Its different than EM-1, but cant say if it is worth the price… to me, I like malted barley. It’s cheap and contains phosphatase to break down phosphates.

The bottle I got was 70 bucks. Still full after all the applications I’ve done

I suppose if I were only using it on my mj it would expire before I even used a 1/4 of the bottle. Since it works on all types of plants it will cover my entire yard many times over. So if it works it’s very economical. An entire year of veggies and flower beds in my huge yard. Just the effect on my pansies that I’ve been throwing extra on, I’m pretty certain it works. Especially since I’ve received my soil test back, they wouldn’t have performed that well in my lacking soil.

iirc, the Mammoth Man up there acknowledges that using the product is mega dosing at each application, laying down a LOT of their 4 specific PSB’s…and he says or i read or 
they tend to die down to a resident population much smaller…OR overwhelm the existing microbes, eat them, then die down… either way…it has it’s use for sure, but long-term, no-till, natural, etc. living soil types won’t really see the same benefit, the 16% yield gain.
i’m not 
poo-pooing the P, just sayin’ 70$/yr isn’t in my toolkit for bugs. 
that’s a week of better eatin’!

I’d like to see what you read on that as the man up there simply said it will drift if you try to bubble a compost tea with it and try to indefinitely replicate it. He said doing it for a year would probably work, but to go back to the original source for the best results.
For a 16% extra yield for an entire garden. At 70 bucks a year I just don’t think it’s expensive. I spend more in a weekend eating out, to each his own.

Wonder what would happen if you used both? It would be interesting to see that experiment. Or one with malted barley and one with P. Haha! I must like experiments
Oh another question @ReikoX… I was trying to figure out what exactly the difference was with vs. barley and malted barley. From what I could tell malted barley was already sprouted and ground for you? Kind of the difference between grinding your own coffee beans vs already ground? Am I understanding correctly? Malted is just a couple steps quicker?

Ya I think that’s the 500 size or 1/2 liter iirc

Yes, malted means they sprout it then dry it in a kiln to halt the process at peak enzyme activity. It’s not ground and looks very similar to barley seeds. This is used to brew beer and they have it down to a science. You want a basic two-row malted barley.
It’s way faster and easier than sprouting it myself. I have done both. I grind it right before use in an old coffee grinder, sprinkle it on top and water in with some fulvic and aloe.

Do you do this weekly?

I have always used barley for beer, so it doesn’t really matter, but how do you dry the barley, after the soak, to prevent mold? If it is dried too slow, it can.
Yeah, once a week is about right. I use about a tablespoon per 5-gallons of media.
When I sprout them myself, I simply grind them with some water and a submersion blender. Strain and use that with my water. I dont dry it when I sprout it myself.

…and I’d love to deliver! 
rewatching that one didn’t help me.
Maybe I should clarify; Applying MammothP regularly is akin to fertilizing in that you’re putting more stuff in there than otherwise would be there. In this case it’s their 4 PSBs they found in native US soils & isolated based on performance. So when you dump them on the plant it should get more P than w/o it.
here’s a newer one to check out:

Wednesday is watering day. All the girls got a light feed with MegaCrop and the experimental 2 got weekly Mammoth P dose… Fem mix with P has preflowers forming. I’ve been putting them all out in the direct sun for at least a week or so now during the day. I put them back in the greenhouse at about 4 pm every day.

Raining today, so group shot
Back left, DD no P, fem mix with P in the front. That one DD hardly has leaves. Just didn’t grow any.

They are all winter mini me’s, but everything out there looks super happy and healthy today after their feed. I’m gonna run a new set of autos in the veggie patch when I do the spring planting just to see if it was the amount of sun hours stunting them (probably). We still don’t even have 12 hrs for maybe 2 more weeks.
@ReikoX is that fem mix an Indica dom?

It’s a milti-poly-hybrid, that being said all the “females” were Divyders and they do stay short.

Since I’ve only grown Blue Dream in the past (regulars and autos) that’s the only strain I have to compare these to. Anyway, it doesn’t seem like these are heavy feeders, so far they are about the same as the Blue Dream. I suppose I will really find out when they are in full flower, but at this point they don’t seem to be unusually hungry. My 3 starter cherry tomatoes want more nutes than these 3. Man am I gonna learn a lot about nutrients once I put these darn tomatoes in the ground in a couple weeks. I have a feeling I will have to Cal/Mag the hell out of them. lol
Edit: Wait! I have to Cal/Mag the hell outta my veggie patch and flower beds anyway according to the soil test. Still tomatoes are hungry little suckers so far.
