Lactic acid bacteria

Has anyone ever fermented rice and milk to make lactic acid bacteria to feed your plants with? If so was it worth it or a waste?

Lactobacillus is fairly simple to collect and only takes about a week depending on temperature. Soup wrote an article on how the process works.

Big time decomposer that will make organic inputs plant available. Used between runs or when topdressing. Also if you need to get that nutrition in faster than usual it will help. Just don’t use it toward the end as your trying not to add plant available nutrients and with seedlings as you don’t want to start hot.

Making your own lacto culture is really easy and definitely worth the effort. Lacto is great stuff that has lots of uses around the home and garden.

Check out the article mystro posted above. 🙂👍

You should actually try using lacto in the last few weeks before harvest. I’ve heard several reports from KNF growers that claim lacto in the last few weeks really “brings the dank”.

Still something I’m experimenting with myself, but the idea does seem to have potential.

  Interesting enough to make google it lol. Something about the fatty acids being broken down by the ferment are a precursor or part of the cannabinoid synthase. Very interesting, I guess my em1 is limiting my total cannabinoid percentages. Going to have to make my own lacto i guess.

What if you inoculate the soil pre planting with LAB? I had great success using Mosquito Bits in with Poundhouse Wintermix to thoroughly spread the Bti throughout the medium, LAB might do the same or what do you think?
