  1. I wonder if the barrel was made of glass, that it would produce a better product. All barrels are plastic or wood. The barrel heats up in the sun, potentially leaching plastic into the water, into the soil and into the bud. It’s probably not possible but maybe idk

  2. I've poured sour/rancid compost teas on my plants and gotten decent results.
    I think it's important to keep in mind that "Bad" bacteria is a term that is subjective to human life.
    We call anaerobic bacteria "Bad" because they are known to correlate with infections in oxygen breathing human beings.
    What are those "Bad" bacteria doing to us? They're decomposing us. They're breaking down our nitrogenous proteins for their consumption.
    The question is, why are "Bad" or Anaerobic bacteria bad for soil? Or are they just bad for us in our bodies?
    I tend to think it's the ladder. A lot of old school growers used to say "Stink in, Stink out." As in, the stinkier your amendments, the better your buds.
    So…. Are we just gonna all assume our noses are accurate tools. Or are we going to buy a microscope and study what is good/bad for the soil.
    For this reason, I personally avoid compost teas until I am capable of doing just that.

  3. Worm castings a staple in every batch of tea I make make along with mushroom compost and seaweed for the nitrogen it's pretty basic but it works wonders for me, Casey was mentioning the yes-or-no factor over a period I was using too much seaweed kelp for my nitrogen for too long of a period and I noticed my stems getting a little rubbery so I backed off but when you give it the right amount my stems on all my plants from now on have been absolutely strong and hold big so like he said yes and no yes have to watch for how long of a. Of time you use your seaweed kelp but don't get me wrong kelp is a great source of nitrogen
