Yeah, liquid kelp is pretty harmless, you could probably triple the recommended ratio and still not burn your plants. I prefer dry kelp because it has more benefits and way more bang for your buck. If you have a gallon of liquid kelp fertilizer, it probably has a cup of kelp in it, and cost you more than a five pound box of kelp meal.

If I was making a ten gallon tea with those ingredients I would do;

1 cup of alfalfa meal
1/2 cup of liquid fish feet
I would do 1/2 cup of dry kelp or 1 cup of liquid
4 cups of ewc
1/4 cup of bat Guano if not diluting tea after brewing, 1/2 cup if you are
1/2 cup of molasses or whatever your simple sugar source

Hahaha I shoulda warned ya!

Putting your bucket inside a bigger bucket or a tub will help catch the spill over!

Any recommendations as far as blended fertilizers for early flowering plants? I'm currently using bottle nutes (NFTG) but I'll be going out of town in a few weeks and won't be able to feed. I was thinking of using Down to Earth All Purpose 4-6-2 or Rose and Flower 4-8-4 mix. Also how long before I leave should I start top dressing?

The down to earth bio live is what I would recommend tho the all purpose will do the job. A good rule of thumb with top dressing organics is about a week to two weeks before you need them.

Thanks. I was considering the other products because they have higher percentages of potassium. Is that not as important an aspect as I thought?

It is plenty important! But fertilizers are graded on the water soluble and measurable water insoluble content they have (which unless it's N, isn't much). So often times the numbers on organic fertilizers are not an accurate reflection of the amount of nutrients it is adding to the soil. The biolive has Langbeinite, which provides plenty of slow release potassium to cover you throughout your grow. I could be wrong but my guess is the other mix has a higher K number because it uses sulfate of potash which has a higher water soluble level of potassium, and while a decent amendment...I am partial to Langbeinite. It provides your soil with potassium and sulfur as well, but also Magnesium. And it lasts in your soil for longer.

Did a small tea at 5 week and half flowering .
3 different compost 1cup each worm casting compost, cow manure composted, crab compost
15ml of kelp meal and fish bone meal
10 ml of molasses
1 gallon water

Bubble24 hour l
I add one gallon off water that I use to makehash
10ml molasses
Foeming
Bubble 24h
Add 10 litter and feed
Smell like wine a bit no more fish

48 hours brew

Check out and see if your local library rents out microscopes! Mine does, and you can really see how things explode!

I know you since solved the nitrogen problem but fwiw coffee as a foliar spray works overnight. I dilute it 1:1 in water or use spent grinds and add more water, then filter. It works.
