The information is already widely available. Check out bioresource technology you can find it on science direct. Read it and you'll have all your Anwsers. Research sneh goyal, ak dhull, and Kk kapoor.or research microbiology and chemical and biological changes during composting.

Oh, you answered my question without posting...hahaa

The problem with using info like that is there are different amounts depending on how long you 'cook' and if you give them a good environment to live and multiply. Also, I will inoculate with Caps beneficials, which will also multiply and vary depending on how much I use. Different sources might also have different microbiology.

Sad too say that is the kind of information you'll receive back and have too compile together on your own. It would help you too give all that a nice long read regardless.

I honestly did not know that, thanks. I will give those a read and also use it as info when I give the lab a call to see if they can give me anything more detailed.

It still wouldn't hurt to get 1 lab analysis to see how they produce with Caps bennies. There not very expensive right??

Some companies claim they need a carrier or some $h!t like that. I don't believe it... That ironic thing is most those products kick ass I just don't want the filler

Dr. Earth uses propagules. Please explain why to look for one but not the other. :) Inquiring minds want to know!

Propagules are pieces or part of the bacteria or fungus and spores are seeds......propagules are like cuttings that may or may not grow and spores are seeds more likely to grow culture hopefully squiggly or some other brainiac can justify....if m right or


I hear things from smart people and once I hear them from three or four people from separate clusters I jump on board

Insect Frass is Herbaceous insect poop. It makes the plant think its covered in grasshoppers and this triggers the plant to boost its auto immune system. So it makes it extra resistant and healthy. It also has a NPK value of 2-2-2. Alfalfa meal is money, i put in the top layers of medium after the final transplant so they eat it up the first couple weeks of flowering. I believe it helps with the stretch.

Oh...its poop...

Why so many names for poop?? Guano, castings, and now frass....thats annoying.

Thanks Sea and Walt.

@WalterWiFI- Alfalfa has a natural source of Triacontanol, that shit will help stack during flower. I gotta get some alfalfa meal for this outdoor season.

What else is in alfalfa?? I'm sure there are minerals and/or vitamins of some sort.

Lots and lots of N is in alfalfa.

So many names for poop..? Probably for the same reason as there are so many names for various groups of animals. A crash of rhinos, a murder of crows, a clew of worms (saving 'clew' for my next Scrabble game with Dave, I am SO gonna kick his ass with clew!).
