questions about beneficial bacteria

[thelaffingman]

hey guys, i've been doing organic for about 3 runs now. i use mostly General Organics, and a few Earth Juice products (catalyst, microblast, and their soil). I was wondering what ingredients i can look for that kill the microbiology i breed in my teas (so i can avoid them). just want to make sure i'm doin everything right =)

thanks guys!!

let me elaborate, what ingredients that are in some liquid fertilizers and potting soils, cause beneficial microbiology to die?

Hard to say. Chem ferts or "organic" ferts would both play havoc with the microlife. You might want to avoid all that and look at a competent organic soil. Then relax and pocket the $ savings.

EJ will not harm any micros, in fact has some BB in there.

Don't use city water with chlorine and chloromines.... avoid any salt based ferts... don't over water.... add carbo's to the soil such as molasses. Also make sure you have good aeration in your bubbling brew and you should have great results... Also don't use any PH adjusters...learn to trust your soil.. Also you may want to look into some different brand's of Myco's... I use Humboldt Myco's Maximum and so far my plants are healthy and green, and I have yet to check ppm or PH...

Why do you want to kill the microbes and bacteria they play a huge roll with the plants roots
