Hello,
I have been using organic for a while and while looking at these forums, I noticed a basically non-existent post for Organic Teas.
This is my dry and powdered mixture, I am using:
Blood meal......................................12-0-0 ($0.75 per pound)
Fossilized Seabird Guano w/ calcium.....0-11-0 ($0.75 per pound)
Bone Meal.......................................1-12-0 ($0.50 per pound)
Archipelago Bat Guano.......................0-7-0 ($0.75 per pound)
Soluble Seaweed powder....................1-0-18 ($7.00 per pound)
Pot-Ash..........................................0-0-50 ($0.10 per pound)
*Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom salt) ($0.25 per pound)
*Molasses (0-0-3) ($0.75 per pound)
*Humic acid ($2.00 per pound)
*Azomite ($1.00 per pound)
*Rainbow Light organic multivitamin (for human consumption)
*I use tap water with a PPM of about 100 and pH of 7.3.
*Organic Earth Juice pH Down - Used to shift from 7.6 (with nutes), to 6.8 pH
This is the fun part. The soluble seaweed gives a mixing rate of 1-tsp per gallon to reach the correct dosage at the 1-0-18 ratio. The weight of 1-tsp of SSP is about 3.5 grams. Assuming we are turning these organic mixtures into a close to "fully water soluble" condition, we can assume the same mixing rates for everything as long as it is properly weighed. Interestingly enough, all of my fertilizers weigh nearly the same. This is my mixture for 10-6-8 general vegetative growth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pre-mix:
In 55 gallons of water:
50-tsp Blood Meal
15-tsp Archipelago bat guano
5-tsp Foss.Seabird guano w/ calcium
10-tsp Bone Meal
15-tsp Soluble Seaweed Powder
2-tsp of Potash
20-tsp of Humic acid
2-tsp of Molasses
5-tsp of Azomite
10-tsp of Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom salt)
5-Multivitamins (Rainbow Light organic)
5-Amino Acid vitamins (GNC brand - human consumption)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions:
#1 Weigh, measure, and mix your organic solution into a mason jar or large cup. -Able to hold 32 ounces at least- Store it for later steps.
#2 Wash and rinse the new 55 gallon drum. You don`t want that 'newly processed' smell in the drum. I purchased one of these large drums from a grow shop at the rate of $20USD.
#3 Add a submersible pump and place it on the bottom of the drum so it is pumping the water toward the surface, a powerful pump for $20 should do it.
#4 Add the air stones, I use a large air-cooled pump w/6 outlet manifold opened to 6 - 12" inch airstones. You must add air and high water flow to dissolve the organics and make them more portable in water.
#5 Add the pre-mixed jar full of organic nutrients into a sock or cheese cloth and tie closed. Add it to your 55-gallon water drum like a big tea-bag.
#6 Fill the 55 gallon drum with good water. Tap is fine as long as it is less than 200ppm-250ppm. I like to spray the pre-mix at the bottom of the drum with a high powered lawn-hose faucet, while I am filling the drum with water. Make sure you can visibly see the 'pressure bubble' from the pump forcing water from the bottom of the drum to the surface of the water.
#7 Wait 24-hours for the nutes to dissolve.
#8 Look for the extremely large bubbles in the 55-gallon drum, Large bubbles means your tea is mixed, highly mobile in water, and ready to use. My bubbles are the size of a volley ball but foamy.
#9 Stir up the bubbles from the top of your organic tea mixed in the 55-gallon drum and pull out 2-5 gallons at a time into a handy bucket. pH correct it, I go from about 7.6pH to 6.8 and use immediately.
#10 ..see how much your plants love you, even in 100f temperatures.
Here is a picture of the "Tea". It is not 100% water soluble but it is damn close and SUPER portable in water/medium but most importantly, it is 100% organic and does not taste like fish. (not that I`ve personally drank any - regarding the fish comment) lol..
I`m not sure how the blood meal tastes on the human palette but plants go ape-shit over it! Your finished product should look like this..
PS, don't buy the chemical fertilizer junk from the grow shops if you dont feel you need to. Its just mass produced crap that some idiot wants to bottle and sell to some other idiot with money to burn. Stay close to natural ingredients, your plants will reward you. I have been using the this method for years and I RE-USE soil. (Because its not poisoned by grow-shop chemical concentrates.). The yields are insane..
[edit] if you want, brew the bloodmeal separately and enough to use for 2-3 days. Bloodmeal is what causes a slight smell of necrosis.
I don`t want to post pics of what this produces for me, but i will in about a month. very large.
