why are people so obsessed with tea and sugar?
There absolutely is benefits to using ACT with synthetic nutrients. Many organic growers will tell you other wise but they are wrong. Some of the most amazing plants I have ever seen were grown using Grow More at 25% strength in conjunction with weekly applications of ACT and foliar feeding.
Be warned though, is you use too much fertilizer you will negate the benefits of the ACT. Less is more when doing a hybrid system like that. However, if you do it right, ACT can reduce your fertilizer use considerably. My buddy that was using the Grow More & ACT combo reduced his nutrient use by 75%, and I have been able to reduce my use of liquid organic nutrients by 50% since I started using ACT.
Watch that phosphorous. IIRC, TWM said that if you use a "nothing more than 10" rule for NPK values then you'll be safe with microbes.
Oh! Sorry about that. Generally it's known that high phosphorous levels will kill off certain microbes, or at least disallow them from growing/living/thriving. So, you can mitigate potential damage by limiting the percentage of P to 10%, and that's been found to not cause damage that higher numbers tend to cause. That said, I would think that something like, say, bat guano, even if as high as 12, wouldn't be so terribly inhibitive that you might risk impacting cultures. This type of nutrient interaction is something I'm not terribly well-versed on, though, so there are others who would probably be better at answering the question than I.Can you explain this for me? I tried to figure out what you meant but I just confused myself more.
