Some friends are in from out of town and I think they brought some of that lol
A note to all mixing their own soils...let it cook for 2-3weeks depending on how strong you made it because I seen a guy the year mix it all up and tried planting a few days later and temps were reaching 120-140*F from organisms breaking matter down. Also alphalfa and cotton seed meals will super heat your soil so careful with how much you mix of those or top dressing with those.
Also for those that don't have hydro stores close by or are too sketch to go into hydro stores look for Espoma products. Its organic and offered at many hardware stores, nurseries and green house centers. They have a complete line of amendments and microbial/fungi boosters out there that are quality!
For beginners looking to go organic but dont want to be over whelmed on their first grow look into pre-mixed organic nutes for roses. Roses are a closer match to Cannabis nute requirements than tomatoes. -

I'd be interested. I have a collection of information I've obtained that I could throw up.
Mainly from a user named LumperDawgz, but it is a collective of many users and articles. -

AACT & Nutrient Teas
I've been brewing AACT as well as nutrient teas and applying them for almost 5 years. I've used these teas both for container plants as well as in strict organic raised beds. Our operation is certified organic by both the state and federal agencies that are involved in organic food production - including export which is stricter yet, i.e. no bovine derived fertilizers (blood and bone meal), fish emulsion, cottonseed meal, et al.
My main source of information comes from Tim W. at MicrobeOrganics.com and Tad Hussey at Keep It Simple Compost Tea. Both are designers and builders of aerated compost brewers - up to and including 2,000 gallon brewers.
They both helped me design a couple of large brewers - one was 500 gallons and the other was a 1000 gallon system. Both are skid-mounted for easy (somewhat) removal from the flat-bed trucks that I use for applying on vineyards, orchards, etc.
I use a Meiji microscope with a video/DSLR mount that can be connected to either a laptop computer or an HDTV screen to monitor specific microbe levels to assure a proper application.
Currently I'm using pyrophyllite clay powder (at 0.06%) to stimulate more bacteria/archaea diversity which seems to experimentally contribute to disease control - according to the experts. My own testing is incomplete as I changed the basic tea component recipe because I changed the source of both the thermal compost as well as the EWC. We'll see.
Greetings and salutations!

Foam is no indicator of anything in an AACT brew at all.
If you want foam, simply add 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal and you'll have all the foam that you want. It doesn't mean that there are any viable microbe colonies other than the protozoa explosion directly related to the alfalfa.
Thanks for sharing!

anyway I could get an invite to this party?
My first grow will be using FF Ocean Forest and Happy Frog with International house of Guano Kit.
With an option of possibly using a fish tank for a watering source. -
