Can Adding Worm Castings During Flowering Be Beneficial? 🪱🌸Updated 2 months ago

Yes! Worm castings can still benefit your cannabis plants during flowering, though their role changes compared to the vegetative stage.

Nutrient Boost: Worm castings provide a gentle, slow release of nutrients, including small amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. While flowering plants need less nitrogen, they still appreciate the micronutrients and beneficial microbes.
Soil Health: Castings improve soil structure and water retention, keeping the root zone balanced and active.
Microbial Activity: They encourage beneficial microbial life, which helps unlock phosphorus and potassium—both key nutrients for flower production.

Top Dressing: Sprinkle a thin layer (about ½ inch) on the surface of your soil and water in.
Tea: Brew a worm casting tea and use it as a mild supplement during watering.
Mixing: If you’re repotting before flower, you can mix some into the soil.

Worm castings are not a bloom booster on their own. Pair them with phosphorus- and potassium-rich nutrients (like your bloom formula) for best results.
Avoid adding too much, since castings are nutrient-rich but can slightly raise nitrogen levels, which you want to keep moderate during flowering. 🌱
