So first off is it possible to just feed your plants from start to finish teas and nothing else and get great end results?
And if so anyone care to share their recipes with the class

Hi man, I brew my own with the compost I produce, so not sure if it's going to be of help, but here it goes:
2.5% of my own compost I enclose in a cloth bag, and 0.5% molasses in recovered rain water. Brewed with a small aquarium pump in a 5 L bucket (I know they're not very pro.. but maybe ok for a small container). So that would be 125 grs of compost and 25 mL of molasses. Sometimes I add some 1.5 grs of trichoderma harzianum (funghi that are good for root health and competes with harmful fungal infections). The smell should be earthy and fungal after 24-36 hs brewing. The temps while you brew are important, should be around 20-25C, if higher it can rot easily and your pH will go down pretty quick and it will smell acid and pungent

I never know what stuff my compost really has and what it doesn't! I can tell you it surely has a lot of goodies, I make it out of all the organic garbage, vegetables, cheese, egg shells, coffee, tea, etc. except animal leftovers, plus all the pruning from the garden and orchard, and some wood ashes every now and them, so I know there's plenty of Nitrogen, Carbon, Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium, not very sure about Phosphorus or other oligoelements, but I can tell you the flowering of my orchard is superb, so I'm confident it should have pretty much in it. It takes around 2-3 months to produce nice compost, that I then sieve and cure in a smart pot, where a lot of worms do their work, and after a few more weeks I sieve it again and end up with a very fine humus that goes into the bucket to bubble for a day or so.
Lately I have added horse manure (2.5%) to make a super N+ compost for vegging and on the other hand, volcanic ashes (rich in phosphate, sulphur) plus wood ashes (rich in K) for flowering.
Here are the pictures (those Nespresso bags come handy haha):

The master EOF told me once to forget about pH with organic grows, 'cause the soil usually buffers perfectly, anyway I only check pH of the teas in summer when brewing especially with molasses, all the sugar breakdown can make it hot (acidic).

Not sure with coco my friend

your exactly right,with 100% coco it'll do all kinds of crazy lame things. but add that binding agent and biodiversity.coco will not hold the life and buffering characteristics of a tlo blend of soil and coco.so use atleast a 20-30+% of good soil with that coco.but I like no less than a 35-45% with coco for the rest but a PROPER soil will buffer any ole tea man,including a hot ass guano tea which ill personally NEVER EVER recommend personally.noo need for anything until transition on and every second tea anyways. rice wash water and simple additions between teas will also help you.
 
ok look bro this is crazy easy man,best fuckin buds youll ever smoke once you learn drying and curing.I have YET to find and bud better than mine.im not being biased either cuz Im acitely looking cuz I wanna find who's bud i got.and THATS whom i wanna meet.LOL! but with that said, just go buy a 1 5LB pack from tlosoils.com. 14.99 ..last i saw free shipping was available but unsure but its worth it.suck it up.buy one or two if ya got a cpl buck.PER BATCH or 5LB pack you'll use 30LB's of casting per..so 2 30LB bags of casting. 12 gallons of decent soil as well as coco and 10 gallons of perlite also.AND use a 5 gallon painter bucket to measure.other than the casting.the whole bag.a full fist or basmati rice or enriched white rice and mix really well and wet with a gallon of water (possibly a quart more but) and make sure it passes the squeeze test and I promise you it'll so damned easy you'll wonder where this has been your whole life.FACT!! and then after about a week you'll mix thee entire batch fully scraping the bottom of the tote ,checking the squeeze test again and re moisten ONLY if it needs it. and there it is.another month and a week later..playground smelling soil like when you were a child.it'll come back to you. lmfao!! then its all fun n games from there and the quality ill put against anyones grow.finished cured product in QUICk fashion.they ripen far far faaarr faster.and then put mephisto on top of all that?shheeeiiit man...C'mon thats a no brainer.

so source all those things for what ever it'll cost you and that will make you just shy of 60 total gallons of soil right about.AND use it back to back too. so essentially with autos your getting 120 Gallons cuz it can be used twice..quite nicely.kinds neat n easy eh?
