I have kelp + worm castings + liquid fish fertilizer.
Can’t find an exact recipe online.

My ladies are 7 weeks old and are lacking nitro. They need a good feed. small plants.

Any idea how much of each ingredient I should mix together to add in and brew the tea?

Your better off not brewing IMO. Fish is readily water soluble already. The casts can be made into an immediate for use extract. And kelp just soak it overnight to extract as much soluble npk and cytokines. Top dress the casts and kelp afterwards. A good reference is a pound by weight of material to 5 gallons water.
I used to make AACTs but when I learned unless I have a microscope to know when the aerobic microbes are at their peak, Im just extracting the NPK and blindly introducing aerobes and anaerobes and a ratio of bacteria to yeast to pseudomonas to etc that might not be optimal-nor detrimental. The compost or casts extract method, you know your getting immediate npk in solution and the correct ratio of aerobic microbes for soil.

I want to confirm, you're suggesting I don't do anything with the worm casting and just soak the kelp over night then mix the 2 and top dress?

My bottle of fish come into play as well? Just top dress this too?

I usually massage it in rather than top dress.
