Thought I may try again to get an answer/help here.
I tried a kelp foliar feed this am. Does it look like potassium is low?

overall health I think still looks good except for the browning/yellowing of leaf tips/edges

The plants look healthy to me. Just maybe monitor it but you have taken the relevant steps now to ensure that all the boxes are ticked, you are just seeing the effects of the original issues.

Sometimes doing nothing is the best way to give your plants what they need. I would just ensure that the top dress that you gave them stays moist. So I use a pressure sprayer inbetween waterings. Maybe like 300-500mls per a 40l (10.5gall) pot. I do this every day I dont water. So waterings are once every 2nd or 3rd day depending on plant stage so every other day I spray the soils.

Thats just something that got recommended to me and I do like the idea of keeping the organic material moist.

I’ve kind taken my own approach to this. I check with my finger and if that top layer of castings is drying, I mist. Thanks for the help and reassurances.

Just water and if you let the soil dry a litlle it will slow down the microbes and a tea will boost it if its not already max out !
Nice healthy plant !

Yo, Swed…. The drying out of the soil a bit helped.
And Reap, but still been keepin’ that top layer moist.
Curiosity killed the cat though, and I did feed them a 25% strength alfalfa sprout tea late this week; but they LOVED IT.

Now I’m addressing my flower top dress plan:
I know I need ample PK in the topdress; but am uneducated on how quickly to cut nitrogen out.
I will state my plan below for feedback.

1. Compost tea, every 3 weeks (at top dress)
2. Seed sprout tea, every 3 weeks (between top dresses)
3. As needed = foliar feed or organic cal-mag

4. 1st dress recipe (occurring soon) @ 1/2 strength to play it safe:
- 1 Tablespoon Kelp Meal
- 2 Tablespoons Fish Bone Meal
- 1/2-1 tbsp bat guano***
- 1 tbsp seabird guano***
1 tsp epsom salt
Covered with up to 1/4-1/2"layer of worm castings + remulch
***concerned about the high nitrogen in bat guano as my gut says we are in week 2.5ish of flower

5. Top dresses thereafter:
- same as above; but omit bat guano and double seabird guano

Any thoughts, feedbacks or “atta boys” to add?
