Are worm castings time release?

Just wondering if worm castings are time release? Got a slight N tox and was wondering if they were to blame as it hit all the plants around the same time.

They’ve been in these pots for 4 weeks now.

i second this. Your plants are looking awesome OP. I like top topdress EWC on top of my down to earth nutrients and I also use them in compost tea once a week. I might be wasting nutrients in the long run, by making sure i add enough food soon enough for them.
Thanks man! How long do you brew for?

I've been using roots worm castings, black gold compost, whatever organic molasses, recharge, and a little bit of dry fertilizer from down to earth depending on stage of growth.

What I've been doing most of the time is mixing the dry amendments with the EWC and some pumice. Then top dressing with that. Sometimes I give straight dry but it kinda pisses off my worms it seems when I don't mix them. They live through it, but they look pissed when I get the dry stuff on them.

If you brew tea look into roots organic terp tea bloom
I brew The terp tea, molasses and castings around 36 hours, and just castings, molasses during veg for same Time
That Terp Tea looks decent. I haven't made in tea in a long time though now. I'm lazy. They'd love it though if I did. I've just been top dressing lately.

The last time I made a tea using EWC about 1/2 cup to couple gallons of water. A cap full of fish stuff? Some seaweed stuff and a little molasses.

it was brewed for 24hrs and when I gave it to my plants they yellowed super fast and ripened as well?

Iveheard of micro blooms? How can u avoid that with a tea?
