Super-boost for plants: Grows 2-3 times faster, healthier & more potent.

Quite ingenious, all of this, but frankly, I don't see much more than some plants showing signs of over fertilization.

(Unless the person has a urinary tract infection there are no microbes in urine, but lots of sodium, potassium, nitrogen (urea), and other metabolytes. Do you mean the urine feeds the tea?)

Nitrogen makes cannabis grow like crazy and taste like dog poo and harsh to boot. Not sure how far into flower you will feed this, but it will take lots of flushing to get it all out at this rate.

Not bashing, just pointing out and giving my opinion. You have a lot of great ideas. Myself I would cut back on the tea to once a week at the most.

Dude...Not bashing either but...... Those plants look VERY unhappy..... You are trying too hard.... Its only a weed.

They look perfectly fine to me.

Also I never stated anything above (such as urine) contains microbes, I said it will provide more easy access for microbes (that are already present). This is mainly due to the molasses mentioned. The urine is mainly a good nitrogene source.

All above is in VEGETATIVE state, I do plan to change things one I decide to put them into flowering.

Also regarding how healthy they look, here are some older photos, taken BEFORE i implemented the above mentioned systems. As seen they were cloes to dying and very small even though this was more than one month after sprouting. As soon as the steps above were performed they flourished with life and happyness again. Growing really fast and big and green, getting really back into shape and now I have to trim of large leaves daily as new sprouts out and keeps shadowing over parts I want light on and I have multiple healthy colas / tops. They are all somewhat stressed as techniques as supercropping, LST'ing, topping etc have and is being used.

In either case, here are the "before" photos:

not a weed but one of the first cultivated plants...most if not all of our drug verities would either not survive more than one season outdoors or would revert to ditchweed.

Just an update, photos per today July 14th, 2010.

Note that plants are constantly trimmed off fan leaves so the growth may not seem as profound as it would if i did not trim, but this is done to expose new nodes for light and get new colas. As seen the plants are gettin a bushy look due to this. It may seem like more than one plant per container due to this, but each container got only one plant each.

I don't think it's "ghetto", I think he is very creative and uses what resources he has to their maximum potential. Not everyone has a grow store down the block. My hat is off to him for his clever CO2 techniques. Obviously it does not do as well as a tank would, but it's (almost) free!



Necessary reading for those that wish to continue with the compost teas:
Compost Tea Claims

As for the link to the WSU page, I didn't see anything in there that specifically recommended against the use of compost tea. They were merely cautioning people not to believe it is a "snake oil" of magic plant healing elixer.

you didn't read enough. It specifically stated that given their position they could not recommend non-airiated teas for several reasons mainly because they dont see evidence that it works not to mention the health risks associated with salmonella and such.

I get that urine is natural and can be used as a fertilizer. Ever travel near a leech field???? omg the smell but look at how green all that shit can be. Still it's green shit. Who wants to smoke green shit?

Are you absolutly sure you know what your doing here? I'd be concerned you spalsh too much poo and urine on the plants and then create a bacteria and not realize it.

I suspect that the odds of catching an air borne disease after burning the shit out of something isnt too bad. Better then eating it I suppose but again, who wants to smoke poo smelling smoke? Who am I kidding...you can catch all sorts of airborne shit from burning it cant you???

I too am impressed with your creativity and ingenuity. This isn't exactly like rocket science. Only the suckers discover this hobby and then run out and spend 2k on grow rooms. I'll be the first to raise my hand on having done that.
