I haven't tried smelling them, maybe I'll give it a try later. There wasn't much difference in root growth, but I did veg them a little too long in their pots. I tried the freeze dried coconut water against the SST with malted barley also and didnt see a difference either. They do pray when I use the SST but I also use aloe with it. Right now the SST fed plants aren't growing any faster than my water fed plants, nor are they branching out more. They've all been in the same bed now for a little over a week, still no difference.

Try corn seed. I don't use barley either. I used to sprout mung beans for sst. I'm liking the results from the corn seed best.

yup, many times, used sunflower seeds, and legumes, also have done the short cut of cocowater.
I used to do them often, but the last three runs I haven't, and haven't really noticed any differences, so I haven't bothered with it.
Not knocking it at all, just a lot of work for a busy guy like me..
I don't do any teas anymore.. unless something out of the ordinary happens, but i'm really happy with the results i'm getting.

they work well, actually very well.
I liked mine more than the legume mix I did.
SSTs are some good shit, I just am a lil lazy to do it, a much of the reason is simply because my back is shitty, and lifting/straining water isn't exactly therapeutic...
I cheat, and use pure cocowater.
same shit.. easier too.
Only thing is it's loaded with potassium and I don't like to add that to my soil

i use coconut water too man. haven't made one SST yet lol. I've been alternating coconut, aloe, and liquid kelp to keep it diverse. they all have enzymes... right? just different ones

yea, the cocowater is basicly a sprouted seed tea.i use coconut water too man. haven't made one SST yet lol. I've been alternating coconut, aloe, and liquid kelp to keep it diverse. they all have enzymes... right? just different ones
the aloe and kelp are different, but equally good
I use aloe a lot.
Just remember if you do give them cocowater, that it has a good amount of potassium in it, and depending on your soil, you may want to go lightly on that, contrary to popular belief, cannabis doesn't use a bunch of potassium, and if your soil is amended with a good amount, adding water soluble potassium can be bad...
Don't ask me how I know.... I went a lil overzealous with weekly BSM feedings a couple yrs ago.

do you use comfrey?i use coconut water too man. haven't made one SST yet lol. I've been alternating coconut, aloe, and liquid kelp to keep it diverse. they all have enzymes... right? just different ones
that's some good shit too.
Easy as hell to grow, you could teach a blind monkey with a learning disability to grow comfrey.
It's got all kinds of good stuff in it, way beyond the NPK, sorta like kelp meal in that regard

it's the easiest plant I've ever grown.i'm gonna order an organic dry lb on amazon until i can grow some for my own and use it in teas. i had some herb borage plants i grew from seed that i mulched with the lawnmower and put in my compost pile
So easy to clone.
I wish cannabis was as hearty as comfrey.

didn't see this first post.
currently i am feeding with vegamatrix products in an unamended soil (other than gypsum, rock dusts, and OSF). so maybe that's why i haven't been seeing any issues with the potassium. i've been doing microbial inoculations weekly to keep the soil active. having a great run at it so far with vegamatrix! my first batch of living soil will be ready to go in 2 weeks.

I recently got all overzealous with the Pro-Tekt and concur with your observation.

LMFAO!!! AN has problems as everybody who ACTUALLY developed the formulations has QUIT or been FIRED! Most of the technical employee's are sick of his shit and his BS claims! These people were directed by the owner TO water down and separate things into supplements FOR marketing! This info is listed in the lawsuit fillings.....in NY I believe but, could be wrong on the state of Fillings.......Lmao!
If you don't believe this guy just look at "big mikes" Instagram. It's easy to tell where your thousands of dollars (for nutrients, mind you)are going..
His planes and pot girls will have you going coo coo for coco puffs
I wish people would wake up and at least stop using THIS line.. They're a great example of a rip off market scheme with an ass hat in charge who flaunts his bullshit for no reason
Most of those are suing the shit out of the Pedophile for just that reason and one (The actual formulator and developer of some of the product) has started up his own company and line of nutrients on formulations that actually look GOOD, without a shit load of useless supplements or being watered down! The guy is actually banging the exgf of the AN owner and she IS smok'in! I met them by chance at a very well known W MI Grow shop...
Thought you all might like that info! LOL
Doc
That's extremely good news I hope hopefully all the other AN followers will see the truth behind all of it and see what we all have been saying since day one AN sucks
