I think adding AACT to a healthy living soil is going to provide a boost to the local microbe population through an influx of readily digestable food (ie. microbe cannabalism and residual carbohydrates), leading to an increase of plant available nutrients, uptaken as needed. A bit of conjecture, still reinforcing the basics and absorbing as much information as I can when I can.
I usually advise keeping things simple until you understand the impact of added or substituted ingredients. Example, kelp.
Kelp meal - 0.25% max. [Less is more!]
NOTE:This is a maximum amount of kelp and you can experiment using less. This is using regular grade kelp meal for livestock. If you have soluble kelp, I recommend using smaller amounts. Sometimes kelp meal can initially delay bacterial multiplication. - Tim Wilson
And his research continues, recently on his forum he raised the issue of kelp meal and the potential to feed anaerobic bacteria in badly designed brewers. As well, I know he routinely waters with AACT on his farm where I would think his soil is thriving with life.
Another example, the fairly common substitution of honey for molasses, something many people do but few look into the potential effect, which is quite obvious after a very short web search.
The reasoning for this hair splitting is simple. If you don't know the proportions or effect an ingredient will have, why add it until you do? A quick browse through a couple dozen "DIY" recipes found here and elsewhere is reason enough to question if anyone actually thinks about what their doing or just looks at AACT as the organic version of a bottle of food.
Just for kicks, ask the grow store owner what function the guano serves? I've always been confused about it's addition and put it down to the pot grower ideology of force feeding nutrients. But then, trying to increase the nutrient value of tea equates to a misunderstanding of its purpose...
I was going to put a post-it on the my monitor, "Be less of a prick", but I know it would just lead to a fight with the idiot who put it there.
