What does it do? I'm experimenting with a kelp/alfalfa tea on my plants in veg.

Enzymes all function as an aid in the general process of converting minerals into absorbable food for the plant, with a little help from various types of bacteria in some cases. Without enzymes, plants cannot effectively use the minerals available to them. So they are really good for getting the nutrients from the soil. Maybe in effect...maximizing it.

Probably ideal toward the end of flowering, where no more nutrition is going into the soil, but the enzymes can find what is left and abstract it.

Yes. It hasn't really hit the swell yet.

Yes. It hasn't really hit the swell yet.

At this stage, even one week makes a big difference.

The tea is kicking butt! I repotted some outdoor plants & they weren't happy about it. Gave em some tea and they perked right up. I'm tempted to try it on my flowering plants. How could it hurt? It's just kelp & alfalfa steeped in boiling water then strained.

I use molasses indoors. It only causes issues if you don't dilute enough.

Compost tea is fine indoors. Highly recommended for high brix levels. You know, that waxy shine on flat leaves. Some are so happy, they get that extra snaggletooth.

Yes they do! Leaf texture is the first thing I check when assessing the health of a plant.
