Well, I have a horse and have a collection of manure to last a lifetime. The wife and I make manure tea for our garden all the time but I have never used on plants in pots. So, my question is, if I make up a weak version of manure tea, could I bottom water with this solution or would that more than likely burn/kill my roots? Would it be better to just give a quick shot on the top and just bottom water with normal nutrients or should I just leave the manure tea for matured adult plants?

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

so would you bottom water with it or just top spray?
Depending on how strong you are making it, I would gently pour it over the entire plant so that you foliar feed as well as soil feed. I do it that way with my compost Tea and have great results. Foliar feeding is a lot more efficient than soil feeding. I would just start with a small amount and work up depending on how your plants respond.
