Show us your Tea heads (Foam)

[Eyes on Fire]

if your using a liquid tea a shorter brew is best imo. the more heavier materials(IE: guano,EWC,composts and the like) you use ,the more you'll need to bubble/agitate or brew the tea upwards of 36+ hours.

Okay that makes sense! What's some good liquid teas that you would recommend?

cuppa tea
16 hours into brew. The foaming I believe is due to yucca, as it started to foam up pretty quickly upon agitation.
571 gph pump I think?

The Bu's Tea Bags seem to be pretty good so far. One run with them, trying another right now.
Besides some good ewc I like to add kelp, alfalfa, neem, crab meal, fish hydrolysate/bone meal, sometimes recharge. What to brew depends on the goal of the tea. Nutrients? Feed microbes/soil life? IPM? Foliar?

@NeblaNuggets I believe brewed teas main aim is to feed the soil microbes which turns the nutrients in the soil to a more user friendly plant food , Enzyme teas for the plant give more hormone and growth and flower promotants to the plant .

Furious Bubbles!

hey fellas!! yeah Hecno bro, from the churning of the water and bubble size in the pics and all.looks to me like it'll be fine for a good while now. larger bubbles and churning is the key. the more thats in the bag,the more it need to be knocked about and churned up a few hours. Nice deal.

ALSO, i wanted to touch on the brew the smell out of your tras. what He is tsalking about is NOT a full tea but a partial EWC and molasses tea. lotsa of casting and mole of ASSSSS... LOL! but thats with most brews the smell morphs in a few hours. and this will too. but when you have these two items the smells are bitter sweet like molasses and the EWC gives an earthjy smell. what will happen is it'll brew down to an almosr mildly earthy sweetness almost like a rounded tea sweetness of earth. thats all hes sayimg. NOT to brew your teas till all the smell changes or foams or changes. but for a simple tea with lots of materials in it,you need to brew it out. that tell you. I slightly touched on tjhis in one of my videos.

Here's my Tea setup... been running nicely for about 5 years now. Those are dress socks filled with bat guano floating about in there. When the h20 begins to dip too low I refill with rainwater, from one of my barrels.
