I don't know if it contains mycorrhizae; if not, I'd still add it.
Tea is generally an additive not nutrient replacement.

Additive?
When added to the soil, the microbes in Compost or Compost tea begin working to breakdown the insoluble nutrients in the soil, making them available to the plant. And that is just one of the many benefits.
SME, that is why I suggested adding the tea during flush, for those that believe in flush, in that the addition will aid in breaking down the nutrients and chem's that I would think will make the buds bitter and harsh. I am no expert but this is my observation from my years.
Tar, I would add the tea over the top of the plants when you make your cuts, that will allow the beneficial microbes to cover the cut areas and reduce the possibility of the bad guys getting to the site and into the plant. Again just observations from my experiences using Compost Tea.
In my time, 30+ yrs, of maintaining quality turf with 20 of that using organic fertilizers and compost/compost tea, what I would do is schedule preparing the actively aerated compost tea 24 hrs prior to application. The following morning I would have crews with large volume hand spray equipment follow the mowers and apply 5 gallons of compost tea in 100 gallons of fresh well water per 1000 ft of golf green surface. Doing it right after the cutting allows the good guys the edge.

Virtually all organic nutrients are slow release anyway but there are times when the right tea can help plants require less nutrients although cannabis seems to be a pretty hungry plant. I'd imagine that most turf grasses would be much easier to take care of.
It's my opinion that proper drying and cure is much more important and effective than flushing when it comes to smoothness, aroma and taste.
YMMV...

Don't smoke the seaWEED...
Speaking of seaweed... I remember as an early teenager a storm sunk a pot smuggling boat from Mexico full of Acapulco Gold and most of it washed up on shore of a few local beaches. You should have seen all of the hippies and bikers out there stuffing garbage bags full. Luckily, we had a boat so we were able to get some of the stuff that was still floating in the water and since what we picked up was still wrapped up no water got in ours.

Here I am with some picture for everyone to enjoy to those along the ride and to SME thats one great story I enjoyed with a bowl of Blue Dream OG.
The last compost tea feed was made from ocean forest along with some excelerite boogie's sugar
This was my first boogie brew and this run had worm casting, sea-90, boogie humus and boogie brix.
Here's my Bougainvillea forgot to snap a shot without the leds on
went ahead and added another 4 set of jalapeno but this strain is called early jalapeno
ok now for the canna ladies all but Sb #00 are in LST. Sb #00 showed slow growth after being topped so Ill hold off on LST for now.

Sb #00 non-LST

I don't like the look of that necrosis on the cut leaf of sb#00, I assume that tip used to lay on the soil before it got taller?
Other than that they look very healthy.
Keep on keeping on...
