Just water and if you let the soil dry a litlle it will slow down the microbes and a tea will boost it if its not already max out !
Nice healthy plant !

Yo, Swed…. The drying out of the soil a bit helped.
And Reap, but still been keepin’ that top layer moist.
Curiosity killed the cat though, and I did feed them a 25% strength alfalfa sprout tea late this week; but they LOVED IT.
Now I’m addressing my flower top dress plan:
I know I need ample PK in the topdress; but am uneducated on how quickly to cut nitrogen out.
I will state my plan below for feedback.
1. Compost tea, every 3 weeks (at top dress)
2. Seed sprout tea, every 3 weeks (between top dresses)
3. As needed = foliar feed or organic cal-mag
4. 1st dress recipe (occurring soon) @ 1/2 strength to play it safe:
- 1 Tablespoon Kelp Meal
- 2 Tablespoons Fish Bone Meal
- 1/2-1 tbsp bat guano***
- 1 tbsp seabird guano***
1 tsp epsom salt
Covered with up to 1/4-1/2"layer of worm castings + remulch
***concerned about the high nitrogen in bat guano as my gut says we are in week 2.5ish of flower
5. Top dresses thereafter:
- same as above; but omit bat guano and double seabird guano
Any thoughts, feedbacks or “atta boys” to add?
