Currently, I am in the third week of flower and after running a series of soil tests today, my soil is, for the most part, still holding up I am however now in the merely adequate range for K with some 6-7 weeks of flower on this runâŠ
I am interested in hearing if anyone has had much experience producing teas that are mainly N - P - or K? I know that this is against the typical grain but my thinking is that certain things tend to be more N leaning like EWC, which also makes great component in tea so, in theory, the resulting tea could not only be bacteria and nutrient-rich but may even lean N heavy if only made from EWC and a combination of other known N leaning things?
I have read a few threads with mentions here, the KIS Compost Tea Manual, numerous blogs, articles and yawned through youtubies on how to make them and generally get the concept ( I am mostly interested in nutrient teas myself) however no one seems to talks about where these strange brews sit in terms of EC, PH, or NPK which is hard to supplement specific deficiencies as you would in other soilless growing techniques. I tend to think that in nutrient-rich soil the reaction with and the accumulation of nutrients already in the soil can easily land you in trouble. In some instances for me the Shotgun Effect isnât what I am after but still want to do so through a liquid and organic medium without the hydro mart costs of pre-packaged teas and bio-nutrients.
Does anyone have any ideas, thoughts, knowledge to bestow?!? I know I have seen some folks with some pretty serious brewers on here wondering if everyone is going the shotgun approach or can we make teas for every occasion and target our needs more?
