I make my teas from any veggies you have as leftover from cooking, what I do is google for food + nutrition facts, then you can put whatever your plant is missing, for example, bananas have Potassium 358 mg, that's good for flowering. I usually use potato peels (good for rooting as they have lots of colagen and starch which is sugar for the microorganisms in soil), brocolli (LOTS of micronutrients and nutrients really used by cannabis), and carrot peels. And then you can give them the remains to your composting worms, they're going to love as that's already tender and will help getting better and more compost in the long run.

Buffering Hi, I ended up not buffering the COCO as I wasn't aware before I prepared it. I hope the plants survive and be healthy. I bought a Kit with everything but ended up having to buy some more nutrients, I don't know how ignored the buffering phase. Has anyone done the same?

Can I combine treatments into one?My question is pretty simple. I wanted to give my plants a light foliar treatment and also wanted to include some neem oil. Is it OK to mix the two together or should I do it separately? I'm sure it's likely fine to mix them, but didn't want to take a chance. Thanks for helping!

Low EC in Runoff If the EC levels of the runoff are consistently lower than what I'm putting in, do I need to raise the EC levels? I've read that this means my plants are feeding well and can do with more, but I wanted to make sure first. Thanks.
