Me too, it's a good source of PK for the last stages of flowering and works also as taste improver. In smaller outdoor pots i use it like a diluted tea, just adding a cup of hot distilled water per teaspoon and that onto 2 litres (1/2 gallon) of tap water and straight to the plant it goes, doing that once weekly, two or three times. Too much of it might burn the plant, but with those measures you're safe.

Once I went organic always used some high P seabird guano as a top dressing. It's an absolute primo flavor enhancer but it will drive pH down. Haven't grown in a bit but used about 1 tbs per 5 gal up top if remembering correctly but my mix was not very hot and no teas. I usually balanced with steamed bonemeal to keep pH in check. I mainly used top dressings for flower but next time around gonna focus on spikes but still the seabird will be a major component.
