    I think a few of the more elite growers on here use it or have used it. I got 2 free samples with my NFT tanks i bought earlier in the year thought it were 2 bags of brown or m cat cause it smelt dodgy as fuck so i binned it then realised what it was

    I used it for one run and made tea to get more out of it. It worked ok but the price was a bit hard to swallow. I'm a true believer in using benies but the tea was just a real pain in the ass lol. I used an opaque container fyi. I now use micro lift pl and just add it straight to the top of the root mass (top feed). Its relatively cheap as its a very small amount, 5-10 ml, each time. Although Jesse says its not needed, and he's right! I feel it does have a symbiotic relationship with the root zone. I have no proof, and no side by comparisons, so I may be full of crap and it may be just wishful thinking lol.

    Hi Jerry,

    Light proofing your tea bucket is not nessicary.

    Great white is perfect, along with a cup or two of ewc and a tspoon of molasses. The key to brewing a diverse tea is air and temps. You need the tea brewing at room temperature with a big ass airpump. It can be used after 24hrs but I am heistant, mainly as the mollasses is not fully consumed.

    Any ewc tea questions fire away, I have a lot of experience in brewing tea, I have read deep into the science in what is a complex and truly amazing subject.
    All the best, Gander
