How long would this keep in the refrigerator and be usable as a nutrient tea?
1/2 cup alfalfameal per gallon with a teaspoon of black strap molasses per gallon; 1/2 tablespoon/gallon ordinary kelpmeal if you have it.
Run the unit for 24 hours; strain, especially if applying to foliage. If applying to foliage we usually dilute with non-chlorinated water 1:1.
If applying to young seedlings dilute 2 parts water: 1 part tea.
Include vermicompost only if doing soil/media drench and not if spraying foliage. (1/2 cup per gallon)
Haven't tested the oil, maybe I'll do that on my next round of testing but here's the neem seed meal (cake).Does neem oil kill the bacteria/fungi microbes, when i was growing in coco i sometimes used 20mil in a 10ish litre bucket in late veg/early flower and it kept fungus gnats down and had no negative effects on my plants, i'm wondering if it will be okay for organic methods.
Cheers guys

MM a clarification, Propionic acid is an organic acid, calcium propionate is an preservative used in baking industry. Can we use this for foliar application to supply Ca and control fungal pathogens ?
i would like to ask experts what they think about this "kind of tea" in organic grow :
30 ml of Ascophyllum Nodosum powder,
12 ml extract Ecklonia Maxima,
30 ml of BORLANDA FLUIDA (i dunno how to translate but it is a residual of fermented and distilled Beet Molasses...here the composition of it : N total 3%, N organic 3%, K2O water soluble 6%, C bio 10%)
20 ml of plain unchlorine water added one time per day, each day for 6 days
stiring at least one time per day
after 6 days mixed with 6 liter of plain unchlorine water to feed the plant.
what u think about it ?

It sounds interesting and smelly but that is about all I can add for you. As a kelp tea it will likely provide some nutrients. It is not something I've done.
comparing with other recipes found here it seems an half way of fermented tea and anaerobic tea (but maybe i am wrong)
it is made for flowering by a lonely wolf that live around my mountains, he said that sometimes wait for 12 days...but really i dunno if it works...he does not like to answer too many questions.
how do it works in ur opinion ? (even if i know it is hard to have a clear idea about it) and what is it this "thing"?
anyway thx for your words.
p.s. i bought a copy of ur e-book Teaming with microbes...and i am "eating" it...i love it but now i want to buy a good microscope to understand more...soon or later i will do!!
No shit huh? Your mr.lowenfels friend and you enjoy cannabis..........warms my heart!
