Microbes/bacteria

[McLeafy]

I have compared a list of "ingredients" for AN Voodoo Juice, Fox Farm Microbe Brew, Soil Balance Pro, and Mammoth P. Virtual zero overlap in microbe content. So it's real hard to decide on just one or two. What have you used? What were your results?

I have been using Recharge for a few months to inoculate microbial tea.
About a teaspoon into a 4 gallon batch which I brew for 5 days.
I also include runoff from a worm bin.
The resultant tea smells better than many of my historic choices.
And seems to yield the required multitudes who are sacrificed to the root zone.

Expensive, but it goes along way.

Been useing Recharge for years
Good stuff Maynard!!!
However it's the ONLY inoculant I've used so I may be biased....

This is what I'm using this run as a weekly mini flush, along with VooDoo Juice the first 2 weeks of veg and bloom. Roots appear to love it. Plants are super healthy.

I also use Mykos or VAM mycorrhiza sprinkled into the hole at transplant.

This grow, I am running Soil Balance Pro, Voodoo Juice, and Microbe Brew. After some research these three seem the most promosing and Mammoth P seems overpriced for what it can potentially offer

 

[Enforcer]

Agreed, Mammoth P is very expensive. Not really worth it to me for a claimed 16% increase in yield, and a 6% increase in stem strength.

How the hell would you quantify a 6% increase anyway? "Yep, that's 6% stronger that last run".....really?

Hahaha! Exactly. I've read the science behind all the strains in the 4 products I mentioned and it seems to me Soil Balance Pro may offer the most promise.

I've used and still have some microbe brew but lately I've been using real growers recharge and like it slightly better.

Use them all. Btw, Mommoth P will send you samples.

 

[BombBP]

Recharge has samples too.

How are you applying it? Root drench? I received a bottle with my notg sample pack

Yes. I mix up 20ml to 2 gal RO water in a pump sprayer. I also add SLF-100, molasses, and some roots organics extreme serene. Then I just hand water it in. I do it every week when I change the res. Takes the place of one of the waterings.

Edit:

I don’t run it through the res because;

Microbe, smells like raw sewage. Good to get it in, and get it out. Don’t want that stuff hanging out in your res all week.

SFL-100, being an enzyme it tends to cause bio-slime.

Molasses, will gum up the auto watering system.

Hand watering once a week allows me to get these products in the medium and working, without the drawbacks. Plus it gets me close to my plants once a week. A good time to check for bugs and problems. You’d be surprised how easy it is to neglect the base of the plants with auto watering.
