Well, you know me. I have to be doing something with these plants. So hard to just take pictures, and wait. For those that know me, you know I have to do something... So, I decided to brew a compost tea! I have been doing a fair amount of research on true organic growing and from everything I have read, a good compost tea can only help the soil, and therefore the plants will respond accordingly.
I am brewing up a batch with TeaLab's compost, alfalfa meal, fish powder, high nitrogen bat guano, earthworm castings, with a little kelp meal and humid acid added in after brew. I put all in my new brew bag with pump and aerator going, and let it go for 24-36 hours.

This is some pungent stuff with the fish and various types of shit! Lol! However, they say the smell will dissipate as everything mixes during brewing. If the plants respond to the enriched soil like they say, it will all be worth it.
I will dilute 50/50 and use as root drench, as if I was giving them a regular watering. I will also use as foliar spray with a bit more dilution. I understand spraying the leaves helps with disease control and general leaf health. All good stuff, as far as I am concerned. I will let you know how the plants respond in a couple days.
Here are the before pictures. I will share some pics a couple days after feeding the pots with the tea enhanced water.

I will update in a few days. I will give the tea a chance to work its magic.
Happy growing ya'll!
