WHen your showing a deficiency and you need to quickly make nutrients available to the plant? This is my first true organic grow, no bottles just boxes of amendments EWC and compost teas. I don't suffer from any deficiencies at the moment but want to be ready just I case I missed something in the soil. Other then compost/guano teas which I already use, what else can you do?

Not a pro here but I would think it depends specifically want kind of deficiency is showing. I havent had the chance to actually soak in which amendments give what nutrients exactly but I'm working on it, as i just switched to boxes, and bags instead of bottles myself. I know alfalfa and kelp are great. Ive heard of Aloe Vera Juice and Coconut water doing good stuff as well not sure on the details its somewhat beyond me still.

If you're using quality worm castings as the base of your soil then you cannot possibly have a 'nute' deficiency.
Use worm castings in a bag from the hydro stores and it's your guess - they got you into trouble in the first place with sub-standard materials perhaps they'll have an equally viable fix.

Yeah that's what I have heard, I got EWC from a nursery in town. I can only hope they are of acceptable quality. I just started a compost box and bought a bunch of red wigglers to get it going. That won't be ready for a while so my source of quality EWC is questionable right now. I mixed EWC into the soil mix I made and they did great for 5 weeks of veg and then. Just top dressed a cup per pot on day one of flower.

I guess I'm talking about the best "delivery system" in a quick fix situation that still adhered to organic "guidelines"

I've never had any problems with a deficiency that I've noticed. That being said, I would say that AACT would help any situation if your soil contains what it needs to keep a plant alive and healthy.

It sounds like you were sold a good product.Yeah that's what I have heard, I got EWC from a nursery in town. I can only hope they are of acceptable quality.

I'd be inclined to go back in the future and see what other materials or services they offer - if they got the worm castings right there's a good possibility that they give a shit. Tough to find in any business relationship

Honestly man their are two things you can do. Build a solid soil mix, and apply a compost tea of good quality compost. Some simple botanical teas as well for a slight boost in the diversity of elements and compounds available.
Kelp meal botanical teas are my cure all, from heat stress to 12/12 switch. Anything funky shortly stops, if it was anything at all.
Be careful though, applying teas at a high concentration could burn.

If you set your soil properly in the first place, you shouldnt have any real problems. And if you do, thats something to add to the list of "now i know"

What do the pros do? is like the old question What do guys with 12" dicks have for breakfast?
"Well this morning I had hash-browns, a Spanish omelet and a big cup of STFU!"

well in far fetched fairy tale land your grow will go perfect with no deficiency and no problems but in real world shit happens land you just reference a deficiency guide and go from there. unless your soil mix is one you've used several times you will probably need to tweak and test top dress etc, fun fun.

What's a deficiency?
Hey Jerry, I see you know what your talking about and you CAN be informative sometimes....but for the most part your just a huge dickhead who thinks all organic growers who ask questions are not worthy of a strait answer.
Very very helpful, thanks a bunch

You make one little joke and the next thing you know, you're a penis. Imalittleteapot, click on Jerry's name and take a look at some of the threads he's started. The dude is super friendly and very helpful. Besides, name calling doesn't really fly 'round here.

Maybe we should all be a little less abrasive to new blades and give them more guidance than confusion.
Im not saying that im completely guiltless to that. But i can kind of see where the teapot is coming from...

Why, cuz I said "what's a deficiency"? *lol* that's ok, I have big shoulders. 
I honestly have not had a "deficiency" since I started making my own soils. Deficiencies are non-existent and this word belongs in the hydro forum - not here.
Enuff said.
You need to grow a tougher skin dude.
