It's a strain I call PokerFace, but it's a pre-release version of Reeferman's Cherry Bomb he gifted to a few of us. He never told us the eventual name, but the characteristics are close enough, and his release of the strain immediatelly after...I'm sure it's his Cherry Bomb. (but now...Poker Cherry?)

Glad to hear your success with the tea's. I prefer a little more control, and less cost/complication/chance for error. Plus, since I found out about the pathogen thing and strong potential to over or under use, my mind was set. Not worth the further attempts. Believe it or not, I do still like to try new things if benefits seem warranted or biologically feasable. Not just because homey at the growstore told me it's benefits. Regardless, I stopped using the tea's before I came across the article.

I found it a bitch to troubleshoot when so much had gone into the mix. The more I tried to normalize my grow by eliminating one at a time, the more I realized the additives, ammendments and teas were, at the very least, responsible for the problems. Been near a year now since I even tried.

I've stuck with the FF trio, with a molasses kicker starting half way through flower. I use the Big bloom at half-strength, with a 1 tsp:gallon molasses once a week. No SuperThrive, no CalMag or CalMag Plus, no teas, no foliar feeding. Once a month flushes, on the first of every month for everything in late-growth and flower stages. Releases salts and built-up crap. I've seen the beginning stages of salt build-up, but that was years ago when first starting to use the trio.

I know compost teas can be a benefit, and they have their place. But they are not a panacea, can easily be defecient in micro's, and some brews can be anything but uniform. Knwo what you are adding and why. Contrary to popular marketing, there's no such thing as making a superplant from a bottle of snake oil. In my growroom, superplants come from experience.
