Greenleaf Sweet Candy - Snake oil or great stuff?

[Proph]

Does your expectation of usefulness apply to a coco grow not much dependent on microorganism processing of the Sweet Candy ingredients? If it is useful in coco, is that because plants absorb the ingredients directly, or because there is more microorganism activity in coco than I think? Thanks for your help Prophetico, I appreciate it.

When dealing with water soluble nutes (powder form) or nutes like MC in general, the medium doesn't really matter. The nutes are immediately available to the plant. These types of nutrients are like having the plant hooked to an IV line. It's getting fed whether it's hungry or not.. Sweet candy doesn't rely on microbes to breakdown the ingredients and make them available. They are immediately available.

I would think unless you're running something sterile whether using cocoa or soil or whatever there's going to be microorganisms of all kinds

Straight coco coir does not have any natural microbe life in it. Coco has lignins, that promote/support microbes.. But microbe life is added to coco..

I'll usually expand my bricks of Coco a few weeks ahead of time by then there's microorganisms that have started

I don't get it.. Microbe life just starts on its own in your coco? What are they feeding on to stay alive? What kind of microorganisms are we talking about? If what you're saying is true, then coco would be better than living organic soil.. If you could just water bricks of coco and then in a few days have microbes and a food source, that would be a major discovery/ development.

Well if you pre charge your Coco what have you done you put nutrients into your Coco if you put nutrient into something microorganisms are obviously going to try and eat that would they not

Unfortunately that is not how it works.. Nutrients are nutrients.. They don't create microorganisms... They provide nutritional value for the plant.. Microbes/microorganisms don't feed on bottled nutrients.. They feed on organic matter like bone meal/sugars/carbs ect. Im still not sure how your getting microorganisms in your coco without adding them yourself..[/QUOTE]
