Microbes.....how much to use?

[FlaDankster]

Figured the organics section would be better to ask rather than the nute and fert section,even though i use straight coco as my substrate.

I have a large amount of the following microbes and am unaware of how much i should be using.And i'm guessing i'd use it like people use great white and other microbe products and just sprinkle on roots at transplant?, or can i add to my water when mixing food?


Bacillus Licheniformis 2.5 x 109 CFU/gm
Bacillus Megaterium 2.7 x 109 CFU/gm
Bacillus Subtilis 6.3 x 109 CFU/gm
Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens 6.3 x 109 CFU/gm
Bacillus Pumilus 6.3 x 109 CFU/gm


This is all in the same bucket as 1 product.

Thanks for any help.

yes just sprinkle at transplant or if a plant seems to not be doing as well as I like I also will add it in a spike.


I get a stake and push it in the area around the stem and pour the microbes in.
It all depends on the added mix if its water soluble, usually there is added biochar or aloe or yucca , molasses then its ok to add to your feeding solution

As a rule, you want a mycorrhizal relationship established first, so I'd sprinkle mycos under the roots or mix a batch of seedling soil with mycos throughout (since a solo cup isn't that big of a waste of mycos) and water the other beneficials in after a few plain waterings. 1 teaspoon to one Tablespoon per gallon is pretty typical for these products.

When I use Great White I just sprinkle some on top of the soil and water. Sometimes I add it to the water beforehand.

All of the above. You can't use too much. -granger

Since microbes use N besides organic carbon for their processes, I think someone could use too many??

Since microbes grow exponentially, it makes little difference.

Thanks for chiming in fellas


This the information on the product i have,all 10 pds of it.


1. B. Megaterium & B. Amyloliquefaciens

Promote root growth at the beginning stage of plant's life.

2. B. Amyloliquefaciens

Antagonist to fusarium & sclerotinia.

3. B. Subtilis

Antagonist to phytophthora and pythium.



❖Improve soil symbiosis

❖Reduce bad bacteria through competitive exclusion

❖Increase root mass development to help deeper penetration into the soil for water sources, thus reducing dehydration during periods of excessive heat

❖Enable the plants to build tolerance to infestations of soil diseases

❖These specialized microbes immobilize organic and inorganic matter through an enzymatic process, which maximizes the availability of absorbable micronutrients for plant uptake and providing enzymes, metabolites, and biomass that aids in building soil structure

These microbes are phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB), a group of beneficial bacteria capable of hydrolyzing organic and inorganic phosphorus from insoluble compounds. Bacillus spp. can compete with other bacteria and fungi that can potentially affect crops adversely. These bacilli can inhibit Phyto-pathogenic attacks such as phytophthora, fusarium, verticillium, or induce-plant natural defense mechanisms to fight potential pathogenic attacks.


Mycorrhizae was mentioned.Am i covered having the B. Megaterium and B. Amyloliquefaciens or should i also be adding the mycorrhizae along with what i have?

 

[Sunshineinabag]

thats awesome! I feel lijke seeing what mother nature creates in the forests is all the proof i need if it aint broke dont fix it.

Read and follow label instructions. But yes, exponentially... I think the most important thing is that the exp. date on bottle is good. -granger
