I am going to allow a few of my VFTS that are growing indoors to flower (for the first time) and would love some suggestions to ensure their continued vigor. They have recently come out of dormancy and are currently subsisting on a diet of dried bloodworms and the occasional spider. Most are growing in a tray of distilled water underneath yescom 225's. Temperature ranges from 63-69F and humidity from 64-81%. Would foliar application of maxsea help? Any tips appreciated

If you're feeding them bloodworms, then I think the MaxSea is unnecessary.

All mine manage to flower and set seed without feeding, so yours will be fine.
Cheers
