Worm Castings Question

[Izzie1701]

I have been reading that you can’t over feed with worm castings as you won’t have salt build up. Is this true? And if so any harm in using it along with GH trio? Currently I water with GH and every second watering I flush with ph balanced water (6.3 for everything). I flush with 3g in a 5g pot that only has about 1/2-3/4 of its capacity with coco and perlite. I let it dry right out between waterings. A little wilt but not much. Anyways I ask as I’m nervous to up my nutes amount as I’m following the GH recommendations for waste to drain but I think I’m showing some N deficiency symptoms. Anyone done this and had success or thing it’s a bad idea?

edit: should say that I was planning to do my flushes with worm poop tea. Still water with GH nuts just rather then flushing with water and leaving no nutrients in till it dries out again and I water with nutes, the girls would have worm poop tea at this time and it would also flush my salts out.

If you're using off the shelf nutrients that is likely where any salt buildup will come from because it is the binding agent for most nutrient agents. Are you planning making a worm casting tea or top dressing your container? If you are making a tea you can brew it with just worm castings but if you're top dressing I suggest you mix it with a good mild compost. I've never used off the shelf nutrients in conjunction with worm poop but personally I would use them separately when doing feedings.

Sorry had just taken a couple puffs before posting. I should have said I was planning to water with worm tea as my flush days. I’m going a watering of nutes, dry out, flush with balanced water, dry out, feed with nutes. Was just going to use work poop tea for my flushes.
