun, and good luck!

Not to hijack the thread but does the following tea look good for feeding on Day 28 of flowering?

2 cups of EWC
1/2 cup of 0-8-0 Bat Guano
2 tbsp of liquid Seaweed (Neptune's Harvest)
5 tbsp of molasses
bubbled for 48 hours in 5 gallons of water

Is the amount of Bat Guano in excess or deficient?

Looks fine to me. I would probably cut back on the molasses next time though. 1-2 TBLS would probably be enough. The amount of guano is fine. Did you just dump it all in the bucket, or is the EWC and guano in a bag? When I made teas I never used a bag. That way it's like a tea and top dress at the same time. Do you have any pics?

I put the EWC into a hairnet because I intended to make a compost tea but then I changed my mind a few hours later and decided to make a flowering tea. So, I dumped the bat guano (BG) directly into the bucket of water and gave it a good stir. I normally put both into the hairnet in the order of EWC on the bottom and BG on top. I do that because the bat guano is so fine that slip out of the mesh of the hairnet.

I don't have a pic of the tea bag or bubbling bucket.

I was meaning a pic of the plants. I use lots of guano. I don't make teas anymore though since it's more work than necessary. EWC tea is great, but I'm too lazy anymore. I just topdress now. Occasionally I'll add some microbes to their water, but I don't think my soil really needs it. I've been using the same soil for like 6 years now. Feel free to hit me up anytime you have questions.

My bad I'll try to remember to take some pics tonight during lights on.

Yeah, teas can be a chore compared to other stuff.

I moved the light closer so there might be some light burn creeping in but this is my healthiest grow yet.

Looking good. I don't know how often you're watering, but if you're doing the organic thing you want to try keeping the soil moist for the microbes. It just looks like those pots are a little dry.
