How do I use these fermented plant extracts?

I had some EM-1 mixed up and didn't know what to do with it, so I made a bunch of ferments with all the dry amendments I had laying around.

Now I have bottles of fermented Neem, Frass, Alfalfa and Kelp.

What's the best way to use this stuff? Some kind of 1 at a time, optimal schedule to take advantage of Bio Stimulants? Or just mixing everything together for the NPK, watering it in once a week, and just let the plant take care of the triacontanol and chitosan itself?
 
I copied a Dutch fertilizer called "Amplify" and mixed Alfalfa, Frass and Citric Acid, then sprayed it on as a foliar. I got a nice Praying Leaves "phototropic" response like I do with frass in teas, so I'll say it works.

It was convenient just to mix the ready-to-go ferments right in the sprayer without having to brew buckets of alfalfa or frass for hours ahead of time. Also, no clean up! Dumping left over sludge and cleaning the slime layer off buckets after making teas can be a drag.

Next up, fermented neem mixed with fish hydrolysate as a foliar. I expect the leaves to turn really green. I'd love to see some praying leaves, but I haven't messed with neem enough to know if it does that.
 
It's been a few weeks, and I'm into flowering now. Like normal, it took about 17 days to get some buds. So there was no super-natural reaction to the alfalfa or frass.

That said, the plants look good and the ferments are working just like any other "tea" or "fertilizer."

I'm going to use neem, alfalfa and kelp extract during the first part of flower. Then drop the neem to lower the N towards the middle. After that, the last couple weeks, I'll see how hungry the plants look and go from there.
