Worm castings though are the base of every tea as a rule. Reason being, worms don't have a stomach so they rely on soil microbes to digest their food as well. Hence why everything that they literally shit out comes out multiple times richer in nutrients. But the real benefit is the microbe life. Idk if anything has the microbe life like worm castings/compost. Aloe is another favorite of mine as well. I use 1/4-1/2 cup of kelp and worm castings and like 1/4 cup aloe gel or 1/8 cup aloe extract. Sugars as well influence flavor dramatically, they also feed microbe life because organics dosent work like synthetics which bypass the organic process to being ready for uptake by roots. So the key to organic success is microbe life and plenty of root space til the end at least and good organic material. Pot sizes too if your not an advanced grower make a huge difference. Go up sizes, if you make a mistake, correct it and bump up a few sizes again. When I was younger I would always do this with great success now I'm like a keg cup contest grower lol

Like this Chem d x stardawg #2 male lol. I'm always testing stuff though to see its durability and strengths and weaknesses. But I ph my waterings now, and even my teas but I try to use natural adjusters that aren't ph up or down like earth juice even but instead humic acid as down, and silica as ph up, instead of citric acid or phosphoratic acid. Or re inoculating my medium with lacto bacillus I make, regularly because if the microbes die your ph won't be stable anymore. And all it takes is to under water once to kill them off.
