I've looked everywhere, including the website of the Co. that made it. It just does not say :(What's on the back of the package? If they did anything other than mill it, then it's been processed.
I must Quote: "...What is malted barley, and why is it so special? Yes, this is the same stuff that is used to brew beer! Therefore, you can usually obtain organic malted barley from a local homebrew store, or buy it online. In this context, “malted” is used to describe barley grains that have been germinated. Under controlled conditions and temperatures, the wet grains are allowed to sprout… just a little bit. The process is halted when they reach peak enzymatic activity, which makes them ideal for future fermentation – or use in the garden!..."According to their website, it should be good. They claim not to process the good out of the product.
Why do you want this? What are you trying to boost?
MY FIRST ORGANIC GROW [seeds popped 6/13/21, planted 6/14/21]Hi all. I'm doing an Organic Grow of four Blue Amnesia Autos, and right away I ran into a problem. I've bought Kelp Meal, powdered Aloe Vera Gel, and several other things including this ("Organic Barley Flour"). Trouble is, it does not say whether or not it's "Malted", or partially sprouted, prior to Grinding. The difference being, that "Malted" barley releases the desirable enzymes. I do not know, but the way it was explained to me, it makes a world of difference. Does anyone know: If I use this as Top Dressing (along with Kelp meal), will it work? Or will it create a sticky Mess & ruin my Grow?

I am working on an organic grow, first time, so I am of course still learning!Any suggestions, RE: Fertilizing with an Organic Grow? I'm new at this.
I am working on an organic grow, first time, so I am of course still learning!
For me, I used Coast of Maine Platinum organic soil and I did not give my plants anything for around the first 30 days because all they needed was in the soil. I did both top dress and made a tea from worm castings and a tbsp of molasses to boost the microbe production, that was it. When I noticed the soil was starting to get depleted, I began to fertilize with the Roots Organics Terp Tea program I am currently using. The plants seem to love it.
Also, I learned this the hard way but if you are in "hot" soil, it can be too hot for seedlings. I had a similar problem early on and ended up transplanting from the 4" peat pots I started in to a 1/2 gal plastic pot with regular soil and flushed. This cleared up the problem and then I later transplanted them into the 5 gal. pots of the hot soil and they did great. They were in the 5 gal pots for about 3 1/2 weeks before they needed anything besides cal/mag, which I have to use because I use all distilled water.
I'll post a close-up pic tomorrow, but again - I'm not concerned about it. If need be, I'll just plant a new one.Lets have a close up on that one please.
I finally settled in on the Roots Organics Terp Tea lineup, there are 4 blends that make up that nutrient system. My plants seem to like it a lot. I am currently in day one of week 2 flower so just getting into the bloom transition.Any other nutes you're using?
Roots organics terp tea dry amendments!! Along with a blast of microbes and fungi that help your roots and make nutrients available for your plants. Recharge, fish shit (it’s a product), orca, and what else am I forgettingMY FIRST ORGANIC GROW [seeds popped 6/13/21, planted 6/14/21]
Four Blue Amnesia Autoflowers. 2 planted in FFOF soil, 2 planted in (Mixed) soil. All four fortified with Humic acid granules, Dr. Earth Flower Girl, and of course a hefty dose of Perlite. Fertilizing with Kelp Meal and Barley Flour, with powdered Aloe Vera gel and Silica Blast > (these two mixed in with every watering). Note the shriveled one on the lower right. It was the slowest of the 3 to sprout. Now it's "cringing", possible because of something in the soil - but I'm going to give it a chance to live. If it dies or languishes, I'll replace it with a Lowryder seed.
Any suggestions, RE: Fertilizing with an Organic Grow? I'm new at this.

I ended up getting the Bloom Booster and my wife bought the Microbe Charge for her garden and she is going to share. The Bloom Booster isn't used, I believe, until the 4th week of flower through week 6, with zero added nutrients during week 7 and 8. That part I guess can change depending on what strain you are growing, basically the way I understand it is you don't feed the last two weeks of flower.terp tea dry amendments!!
Here's the Afflicted one, today June 25th. It's recovering pretty well. I think it'll make it.I'll post a close-up pic tomorrow, but again - I'm not concerned about it. If need be, I'll just plant a new one.
June 29th. It's only been 4 days, but things are moving along splendidly. I'm going to add Alfalfa Meal to the mix of Top Dressing on schedule with the rest of the fertilizers on July 3rd (once weekly). I'm told Alfalfa Meal is a little Hot and may burn my plants, so I'll begin with one Teaspoon per pot & work up from there. The Sickly one is still Sickly but I'm still giving it a chance. I think the seed itself was Doomed, from the start (slow/reluctant Germination), but you never know.Here's the Afflicted one, today June 25th. It's recovering pretty well. I think it'll make it.

The alfalfa meal (like most organic meals) will take awhile to breakdown and become plant available. If you’re looking for a quick (weekly) boost you’ll be better soaking alfalfa in water and then feeding this to your plants. I only do 1 cup/5 gal water, with 1/4 cup kelp meal and don’t notice any burning. (I’m using pellets at the moment and think that there’s definitely more than 1 cup of meal after the pellets expand and break apart.)June 29th.
