So i have my vermicompost in a wheel barrow. (don't ask) And it has been raining here and i noticed that it had filled up with water. So i drained it off into a bucket, added some molasseses and started air-raiding it. My plants are in week 5 of flowering. Should i use this tea on them? Will it benefit or is it going to be to high in nitrogen? Originally i was just going to put it on my house plants, to which i have a lot.

What you think? Thanks

i dont think it would hurt. maybe dilute it with some water so dont get in trouble. then let us know how much of an improvement you've made. for starters i think the molasses will give the buds a boost i swear it fattens up buds but some people are skeptical

Yeah burnt my first crop on chemical ferts. So switched to organic ferts. Burnt again, so have cut out all ferts except low ratio ferts like kelp, greensand, guano, and mollasses. So i am hoping with the compost tea the plants will only take what they want.

Also i plant on composting the soil when its done for later grows, so this should only help with that process.

Worm castings and molasses are the two best flavor enhancers in my opinion. I don't see any problem adding it at any point during flowering. Will not burn your plants.

The worm manure only has about .1 % soluble N, so that is very low. The Molasses varies between 3-1-2 and 5-1-3, if you add one oz to a gallon of water. Both are real safe to use. Those numbers will not mess up your flowering. I'd use it.

What kind of tea are you thinking about throwin in it? I've never used a fert for my girls as i have been afraid of burning them. I usually leave it up to my soil to do the trick but if tea works i wouldn't mind mixing some in during my feeding.

well its my worm compost. So it has every variety of kitchen waste. It seems to be adding a good boost!
