I am a bit confused on how to make good organic teas. I grow hydro in rockwool but would like to start making teas I can possibly add to my res.
If a tea is only meant for dirt thats ok I would like to experiment with it a bit, mabey top feed my hydro plants every so often or just use on my dirt plants.
this is where i am confused, I have a box of bat guano and it says to steep for 1 hour. Do i cook it on my stove or do i put it in a bucket with an air stone and let it aerate a while.
I know it would be a good idea to mabey add some molasses.
I am really just looking for some recopies.

i have some GH flora blend and GH floralicious plus.
would it be a good idea to put:
florablend
floralicious plus
bat guano
black strap molasses
in a 5 gal bucket with an airstone and let it bubble for 24 hours.
am i on the right track?
organic growers please help, i am a hydro guy wanna be organic guy?
i will give rep points for recepies and how you do it.
thanks!!!!

Compost Tea Myths... (http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/~linda%20chalker-scott/Horticultural%20Myths_files/Myths/magazine%20pdfs/CompostTea.pdf) I'd pay very close attention to the danger warnings in this post and ask yourself if it's worth the risk to you and your family.

just a side note:
I never spray anything on my plants and do not intend too.
Except Neem Oil during veg and stretch.
