Do you use enzymes in your organic garden

Feed store and brewers supply both have been successes for me as far as a cheap supply goes and i live pretty much on the fringe of modern civilization lmao

Yep for the cost of a bottle of superthrive i can make 2 years of my organic replacement at the feed store.

Look up Flying Skull's Z7......very cheap, but very effective.

I've been using soluble enzyme powder in my recycling soil bin for over a year; sourced from kelp for less. I've only bought a couple ozs of it cuz it's mad pricey at $19/oz but it does seem to promote a healthy root system & help with absorption. I want to say it works awesome but then again so does everything in my mix so I can't really tell of its working or what it's doing. I do feel great about it though & my plants look amazing; super frosty buds & happy plants that pray to me... Here's a shot of a vanilla kush bud finishing up:

Looks great.......

I use SST's in my living organic soil, works great so far, I use malted barley as my seeds and sprout them in about 3 days.

Malted seed are seeds that already sprouted then are dried at about 110 degrees for a day. You just puree then add to water and aerate for an hour . So no need to sprout them. They're already sprouted

I use popcorn and just recently did a cannabis sst. I'm going to try alfalfa next, then flax seed. Each seed provides different enzymes.

Any takers?

I broke down and bought a 5oz bag.
I've brewed 2 teas already using an 1/8 tsp per 5gal. It foamed after an hour, but it didn't go nutz like homemade does.
It's micronized and highly water soluble so it can be sprayed too.
I do like it, but I'm still conflicted on which is better. My girls are all praying, but they do that anyways so it's hard for me to say.
I think the real test is going to be how fast does my 40 gallon recycling barrel break down the rootballs in it.

Or am I missing the natural growth hormones with the purchased product, hormones I know are in the fresh made SST?

The SST's have a lot of enzymes and plant growth proteins I am unsure if that powder has the same, I use the seeds.

The products everyone mentions sound like they work well, but there is no need to go to that expense to add enzymes. mix a tablespoon of maple syrup, coconut water, mountain dew or just spit into a gallon of water and you'll add enzymes. Chew a piece of fruit first if you're going to use your spit. You could even use beer. Guinness works best.

I've used beer!!!!!!
I let a can or 2 sit out for days or a week. Add the whole thing to a 5er. I've also used bread yeast, but that's primarily for the protein which equates to nitrogen.
