I'm using Aerated Compost Teas, and I'm having definite deficiency issues. All advice is welcome. I'm getting very yellow leaves while still in VEG. I will post pics. PLEASE HELP!
The big plant is Trainwreck x ambrosia. The clones are Dream lotus and the super sativa looking one is ATF.

Hey, compost tea are awesome! Some more details on what ingredients the tea is made up of would be helpful. I use aerated teas as well, but always in conjunction with a steady nutrient schedule. Most growers that I know use tea in cycles, such as feed,water,tea,feed,water,tea. If you are only using tea, the plants may not be getting all of the nutrients that they need to thrive. I would definitely recommend feeding once a week as well with an organic nutrient regimen, or your own combination of fish and kelp products as a base.

Hey, thanks for the responses! My compost tea's are made of 1 cup Bu's compost, 1 cup earthworm castings, a couple tablespoons of azomite/crustacian meal and a scoop of some crushed up hemp/komfrey/alfalfa with a couple tablespoons of some organic molasses. I throw this in a cooler thats about 8 gallons of water and bubble it outside. Temps are around 65 or so. My original recipe for my soil mix had a lot of crustacean meal and Kelp meal, probably to much. So I think it is just burning, I showed some pictures to the guy at the grow shop and he thought it looked like nute burn as well.

I've noticed the bugs, so I'm going to have to get some yellow sticky tape and hang it up in the tent, as well as give them some neem oil sprays. So far I have been feeding them teas every time so perhaps I just need to flush them with water tonight. I am also planning on starting some Sprouted Seed Tea's, and picked up a few bags of organic malted barley and organic popcorn seeds that I will be sprouting over the next couple of days.

yeah bro, it's easy to overdo it with soil amendments. Less is always better than too much. You can't really flush that stuff out very easily either..hmm.

Yeah its been about a week since I have watered, I let them get a little dry on purpose, and I'm going to give them a good flush with water today. I think my soil is a little under aerated so I've had issues getting it to give me run off, but I think since I let it get a little dryer I should be fine. I'll test it with my PH and TDS meter and see where I'm at.
Thanks for the input, not really sure what else I can do. Maybe spraying it with water every couple of hours might help.
