FLOWERING TEA<br />
For use from the start of flowering <strong>to</strong> halfway through<br />
1 tablespoon all-natural molasses<br />
20 drops CaMg+ by General <strong>Organics</strong>, or comparable liquid mineral supplement<br />
1 tablespoon dry, all-organic, all-purpose fertilizer (with N-P-K ratios close <strong>to</strong> 5-5-5)<br />
1 tablespoon kelp meal<br />
1 teaspoon dry, high-nitrogen bat or bird guano (with N-P-K ratios close <strong>to</strong> 12-8-2)<br />
1 teaspoon dry, high-phosphorus bat or bird guano (with N-P-K ratios close <strong>to</strong> 0-5-0 or 1-10-<br />
0)<br />
1 teaspoon liquid fish fertilizer (with N-P-K ratios close <strong>to</strong> 5-1-1 or 3-3-0.3)<br />
¼ cup Big Bloom by Fox Farm<br />
BUBBLE THIS FOR 24 HOURS THEN ADD<br />
½–1 cup fresh compost or earthworm castings<br />
BUBBLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 24 HOURS<br />
Strain with a regular strainer, dilute with pure water, and apply, remembering <strong>to</strong> stir it<br />
between plants, so that all the plants get an equal share of the tiny particles of organic matter<br />
that will tend <strong>to</strong> sink fairly quickly in a tea. That’s the golden part of the tea right there,<br />
besides the microbial life. <strong>The</strong> above tea is a 2-day tea, and the castings/compost is added<br />
during the second half of the bubble time, so the liquid can get equalized for greater survival<br />
rates of the life in the castings when it hits the tea solution. A lot of time making teas and<br />
looking at samples through my microscope has led me <strong>to</strong> believe this is the best approach for<br />
enhancing tea life.<br />
