Tea on the Cheap!

[Primalraindrop]

I was thinking the other day. When i started growing i spent a ton of money trying to buy my way to excellence. After running out of money i learned some creative ways of feeding my plants on the cheap. When i first even thought about making teas for my plants i thought BIG container High costs how am i gonna do all this.

Its pretty easy peasy and cheap

List of items needed
Air pump and line (walmart $15 or less)
5 gallon bucket ($5 ace or wherever)
cloth strainer thinger (nylon sock) $2

Dry nutrients ( how to down below**) price is different everywhere.
half cup Worm castings
half cup kelp meal
half cup crab meal
half cup phosphorus bat guano
half cup nitrogen bat guano
Teaspoon Molases
**from a grow store or online place like eureka springs in colorado.

The air pump in the picture i bought from a grow shop to run multiple 5 gallon pales at a time. or whatever. But you can manage with just a small air pump from walmart. BUT if you have a smaller air pump you must be warned go light on the molasses. It can cause your tea to go anerobic. if there is too much food and not enough o2

(What im saying is don't spill it)

This is what i have been using. It has been working great with the organic dry nutes i mix in the dirt before planting.

I welcome all questions and comments

Thanks for taking a peek!

Great recipe. I like to add gently boiled banana peel, egg shell and used coffee grounds strained/poured to brew adds a nice kick to base tea dry mixes.

What's most important is the worm castings, the molasses, and oxygen. Those are the three main parts. Everything beyond that is just custom to your plants needs. The mix above is for my mothers when they are done to be transferred into flower. I give them this tea. Seems to really be bringing out the colors!
