MammothP I thought was basically ACT (aerated compost tea)??
I didn't see any Kelp in the recipe talk/hype. It's expensive for what it is.
Look at MSDS and that tells you what's bottled stuff has in it other than water which is usually 95+% of the product. (food for thought).
I use Kelp Meal and Malted Barley I grind to a fine powder.
Kelp Meal has all the PGRs in spades. I use it in my soil mix and also grind it fine and add a 1/4 cup to a quart mason jar and let it steep and use the liquid and foiler that on the plants. Also Aloe Gel is another good source of PGRs as i PURE coconut water.
These are all organic versions of some of the magic potions we can purchase at the hydro shop.
For me cost is an issue so I prefer to spend my coins on lights and seeds.
Edit:
Was typing while you were updating. Plants look GREAT buddy. Good idea to get pots off cold floor. Will make a difference in flower for sure.
Thanks so much Bobrow! Very well put!
The Kelp is a must when I can afford it as well as maybe some molasses instead of honey but i've nailed what looks to be a winning system with the Mammoth P and Honey.
Mixing microbes with synthetics seems to be hit or miss, and the guys that run the same base as I have not reported a gain from using it. Too many variables changed for me to say but I can tell by behavior they are loving something
If you notice I have almost completely switched to powders from bottled nutrients. Mammoth P is microbes mainly bacillus strains if I remember right, that act as a metabolic helper in plants uptake and usage of phosphorus.
I only own it as it was a sample from the local grow store, stuff is way expensive, and I found a video to extend it a couple rounds with simple sugars.
My base Jacks(Peters) is an agricultural product that has proven superior to many others for a lot of ppl at a cost you wouldn't believe.
It's like $100 for 2-25#bags (The base is a two part with Epsom Salt completing the mix for most cannabis strains and was designed by Mel Frank). You may know all this already for all I know
At 3g/gallon it basically lasts forever. I got the 4# first and will get the 25# from now on, just wanted the convenient buckets but after cost analysis was a dumb purchase. it's not much more for the 25# in the first place... I shake my head sometimes at the expense ppl pay, but I haven't tried a side by side of say all AN products as labelled against mine etc.
All I know is this, when building computers we search for bottlenecks in the process. For analogy we could say we have too much light to continue because the C02 level is not high enough, or we cannot use enough light because the temp is too high.
In nutrition I find it very interesting that folks who use Jacks rarely show an increase in yield with many bloom boosters and even Mammoth P from the Breeder at Square 1, which tells me it's a very complete nutrient regime allowing the plant to express as it should in the given environment.
The other thing I believe to be the success this round is not so much the Mammoth P but the just the whole system, and it's only going to get better as I add things like Kelp, maybe some silica but I really want to see how high brix we can achieve this way.
Also, something I haven't discussed that i'm repeating and i'm glad I thought of it, i'd like your opinion.
By necessity, i've "deep topped" most of the girls going into flower, I did this last time and it seems like it gives it time for the stems to get thicker, roots to grow more and hence, bigger buds. I was just stalling but ended up with a nice little find I think...just gotta make sure they don't end up root bound right lol.
Cheers my friend and thanks for posting as well the kind words!
I talk to myself all day and type to myself at night.
