Plus vitamins, minerals, amino acids and more it does a plant good so does milk, coffee, EWC, oatmeal, urine,and pot leaves.
I got so many pics it's stupid If people want to know how when and what was done just ask.
This was all done in coco compost mix with homemade organic nutes only. Cost in total about 40 dollars and I will keep using the soil and nutes for a reflower and if I can do a third I will but the soil will still be good no chemical build up.
I have seen 5 gallon bucket photos so I couldn't resist, many will think this is a whole plant, not just the colas mixed in that wall of hanging bud on the ends.

Would mixing plant-tone into a composite tea be beneficial? Or just top dressing? I already mixed some in the soil.

If you've already mixed the right amount of PlantTone in the soil, you shouldn't need any more. Sounds like you wanna force feed them all you can. DON'T. An occasional supplemental tea from EWC, Kelp or even just alfalfa will be beneficial. The Plant Tone will take care of the rest. You MAY wanna topdress some BulbTone (3-5-3) during flower IF you can get it, but really it shouldn't be necessary
Ok thanks for the heads up..I've got EWC and molasses..so that's probably all I'm going to give her unless I notice any deficiencies. Would a tea every other watering be too much?

If the roots stay wet....yes. Are you in veg or flower? If you are vegging, a tea of alfalfa & EWC or kelp as a foliar would be really beneficial. Foliar feeding in flower is difficult as you have to spray the leaves only. Not really recommended.

Yeah the Espoma Tones aren't really designed for teas at all, although they do have some ingredients that some people might put in a tea more exclusively or in a different manner. Greensand, sulfate of potash magnesia, sulfate of potash, poultry manure doesn't sound like a very good tea to me.
Foliar with AACT can be done weekly or biweekly; you can make them stronger by using guano, or the other recommended ingredients and you can also dilute this before applying. In flower you only want to do foliar shortly before lights on or shortly after they come on and you should only really do this up to a certain point.
