Compost tea questions

Hello. I have my bucket of de-chlorinated water ready but I haven't added my worm castings just yet or Molasses or anything. I was wondering, can I use this tea in flower? If I do should I add bloom nutes to the water? Or is that dry ammendments only because all I have for dry ammendments currently are dr earth organic 4-4-4, Epsom salts and blood meal (I may have this wrong it may be bone meal I have the one that is high in phosphorus). I'm just a little confused on how I apply the tea. Can I feed my bloom nutes right after or should teas be seperate from feedings?

A compost tea helps boost your microbiome. A nutrient tea can help organic gardeners adjust faster to an issue. Go easy on molasses 1tbs /4 gal is what I use

I grabbed a 40# bag of alfalfa at feed store for $10 should last forever to make alfalfa tea. I like to use this and/or kelp in early flower.
So I made mine with this

5 gallons pre aerated.
2 cups of worm castings
2 table spoons of Molasses
1 cup of 4-4-4 organic ammendment
That dr earth has a few different things in it but essentially what I'm asking is I can use this as a feed correct? Like for some of my vegging plants

Yes you can. I usually water my topdress in with a tea to get it Jumpstarted. Just bubble it for 24hrs
