Would anyone know or where I could find out without sending in a sample on How much nitrogen if any is in a simple 5gal batch of regular cane molasses/worm casting Tea (2 cups worm casting with 2 1/2 ounces Molasses 24/hr bubble? I don't want to be using this as a drench if its going to be stunting fruit growth from too much nitrogen, Thanks.

Look up Worm Castings around 1% nitrogen, .5% phosphorous, .25% potash, 2.3% Calcium,1% Iron...Spray or drench away

Joseph if you are worried about too much nitrogen stunting your fruit growth then the nitrogen level in worm castings and the regular cane molasses certainly won't add too much nitrogen. However, if you are brewing millions of bacteria in your teas that will consume the organic material in your patch you will be increasing the nitrogen levels for sure. If you're really concerned about your nitrogen levels I would not be drenching with a worm casting tea.
