Foliar feeding with worm castings?

Hey yall, im currently using j3 organic worm tea (1pint diluted with one gallon of water), now the bottle itself says to only water it once a week, but i was wondering if anyone knew if i could do it earlier than this? Any ideas or do i need to just stick with my foliar spray 1 a week? right now the plant is in its 3rd week of life and its about a little less than 6 inches. (just a widdle baby):bigjoint:

i dunno if thats accurate or not. i spray it about once a week and it seems to do quite well with it, i am just wondering if u can feed if not the leaves perhaps the soil more than once a week. just out of curiousity is all.

I haven't pushed cannabis really hard with the nutrients yet, but I've used worm casting tea on my flowers and lawn. It's burned a few plants in my front yard even though the bottle clearly says it won't burn plants. On the other hand, regular lawn grass seems to soak it up with no problem.

I think its to risky to feed young cannabis plants. Maybe if your growing bag seed and your only growing for shits & giggles, then I would say go for it. Otherwise, I say you should play it safe and avoid the nutrients until your plant is a few weeks old, like Southern Il Buds said.

Worm castings as a soil drench tea wont everr burn anything, they aren't strong enough. About foilar feed? No clue I never use them

If you decide you want to foliar feed, this means one of two things: 1.) You are trying to achieve more yield by experimenting, or 2.) You are trying to correct a mineral, nutrient deficiency. Foliar feeding is like crushing a pill before you take it, it gets right into the system without having to go through the soil, roots, back up the stalk, etc... I would say save your worm castings for your soil and use straight up bloom nutes in your spray bottle. Spray with regular water next day to wash off any residue build up...DJ
