My question is, does it make sense to kill(make inert) the nitrogen fixing microbes and still use recharge for the humic/fulvic acid, molasses and kelp benefits?
E.g. for scenarios where no more nitrogen is need, latter stages of flower, soil amendments already have ample nitrogen etc etc.

If so what would be the best way to do this? heat?
Leaving recharge in still water for an extended period of time till the microbes die off?
Extreme cold..freezing?

Would any of this begin to make sense attempting?

I use molasses mainly with the goal of microbe feeding for good trichome and terp production but apparently it'll help bind some of your excess N for you and then you can get it back if you need it by triggering a microbe die-off. It's more complicated than that but that's the idea. For nute changeout I usually just dilute the payload with some good waterings and I'm not capitalizing on this like I probably should be. I would definitely lean into the microbes but not solely depend on them. They are the magic behind organic soil and everything that happens with it. If you give this your focus, please share your results!

You could get the individual ingredients and brew your own tea. Humic/fulvic acid, kelp, molasses, and add some Mikrobs. Maybe some worm castings.
