Molasses
EWC
Epsom salt
Amber Humic acid
Bat guano 0-5-0 ( this is what is causing minor phosphorus abundance)
One of the pics shows some purple phosphorus burn which had only showed up when I used the tea 3 days ago. I had not been feeding for a while and I started noticing the leaves start to get blotchy yellow at the base of the plants. Then I fed them with tea and I foliar fed them with liquid kelp with a small amount of Epsom salt. 3 days afterr, and the leaf problem intensified. I must have went overboard. I just need to know what I should have went without. I probably shouldn't have used guano since they didn't need the P. I probably shouldn't have foliar fed. Your insight would be appreciated

I used Kelloggs raised bed. It has chicken manure.I believe it is a hot soil.
. I made a 5 gallon batch of tea then diluted it with 10 more gallons. Thats 3 times diluted. The worst thing I did was use ecoscraps compost for my tea which is probably really hot. I should have used just a regular compost as my base. I checked the ppm of my tea and it was at 390. Ppms seemed low. Then I checked pH and it was right at 6.1, without adjusting. I had added the myco just before I checked. I was using pelletized myco. One more thing. I didn't use anything to strain the tea. I just didn't pour the leftover compost into my reservoir.
