I picked up a couple of bags today to make some tea, how often should I use it? General suggestion seems to be about once per week. I also bought some molasses for carbs. Is that only applied in flower?
How often do you use compost tea?

If you're making aerated tea be sure that your bubbler has balls.
I use tea maybe 4 times during an entire grow. I switch up my drenches, using recharge a few times, straight water, maybe an SST with seaweed and aloe, i am testing out Accelerate from AEA. And of course some drenches where npk, Ca and S and trace elements are applied.
Keep a light hand on the molasses. You want the microbes digesting minerals not sugars.

Ok. What exactly did you mean by making sure the bubbler has balls?

There is a certain dissolved oxygen level that is required to have optimal growth of beneficial organisms. To achieve that level that pump should have the balls (capacity) that is matched to your reactor. Check out the microbe man's page he is considered an authority on these matters.
