You can grow (some) plants in 100% EWC, though I wouldn't recommend it and your results won't be fantastic. A lot of references I've seen recommend about 20-25% EWC.
.
You can buy bags of EWC at any Hydro shop.

This is the correct answer.
Got to ask one more time as I'm sure it was missed in the christmas and New Year shuffle.
Can you water plants in veg with water, Liquid karma, kelp plant food and Blackstrap every watering and then roughly every third watering make a guanno/EWC tea for them as well?
Or is the water, Liquid Karma, kelp plant food and blackstrap to0 agressive for every watering?

thanks for the help made a nice medium.
I've applied dolomite lime in a moat around the plant the one time I forgot to mix into the soil... about 1.5 tablespoons about an inch deep and covered. It took about 2 waterings before I saw any effect. Although it had some beneficial effects, it was never the same for the grow as properly mixing in the soil ahead of time though. As for azomite, if it were me and I forgot to mix into the soil, I'd just wait until the next round and mix it in then.

azomite turns into a hot mess when it gets wet. i wouldn't top dress with it.
Could you expand on this? I did a quick search but only found good things from azomite. There were some aluminum concerns, but nothing major........scrappy
I absolutely disagree with this. It makes no more mess than any rock flour. Every time you water, a little bit of it goes to exactly the right place. If you keep worms in your pots they will grab it for their gullets.
Azomite is wonderful top dressing. if it chunks up too much for you, try watering after you apply it with a spray instead of a pour. Also a little bonsai rake is great to use when you apply, and moisten the top layer every day unless you are fighting gnats. (or just ignore the harmless "hot mess")
i disagree too, my bucket of azomite has been wet for over a year( left it open last winter, and when it was almost dry i left it open again recently) it has absolutely NO effect on the azomite or its effects one the soil. the only thing is when its wet it clumps up.
