Again great post,hence the name Mister Postman.I dont think its of topic a bit.I beleive this[with the okay of the thread starter]has just turned into one big organics growing discussion.And were not even discriminating against the refine mineral growers their info is relavant here to.Any thread where new ideas are born and info that some people havnt seen b4 comes into light is invaluble as far as im concerned no matter how off topic.Hmmm interesting only so many in the innoculants survive.But the rest simply die and get eaten by their stronger brothers and sisters do they not?Thats how that whole ecosystem works a balance must be maintained otherwise the colony would outgrow its enviroment and the entire colony would perish.The herd can only be as large as the amount of food present.They run out of food,the weak become the food and therefore the strong survive and the colony is maintained.Ive heard alot of people downing the soluble innoculants saying alot of what you buy is already dead.That is the same thing the dead ones just become food helping the others to thrive.How the hormones and enzymes come into play is a whole other science Ive yet to learn about but am eager to.Anyone with some good hormone info that could post it up would be the man of the hour!!Thanxx, Gromer.
