Can a plant...any plant break down milk protein....or am I just being and idiot and this is some kind of joke post???????I don't want to sound like a dick but....oh hell I don't even know to say I'm at a loss sorry man.
ok- i just got off the phone with a nice lady from mbnutes. they sell a hydrolyzed (partial broken down) whey protein. she directed me to a chart that lists the amount per gallon. she couldn't answer any of the scientific questions i had on whether there's any studies that show whether a plant can break down hydrolyzed animal protein into the base amino acids but would have a tech rep get in touch with me. i'll let you know the answer. here's the chart:http://www.mbnutes.com/media/mbnutes_feed_chart.pdf
Isn't the whey protein...or any protein for that matter...really microbe food. Then the microbes recycle it to plant available food.
I would not use this at all in hydro. Any aminos in a res will bring life if there is any carbon present at all...if it stays aerobic ok, but if it goes anaerobic look out.
In a soil grow I can see it being one of the sources of N, but I would use a diversity if you are going the amino way. Just like humans feeding microbes a diverse amino profile will make them healthier.
yer right sam- any organic or carb in a hydro system is risky unless you use beneficial bacteria in your rez or tank and change out solutions every 2 weeks or so. also, according to the dosing chart, you only use 1/4 gram per gallon, hardly enough for a bacterial explosion.
Hey saggy we allready covered that topic in another tread made by u =)
Rember i told about my findings and what concentrations i use and rates plus at what time.
First u need to get the math correct - how much aminoacids are there pr 100g in you whay- then dilute so u have a concentration of 10% amino acids.
Rember aminoacids are equal to nitrogen in u feed program and a 10% stock solution will represent to 1% N in solution, 1-0-0 NPK wise.
Aminos chelate nutritens and is best used in foliar applications
If u drench it to the soil u feed mircos boosting nutrient uptake -
Application of Aminos give rise to shiney green leaves it fore some reason it gives a shine to the leafs hope u understand my english
Btw why dont u source some hydrolised soya bean that is what most nutrient formulators use here in europa
Also i think the reason AN adds aminos to there big buds is because like 1 wrote u get big guns = big buds = good marketing to pot heads that most off the time dont know what they are adding to there plants, sry if i offend any bigbud user =)
