Does anyone have experience using botanicares pure blend compost tea as a foliar spray? I have read that compost tea makes an excellent foliar spray. However their veg and bloom nutrients say on the bottle "can also be used as a foliar spray" whereas the compost tea bottle does not say this. First post and new grower so thanks alot for your help!

Well look at what's in it. I wouldn't. The kelp is fine for foliar but guano and fish meal isn't something I would spray on my plants. It's probably great for soil but you can make the same stuff yourself for a fraction of the cost. https://www.rollitup.org/t/compost-tea-recipe.964330/

Botanicaire Pure blend tea
Ingredients: Seabird guano, earthworm castings, fish meal and kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum).

Contains Non-Plant Food Ingredient:
0.01% Humic acid derived from leonardite.

Thanks for the response. I wouldn't want fish meal and bird crap on my flowering plants. But is there a issue with spraying these ingredients on a vegging plant?
Also, I'm growing three northern lights autoflowers indoors in a 2x4 tent so i would like to avoid the hassle of making my own.
