You'd have to make very strong tea in order to go all organic. Generally speaking the tea, like earth worm casting tea, doesnt provide much nutrition and you don't know exactly what is or isn't in there. It also takes the plants more energy to break down the nutrients in order to use them making for less than ideal growth.

I'd stick with nutrient salts and I'd make sure I used the sterile hydro method and avoid putting ANYTHING living in my reservoir or you are sure to have major root issues if you don't keep your reservoir temps below 68F-ish. Hope that helps.
So you recommend sticking to chems and not using beneficial bacteria?
