I would say it’s probably a little early if you are still in stretch as the plant will still want veg nutrients but if stretch is over and bulking at started I don’t see a problem?
Anyone else?

I was thinking that… The plants have white pistils coming from every where but still no real buds yet and the plants are still stretching it looks like… I just don’t want to burn them or anything … and there isn’t any nitro in the tea I made

I don’t think it would hurt. Just don’t over do it. Most doodoo products, seabird guano, bat guano, manure, have a lot of nitrogen. Maybe dilute it a little with distilled and see how they like it. Then in a couple weeks hit em again.

Yea the one I’m using is 0-12-0 from roots organic… I’ll do what you said to do and just dilute it with more water just to be on the safe side

It wont hurt. I do it all the time. Your plants will take what it needs and leave the rest. Dry amendments and top dressing can take up to 2 weeks to become avail to the plant where as a properly brewed tea allow the nutrients to be readily available to the plant. Make sure to ph your tea to make sure the ph hasnt tanked.

Thanks for the reassurance @ChittyChittyBangin just don’t wanna do anything drastic during flower that could potentially burn my plants I mixed it with some black strap molasses and about 2 1/2 tables spoons of sea bird guano ina 5 gallon bucket of water … I’m kind of hoping stretching stops my plants are growing wide like crazy I have no room to move in there any more and to think I was worried they weren’t going to grow lol now it’s just outta control at this point it’s like a jungle in there … thanks again guys

What did you tip dress with . Should have been still little heavier on nitrogen still. I would send it . Depending on npk of the top dress. I go little heavier on p the first 4 weeks of flower. Everyone has their own thing. Happy growing!

I topped dressed with some bloom nutrients and the other half of the roots organic dry amendments uprising foundation … so it was teaspoon of uprising bloom and foundation it has some nitrogen in it but more on the pk side I’m almost done with the second week of the stretch and so far plants are looking good I think it was because in veg I did over feed a lil bit with the grow fertilizer so I think there using up what ever was left over from that … hopefully get through this stretch with no deficiencies …

You are completely fine. The plants will start to utilize the sea bird as soon as they are ready for it. You are definitely not over doing it with the teas.
