I have another couple question, do I need to wait for any length of time between mixing tea in the water with Trans or GE?
and how long do I wait after spraying leaf wash to spay brix? Thanks

I have seen Doc say you can let the tea brew about 5 minutes if you want, then add your drench. But he also said it did not make much difference.
He also told someone recently (@weenmeoff I think) if your using brix and Leaf wash to alternate them during your regularly scheduled foliars .
Morning everyone!
I may be mistaken, but I believe Doc has said once buds start to form, do not use the Leaf Wash, It has oils in it.
I have read the wait 5 mins thing with the tea, to let it "bloom", but I never do it. Maybe I will on Groot!

I did not spay budded plants just the teenagers before being moved into the flower room.

Perfect! Just didn’t want anyone to get confused and start alternating the two in flower. Sorry if I sounded like an ass... not my intention. Hope you have a great day!
EDIT: and on the waiting period I’m not sure, I know the leaf wash is also a foliar fertilizer so you’d probably wanna wait the 8 days or so. I think it’s De-Stress that you can spray 3 days after Brix and Brix 3 days after De-stress... but I may be wrong. @Doc Bud can hopefully come in and correct me.
Leaf Wash has 3 or more horticultural oils in it, along with acidified fish hydrolysate. I definitely DO NOT recommend using it once there's trichomes.
I use it in veg and hose the plants down the day of transplant, and then a few days afterwards, prior to any pistils forming.
As for Tea.....if you're wanting to really conserve it, let it bloom in warm water for a few minutes before adding it to the drench. I rarely do this.....

Yup I remember the 5 min thing, what I have been doing is while mixing up the "SINISTER SAUCE" I
Place my air stone in the bucket of H2O add the TEA then add what ever product I am using.
I Start at lights on after adding ingredients to H2O I fill my HUMIDIFIERS, check plants and then turn
on the SELF watering timer cycled Aquarium Water pump, 1 hr later remove hose and back to waiting
I always warm up water to let my tea bloom in while doing things. From what I had read when I started doing this a couple of years ago my understanding was that we wanted to do this all the time. If that is not the case I will happily stop doing it since it is just an added step.
I’m sure it probably has some benefits, I always use warm water... and always put Tea in first. But it only has about 30-60 seconds before I squirt the Drench in there. Doubt that’s enough time to reap any benefits from letting it bloom. But I am not unhappy with my results... still seems to work well! Hope you’re having a great day Yeti!

Far enough
I have one of those water dispenser things... has the hot and cold water. I use 1qt hot water from there to 3qts room temp. Comes out to about 87 degrees. Plants seem to love it, got the idea from the man himself, Doc Bud.
