Bloom Tea - Please help

Subs super soil in 5 gal smart pots doing 7 gal next time... , I am 3 weeks into flower and have fed my ladies only water. They have done great until now and can tell they are running out of food. I have on hand -

Alfalfa meal
Kelp meal
Molasses
Earth worm castings
And high N bat guano

I know I dont really need the high N guano just fyi. Will this be enough to replenish the soil of lost nutrients? I only have access to the Internet to order supplies, Wally world or L owes. Any suggestions on easy to find additives to this tea recipe would be great. I have access to horsecrap but would have to leach or prepare it.

I would mix it all up and brew some tea. Guano or no guano the tea will replenish your plants and soil.

The ingredients you listed are fine together, it doesn't have to be complicated, just use what you've got. Guano should also have some microbes in it to help inoculate the tea, as well as the earthworm castings. Try to use a more balanced or high-P guano during bloom. If you could get forest humus (e.g. Ancient Forest) I would use that instead or with the castings (unless your castings are fresh). Healthy forest humus should have an enormous number of different species of bacteria and thousands more different species of fungi.

You could also include humic acid, aloe vera or yucca extract, other carbohydrate sources such as Earth Juice Catalyst or oat bran.

In the mean time, you could top-dress with some fresh Super Soil.

I'd not use the high N bat guano, as a sudden influx of nitrogen would slow down flowering. I'd also not use the Alfalfa or Kelp, as they will slam flowering to a stop, because both contain natural growth (veg) stimulants.

Get youself some Flower Power bloom fertilizer from BMO (Ebay). It's a low nitrogen, higher P and K fertilizer, that works well. It's got good stuff in it (all organic), and everything I've flowered out with it, did really well. Use the FP, your EWC's, a little molasses, and you'll end up with plants that are phat and frosty.

Did you homebrew some bloom tea, or use somthing out of the bottle ?
How did your ladies finish ?

Thats BAD advice, plain and simple. The plants will NEED more nitrogen due to only being in week 3 of floweing, the lack of N is more than likely causing the problems...

Depends on the state of the plants... im going to take a guess and say the leaves are starting to yellow on the tips and edges of the leaves? are they also developing off colored spots? That is mainly caused by a lack of Nitrogen + Trace elements.... The best tea you can make at this point would be an all-purpose tea somewhere in the range of 10-10-10, but the ingredients that you have will not get you enough potassium for proper bud growth later on...

If you can find Alaska fish fertalizer morbloom ($40/gallon~) at lowes that would be your best option for boosting your P+K ratio's. the tea i would suggest would be:

5 gallons water
1 cup worm castings
30 ML Moorbloom
30 ML high N guano
30 ML Kelp meal
60 ML Molasses

Brew for 48~ hours to ensure bacterial dominance then feed directly to the plants. use the "mash" left over in the pot to top dress the soil and ensure that the soil is replenished.

P.S: If you upload detailed pic's i can tell you exactly whats wrong with your plants.
