So during this time of lock down , no nurseries open , so I can’t buy fish meal for nitrogen my question is I know tea is made to basically increase the microbial herd , I usually throw some fish meal in my tea after I bubble it , I normally use worm leachate with mollases , what I wana know is can I instead of just bubbling the leachate if I add fresh chopped cannabis leaves which I’ve trimmed won’t that help with the nitrogen in my soil ??? Just a weird thort I had

It will eventually get broken down and add nitrogen, dried might be better for a tea though just like people tea is mostly made with dried leaves. If you have any feed stores nearby you can get alfalfa cheap and bubble it in a tea, but alfalfa is better for veg wouldn't want to add it late in flower. Comfrey is another good one that can be grown at home and used for teas and topdressing, pretty much any organic matter fed to the bacteria and fungi will eventually feed the plants.
