instead of tossing the stem etc.could ya make tea for the next grow.for a soil grower that is.like you do with bloodmeal and the sort.seems like theres gotta be something in there?!

bgetting

there may be a few residual goodies in there, but for the most part the stem is wood, which requires either a fungus or cellulase to digest, and then the goodies in the cells would come out. I know one thing for sure... it can't hurt. Let us know how it worked for you.

but it'll have wait.stuffs only three inches.i wish i had a male to simmer down....hope da boss upstairs didnt hear that or i might have alotta tea and no weed..bgetting,could you break that fungus,cella..thing down alittle so i can understand alittle better.what would be the best way to extract it

GanjaKitty

i don't think there is anything to extract, i think wat he was saying is that the stem is wood, nothing much to extract.... although ur right it wouldn't hurt, but where would yah get the fungus at... not the pet store, thats for damn sure.

mkay don't get caught kids

i think my bullfrog mouth is out leapin' my tadpole ass.i need a couple grows before i start xpermentin but if i get a male then ill brew it.use on one or two plants and see if there is any noticable difference.maybe some kind of "designer" compost would be a better solution?!i just cant see tossing the waste.'specially sunleafs and males.i already put stems i had into my bm tea but dont think theres nuff to really do anathang tho...

If you are looking for a designer tea recipe, I have this one, which isn't so designer, but it works:
Into a brewer (which is a sealed bucket with an airstone in it) put:
compost (whatever you want, orange peels, organic stuff, poop, whatever)
algae (for micronutrients)
molasses or a sugar source (to support the fungus and bacteria in the tea)

Put all the goodies in there, and if you can keep the temperature up around 85, that is ideal, otherwise as high as you can. Turn on the airstone and let it bubble for a few days, then strain it. You can add all kinds of stuff, too, like bone meal, fish emulsion, just make sure to have some compost to provide the fungi and bacteria. Good luck.

i like that,thanks a key!! okay time to clean my two side by side 55s.i have a compost pile outside.hate disturb the thing though(looks like a little snow covered volcano)...you mean compost or do you mean fresh stuff?and gotta 3 1/2gal plastic bucket that the top 'screws' on.pump,hose,got evrathang.now thats what i call "TITS!!" (nothing more beautiful than a lovely set of mammary glands.)thanks again!if you try brewin' a male or something would ya keep me posted.you can tell any differences way better than i at this point in time but im definatly going to use it in the "brewer".i just love that.gonna use it for garden too...sorry for babbling...

bgetting

right on...

You can mess with the tea recipe, sky's the limit. The important thing is that you have a carbon source (sugar) a nitrogen source (compost) and a source of bacteria and fungi (compost). Go nuts and find thee best recipe. I would bet Organic already has one.

cue

lets take it up a notch! ha ....anything going on with carbonated water?
