As an outdoor grower my first thought is you growing in an apartment; how many plants? Five gallons of a diluted AACT brew will cover an acre in commercial applications. I dilute my four gallons by 10X as I also use it for decorative plant and lawn purposes. How much AACT do you need?
It...
Don't forget to divide your air pump cfm by number of gallons being brewed.
ie: a .7cfm air pump being used in a five gallon bucket with four gallons of brew would be .7 / 4 = .175cfm per gallon. I wouldn't consider that adequate aeration when .4 cfm/gallon is considered minimum. More air...
No glue, disassembled in the brew bucket after brewing with a 10% bleach 90% water solution for 24 hours. As you probably know, many bacteria merely hibernate unless destroyed. Especially the anaerobic ones that create bad odors. A successful AACT should smell like fresh earth.
My air pump...
For those interested in brewing AACT teas, here's some good info:
The ideal amount of air for personal brewing is .4 cubic foot per minute (cfm) of air per gallon of solution. Most air pumps are rated in liters per minute (lpm). The conversion from lpm to cfm is one lpm = .035314667 cfm...
