Compost tea changed how my plants look in week 3

Been running unsulfured blackstrap molasses in my aerated compost teas for about two years now and the difference in canopy color during early veg is hard to ignore. Like, week 3 used to always look a little pale and slow for me. Not anymore.

I brew a simple AACT with a tablespoon of blackstrap per gallon, some worm castings, and good air for 24-36 hours. That's it. Nothing fancy. I water it in around the drip line and let the soil do what it does. The molasses feeds the microbes more than it feeds the plant directly, which is the whole point in a living soil situation.

For what its worth, I only do this every other watering during veg, not every time. I think people sometimes overdo the teas and end up with anaerobic pockets or just waterlogged soil. Less is genuinely more with this stuff.

If you're in a no-till or water-only setup and things feel stalled, a good tea is usually my first move before i start second-guessing my soil mix.
