Worm castings in living soil

I feel like my girls (at 5-6 weeks old) need a little extra help so I’ve decided to add worm castings along with Gaia 4-4-4.
Should I make a tea or just add to the top layer of soil?

I would just top. Are you 5 to 6 from soil or are youn2 to 6 weeks in veg ?

Are your plants showing signs of a nitrogen deficiency? Worm castings are a source for nitrogen and the 4-4-4 has this :love_you_gesture:

Worm castings will be a great, gentle and organic additive to living soil!

They’re 5-7 weeks from sproated out of soil. Right on, thx

Just in that I’m used to seeing just a tiny bit of tip burn with my previous grows, I just switched soil and fertilizer from EarthDust/Promix to Gaia/Sohum. Same technique but since ED went outta business I’m starting over :pray:

Yea but I’ve been prone to lack of nutrient burn plus cal/mag deficiency. Just lookin for a mild boost in this case

Sucks that Earth Dust went out of business. I was looking forward to using their stuff. Unfortunately i wasnt able to jump on that train till it was too late. I found some stuff called Elm Dirt that i am trying out with this run of sunset sherbert. So far so good. Theyll get their first taste of Bloom Juice tomorrow evening before i leave for work for a few days.

That would be the one. Every time I read ‘worm castings’ that’s what comes to mind.

That deserves 2 hearts :heart::heart:

Dont worry @ChittyChittyBangin worm castings are great. It was the way that guy had a natural ability to condescend and talk down to everyone trying to help him. The the whole thread. The worm castings was the final straw or punch line.

I’d just top dress with it. It’s good stuff.

Try Backyard bloom. Highway dust.

Oh my! Just realized I only used 1Tbsp/plant instead of 1Tbsp/gal of soil of fertilizer per instructions on Gaia. Made the adjustments 4 days ago and BAM! Now I’m cooking with Crisco!
Though it probably was the extra worm castings I through in the day before :rofl::joy:
