[greensgimme]

I made some by soaking a tea bag of guano in water no im wondering if it might be too strong its about the color of ice tea. Can anyone tell me how strong to make my guano tea and if I can add nutes to it?

I wouldnt roll with that if you want to get tea for your plants your going to have to get a brewer kit from Cutting Edge Solutions. Its called Hum Tea... I use it, stuff works great super organic and easy on the plants. My local supplier brews his from the Cutting Edge starter. If you dont know what your doing with it dont do it. Bat guano isnt used in most teas its usually worm castings, molasses and other goodies.

Sure about that...? I can think of one just off the top of my head...

FoxFarm Big Bloom Tea

I know the foxfarm stuff uses the batguano, and I know Ill get some flak from everybody on this site but Im really not all that into fox farm anymore! My local guy started to supply the Cutting Edge Solutions and Im hooked. My plants are dialed and look much better than the Fox Farm Big Grow ever did for me. Its organic and Cali made! Everyone has their preference, Cutting Edge is mine.

Cool. However...I'm not sure any of us give a crap what you're into, unless you show some results. Lots of members make claims, but those that show proof are generally more trusted. Fox Farms is a cheap, easy to use product that has fantastic results. I'm real glad you're satisfied making a tea. But before jumping-in over your head with this discussion, perhaps you could read and understand the article in this link: Compost tea: Examining the science behind the claims Get back to me when you're done. :thumbsup:

Glad to hear it. You're comparing apples to oranges, but please, by all means...describe how your plants are "better", and if possible, post some pix. I'm definatelly interested in your imput. Note...Big Bloom is a catalyst formulated to compliment the other two products in the FF line, with a proven track record. Your's is nothing but a claim of usefulness.

Wow nevermind Ill keep my own shit to myself, now I remember why I stay away from this forum! Im trying to bring a different aspect in not to get bashed by someone. Not everyone uses the same stuff and especially not everyone uses FoxFarm on this forum thats a fact Ill just keep my opinions and tips to myself instead of trying to share my knowledge

[mrbigair600]

And furthermore Im not some dumb uneducated newbie to this stuff, yes I am new to this forum but not to cultivating. I dont know if you even bothered to go to the Cutting Edge Solutions website to check out what Im bringing to the table. My claims are on the thread "MY FIRST BIG GROW, PEEP" That I just posted last night. I havent used their humtea more than 3 times on this crop but I can tell week to week when I ween then from my regular nutes to the humtea there is more of a gain in height and bushiness. Obviously your a FoxFarm freak and thats what you like, good for you. Im talking about different stuff because everyone wets their willy on FoxFarm. I like the Cutting Edge humtea because it has a fair ammount of molasses in it. I love using molasses as a nute because it has a TON of trace elements, along with glucose and sucrose which is a catalyst for photosynthesis(Molasses, Unsulphured - Ingredients Descriptions and Photos: An All Creatures American International Vegetarian Vegan Recipe - cruelty free, gourmet, recipes, lifestyle, food, appetizer, appetizers, beverage, beverages, bread, breads, roll, rolls, ca). You cant argue that with me look at the table and tell me none of that is useful in growing! Just bringing a different light to the table and yes I read that COMPOST TEA article theres a big difference between the two. Hell I even have used straight up FISH TANK WATER after PH balancing with excellent results because of the microbes in the water and fish crap(nitrogen) help stimulate plant growth

Heres my proof. The taller, lankier plant is a Black Domina seed that we STRICTLY used Fox Farm product on, Big Grow for veg and Big Bloom for flower in a small confined closet grow with a 250W hydrofarm HPS system. The bigger, bushier plant which is a Mazar Sharif clone we started with using PH balanced fish tank water with addition of molasses, then switched to the Cutting Edge Solutions in a open grow room under a 600watt HPS system that was a 2 feet above the plant. My Mazar Sharif is over two feet tall and two feed wide. The Black Domina finished at 2.5 feet tall and only 1 foot wide Proof is in the pictures man, dont bash me.

You are the one that came in here saying your tea is the bomb, and your plants are better, blah, blah, blah.
I'm saying I can grow the same with Fox Farms, without getting my panties all in a wad over a 'miracle tea', or an overpriced "advanced" system. Ya see...some of us can grow pharmaceutical cannabis without spending (wasting) our money on the promise of bigger, badder buds. Tiz a real tough system called "Keeping it Simple". It works, and it works well.

So what did ya think of the article, or did you even bother to read some useful and accurate information authored by a well-credentialed horticulturist...?

Sorry, mine aren't as stretched as yours, but here's a couple of my insignificant Fox Farms buds in 5 and 7 gallon pots: The picture on the left is 6.5 weeks in flower with 2 weeks left, the other (a couple of re-vegged ladies) is 2 weeks in. The last is a trichome shot.

So tell us again how your's is the bomb, and FF isn't...

[mrbigair600]

Im not saying its the bomb and my plants are better than everyones, like I said the shit works. Its not my own brewed tea its a pre-mix from Cutting Edge(you still prolly havent looked at their site yet) I dont believe this shit is a miracle in anyways its an ALTERNATIVE to other programs companies offer. Im in no way at all wasting my money Im on a budget over here the tea is a cheap alternative. In no way am I trying to re-invent the wheel either Im using a simple coco/pearlite mix which is very cheap and only using one 1000watt HPS light. The article was talking more about the compost tea than a Hum Tea, even though they are similar they are different. Im not trying to use the tea as a disease prevention or as my main nutes, just as a supplement. You think that I waste money? I used FREE FISH TANK WATER for my initial veg and I prefer that over hum tea. My plants arent stretched, the lanky black domina was a project of my friends and I at his house, I had no control over it stretching. So your going to sit there and tell me my two foot Mazar is stretchy? Okay guy Im done here obviously your not open to discussion just dissing. Your buds look good of FF nutes, Im not going to sit here and argue with you Ill shoot you a picture of my Mazar after 6.5 weeks of flower on Cutting Edge just for $hits and giggles.
