i checked out the h&g line up today. for my curiosity i will run numbers soon. they don't have a guaranteed analysis, and only give NPK. it's expensive shit! i'll post recipes if anyone requests it.
can somebody please list
roots excelurator's guaranteed analysis and ingredients?
Fatmans' take on Roots Excellerator>
Contains:Micro nutrients, hydro bacteria, proteins, Amino acids, Hyminic acids 9% and 100% natural ingredients. IE composted cow manure extracts. It is Canna Cannazym without the vitamins as added by Canna. H&G
Roots Excelurator .25L - NUTRIENT & PH - NU-MEHG-RE
Canna Cannazym:
"Cellulase is an enzyme complex which breaks down cellulose to beta-glucose. It is produced mainly by symbiotic bacteria in the ruminating chambers of herbivores."
The enzymmes are called cellulase and a full explanation of them are given at this link.
AE - Enzymes - Catalase
The cellulase enzymes are presently being widely tested for turning twitch grass into ethanol so as to replace the use of corn for producing etahnol. The use of a food product to produce a partial replacement for gasoline has raised the cost of feed corn which hasj ust raised the cost of food that is fed corn, ie. pork, beef, chicken and raised the cost of cereals etc. made with corn.
Hate to burst any bubbles but it is just bovine manure compost extract. The new "in thing." Bovines (cows) are ruminant aninals have multiple stomachs, In one of those stomach live anaerobic bacteria and the enzymes they create. These enzymes allow for efficienct conversion of cellulose fibers to sugars. IE grass to sugars, roots to sugars.
Like I have said before, they would sell mj growers donkey urine as a special mj supplement if they could get a steady large source of the urine.
No it has no place in inert hydro using chemical nutrients. With chemical nutes you run a disinfected system or as near as possible to sterile environment. You kill the bacteria and protozoa with chlorine or
hydrogen peroxide. You do not supply bacteria and enzymes to the system. These are used in organic systems where bacteria and enzymes are need to convert organic nutes into usable forms (mainly ammonia to nitrate). As you can not kill off those bacteria and enzymes you can not prevent root rot by killing the bacteria so you use bacteria to convert the dead roots to sugar rather than rotting and then having bacteria slowly convert them to ammonia, then mitrite and then nitrate.
