hi guys thanks for looking right if i bought organic nettle tea ment for drinking but instead of drinking used as a foliar spray would this be benificial or not really.
I'd say list ingredients unless there are any harmful preservatives then I would say go for it unless you can source fresh nettles always better my friend. Happy growing GK
yeah but dont you have to leave them like 20days in water to break down and then it smells i dont have acess to a garden and i dont want it smelling too mich of rotting plant matter the stuff i found id 100% organic
hey man, It should be ok imo, Your nettle tea will most likely contain the NPK but I doubt it will contain the secondary metabolite as this is only possible with "Quick Soak teas". I use an organic bottled liquid seaweed for trace elements because I have to. try out your tea see what happens at a weak rate. Then go cut some fresh nettles from a lane w/e [roll a couple up get blazed as you go], tear them up [wearing gloves] pop them in a 2 Litre container, fill with water, screw the lid on loosely, Leave it outside ( I have made FPE in 40F). Not very smelly or messy. You wont look back. when your at that you may as well make rice water EM. these will probably be the two best things you can do. Note FPE = Fermented plant extract. EM= Effective Microbes HTH Marijuana time.
10:1 or 1:5, like orange squash. Don't be too particular http://www.hawaiihealingtree.org/?p=163 that was the method I used
litrally just found that method so i just add that to the nettles to and leave it a.month to do its thing
I don't know what Bio silicone is sorry I made them separate, you would have to make the EM first then add the to the FPE, I don't think it would work all in 1 tub. So to recap make EM Gather FPE ingredients + water + Finished activated EM, put into tub, wait it out (this method theoretically reduces the smell) Or Make FPE then + Finished Activated EM and apply Hope that makes sense
yup makes sense cheers how long roughly should i wait some things i saw said wait for ph to get to 3/4
yup ph below 3 or 4 cant quite remember which I go by the smell and how much the plant mater has broken, it will turn into a mushy slime & eventually into nothing I've found have fun!

Save all that waste for the compost heap, you want fresh cut material or a dried powder like the AACT fellas use, Thus limiting the potential for something bad to happen
a Demijon? I used one of them before yes, with a stick to act as a plug, just make sure a little gas can escape the container
