Worm Castings?

I mix about 10-15% worm castings with my medium before starting a grow..
I also top dress various dry organic amendments throughout the grow and always mix in some worm castings. I can’t imagine growing without…

Getting ready to Top will it help any to put Worm Castings around the plants.
It is high in N and not much else it's more for the beneficials with ewc so yes it definitely can't hurt to topdress with some after you top and it's always good to have some in your soil mix but the best thing you can do with it though in my opinion is make aerated worm tea brew it for 24 hours and no more and feed it that it's great stuff all plants love it.

Ewc is better applied directly into the soil and watered on.
Mixing it with water beforehand just dilutes it.
Usually when growing with ewc your main factor is pot size, you wanna mix 10-15% ewc in your soil mix and topdress or fertigate with nutes along the way.
If the pot selected is big enough, you won't have to worry about anything but watering it.
If you flower too late and roots established too much, meaning absence of nutrients,
You will run into trouble, even with topdress.
Reason being is organic matter takes time, ewc are readily available for the roots but people forget not all of it is available all the time, it's a slow release approach.
When your growing under lights in a "turbo environment" as i like to call it, better prepare beforehand for these scenarios.
