My knowledge of bacteria in ewc and soil. You must have living organisms to create AACT.Trippa said:Based on?
Can you get any fresh worm castings or good compost? They will both have lots of beneficial bacteria.

ÂProud Marine Dad said:Give it a try. Do you have access to a microscope? Brew it for 48 hours and then look at it under a microscope and you can see if there are bacterial colonies or not.
If no microscope then use it and see if it does anything. If you brew compost tea and let it sit for several hours the bacteria do not go dormant, they die.
I am not sure how they bottle them dormant. I will ask the experts on another forum.
True but it could also be slick marketing as well.Celtic67 said:Â
I would guess that they may be fermenting with limited nutrients or fermenting until the nutrient source is exhausted as a nutrient shortage is what usually causes dormancy in bacteria. When a food source runs out, they can go into dormancy where they shut down their metabolic rate and therefore require very little food and oxygen and survive until a food source is available and then they kick back into life again.
I have used this product with positive results ... however I can't say if that was due to live microbe activity ..Proud Marine Dad said:True but it could also be slick marketing as well.
Does it list other ingredients? May have some NPK values to it.Trippa said:I have used this product with positive results ... however I can't say if that was due to live microbe activity ..
It is listed as a fertiliser so yes there is some NPK value to it ... however I am not sure if it listed .. I have the empty bottle somewhere ... I could just bite the bullet and get his vermicast product instead ... just harder to store is all.Proud Marine Dad said:Does it list other ingredients? May have some NPK values to it.
ÂPepper-Guru said:Well...I know yeast stores perfectly fine in a dormant state. I harvest my yeast cakes from my fermenter after each brew and just keep reusing the evolving strain for following brews, still ferments just as violently as the first pitch, even after a year has passed) Â I do wonder about other bacteria in these "microbial" products as well. Only way to know for sure is to put your goggles on and dive in!Â

I have grown both ways, have you???ColdSmoke said:Why not accept that your way isn't the only way and probably not even the best way?
Come over and look at my Canna and you decide. Water only for the entire season and probably all of next season as well without adding much. Why wouldn't you want to grow that way?Cayennemist said:Â

I still haven't seen definitive evidence that AACT is better than anaerobic methods. However, I feel that more nasties live in anaerobic environments.
Lets not get too up in each others throats.
Â
Im starting to see good results in strange places, so I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm starting to think that acclimation may be more beneficial than some of the other stuff we do.

So give it a dose of leaveitthehellalone, and watch it go. <-----Was the end of the comment but...

This has me thinking, maybe pre-building our soils should jump up in priority, this way the plant can stabilize and have less fluctuation in environment thought its live... Much like what PMD has been saying all along!
Just shows how little you know!ColdSmoke said:Anyone can grow that. That's like bragging about a hop plant. They grow like weeds...
