Veg mix
1 gallon of tepid water
In a sock or panty hose put 1 TBS Supertea (5-5-1).
And 1 TSP kelp (dry) or one cap full liquid.
Do you have any compost--worm castings or mushroom of some sort? This will provide additional benefical bacteria to your soil structure.
If you do add 1 TBS to your tea bag.
Brew in a gallon container with an air pump. You don't need an air stone. Brew for 24 to 48 hours until a light foam gathers at the top of the container. This foam allows you to know that the benefical bacteria are growing.
Dilute to 1/4 to 1/2 with tepid water and water your plants as usual. In doing this you are adding micro-organisms to your soil food web.
For a bloom mix just replace the Supertea with the Budswel (0-7-0).
You can make your teas very diverse. Just watch your plants and they will let you know what they want.
These ferts you are using are top shelf. you should have no problems. But do watch the Supertea, it contains Seabird guano and we all know that Bird guano will burm our plants.

Sounds good. I have never used Topmax...what is it?
hi dudes,i like too the TOP MAX,its a great stimulator bio,his N-P-K are soo light (0.1-0.01-0.1)but he have alots of micro/macro ELEMENTs: Fe,Mn,Zn,i reccomend to use it with his brother in law :BIO-BLOOM with his N-P-K different than the T.MAX he have 2.0-6.0-3.5 and some Ammonium nitrogen and Nitrate,with his good P the Bio-Bloom working soo good with some Guano in the SOIL,but be carreful to not esagerate,for me that cocktail TOP-MAX+BIO-BLOOM+GUANO is the perfect way for a good bloom,and incredible final taste,have a good time dudes,good time.

i have heard that it takes a long time for plants to absorb nutrients from the dry stuff. many peeps that i know recommend the liquid budswel over the dr. also another great guano out in the market imo is from the organa line . a little goes a long way
If you combine any form of guano to a tea or a soil with a healthy microherd it will be made available relatively quickly, add a little molasses to the guano tea and it should jumpstart things nicely.
Some guanos have higher release rates than others, that's something to consider.
Nice soil mix, how are you liking th michorizal products, so far I'm sold on them, I use the Mike brand.

you thinking just mixing it with water than watering does anything. thats what i been doin. i dont let it brew anymore. i used to but now i just say wtf. I knwo that it would extract more nutrients why letting ti steep, but there is plenty of water in the soil mix for them to breakdown. right?...
Hello all,
I brew in a one gallon jug:
2 tbs ewc/compost
2 tbs bat guano (3-10-1)
2 tbs dry molasses (1-0-3)
12cc/gal liquid kelp (0-0-4.5)
1/2 tsn Erom salts.
I will use this tea full strenght for my grls in an organic chicken shit soil. My teas always finish brewing at a pH of 8.5 so I add apple cider vinager for pH adjustment
and the micros.
When I think my girls need more ferts I suppliment the teas with Alaska fish emulsion and Earth Juice Bloom in varying amounts depending on growoth stage. This brings the pH down as well. I aim for a pH of 6.0 -6.5. I have D.lime and the humates buffer the soil.
So, this is what I do and have no real problems in the 18 months I have been using teas.
Your milage may vary.
Good luck.
