My first compost tea! Should dilute or not?

My question is: for plants in early veg will this be too nutrient rich/powerful? Should I dilute and if so how much?

I have brewed up 5 gallons for 10 plants (each in 5 gallon pot) but it is my first time making an actively aerated compost tea so please let me know any feedback. Here is the composition:

Tea bag base
compost 1 cup
worm castings 1 cup

Extra tea ingedient
kelp extract
honey (or molasses if have)
fish hydrosolate
humic acid
bat guano
mycorhiza
trichoderma

I just did a PPM and pH test and it came out to 460 PPM and 6.2 pH

Only dilute it if you need to make it stretch. Use it as is; should not burn....looks to be a fungal dominant recipe
What is the Extra Tea Ingredient?
maybe I don’t want to know ...lol
That is more stuff then I usually add but should be ok. I have found that adding a lot of stuff to your tea does not equate to healthier or more vigorous plants. Keep it simple. More is not always better.
