Natural Tea Brewers: Boosting Nutrient Uptake for Cannabis Plants
Do you have a tea brewer/bubbler for your cannabis plant garden? Personally, I'm hooked!
Organic cannabis growers like me are increasingly turning to natural tea brewers to create nutrient-rich solutions for their plants. These brewers, often made from food-grade materials like stainless steel or BPA-free plastic, allow cultivators to steep organic matter and create potent, living teas that enhance plant health and yield.
Benefits of Natural Tea Brewers
Natural tea brewers offer several advantages over synthetic fertilizers for cannabis cultivation:
1. Enhanced nutrient uptake: Brewed teas contain beneficial microorganisms that improve soil health and increase nutrient availability.
2. Pest and disease resistance: The diverse microbial life in organic teas strengthens plants' natural defenses.
3. Improved flavor and aroma: Many growers report enhanced terpene profiles in plants fed with organic teas.
4. Sustainable practice: Using organic materials reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers and supports eco-friendly cultivation.
Choosing the Right Ingredients
Successful cannabis tea brewing relies on selecting high-quality organic inputs:
- Worm castings: Rich in beneficial bacteria and nutrients
- Kelp meal: Provides trace minerals and growth hormones
- Alfalfa meal: Offers natural triacontanol, a plant growth stimulant
- Molasses: Feeds beneficial microbes and adds minerals
Growers should experiment with ratios to find the optimal blend for their specific cannabis strains and growing conditions.
Brewing Process
To create nutrient-rich tea for cannabis plants:
1. Fill the brewer with dechlorinated water
2. Add organic materials in a permeable bag
3. Use an air pump to oxygenate the mixture
4. Brew for 24-48 hours, stirring occasionally
5. Strain and dilute before application
Regular use of brewed teas can significantly improve cannabis plant health, leading to more robust growth and potentially higher yields. I know this for a fact because I saved my lemon tree from impending death with this natural brewed tea and also, my garden girls are looking fabulous this year!
