That droop isn't under fertilization. More like over or under watered, or root issues.

But either tea or fish fertilizer would be good. A EWC based tea would be best though. I'd add some fish fertilizer to the tea too along with EWC and a little molasses.

And remember that top dressing will take a couple weeks or so to really start working and organics work slower than chems. So you gotta be proactive with topdressing.

No worries man. Gnats are nothing. Get some Microbe-Lift BMC. Believe it or not good EWC works too. Most decent EWC will have Hypoaspis Miles and nematodes. Even the Wiggle Worm worked awesome for me. It was loaded with gnat destroyers. Wiggle Worm alone took care of my gnat issue for almost 3 years, until I let the soil become less active and I added some new compost.

I would see nematodes in the water a lot of times when I made EWC tea with it.

@PadawanWarrior @Budzbuddha @farmerfischer do you the the 1/2 tbsp for my 3 gallon pot was enough? I figured I could always titrate upward and didn't want risk a N burn.

Picture after 24 hours. Some of the yellow lower leaves are drying up turning brown. Top growth looks normal.

You can give it another dose next watering. Since it's organic it's not gonna be instant.

This I have never heard of or maybe I turned a blind eye to it but after watching this podcast from our Mr. Growit and BeastCoastGrower.. blown away. If I could get away with just using plant/fruit ferments exclusivley....wow.. I've already set up a banana (potassium) ferment that should be ready by next week.

I would use it as a supplement, or something to get me by until microbes can break down enough organic input for plant availability. As an all purpose, I dunno if it would be enough.
