Lactic acid bacteria serum (LABSlactic acid bacteria serum More) can be a great way to take your living soils to the next level. My favorite part about them is that there is no need to buy another product, lactic acid bacteria are all around us! They’re in the air, on the floor, on your skin, and even in your gut. All we really have to do is make a culture of them and add to the soil, but why go through the trouble?
LABSlactic acid bacteria serum More produce a basic building block for terpenes. “Terps” are what make cannabis smell and taste the way it does. The more terpenes you have, the better the experience for most people. Terpenes also have therapeutic value on their own, like Beta-Carophyllene (mentioned in this article). Most patients want more terpenes.
Yields can also be increased because LABSlactic acid bacteria serum More break down nutrients into plant usable forms. The more nutrients available to the plant the more likely they are to achieve their maximum potential. That sounds like a no-brainer as well.
LABSlactic acid bacteria serum More also help keep a healthy balance of microbial life in your soil. Because it is a protected environment, it is possible for your container of soil to get ‘sour.’ You can’t smell it necessarily, but if a colony of non-beneficial gets going it can create problems for your plants. Therefore, adding a supply of these beneficial bacteria to your soil from time-to-time can be a great way to maintain the balance.
Avoid salt based fertilizers in your organic soils. If it is a liquid based fertilizer with a N-P-K value (e.g. 2-10-3) on the front of the bottle, it is almost certainly salt based. These salts will murder bacteria by the billions. Once the massacre is over, bad bacteria are more likely to take up residence. Save yourself the trouble and just steer clear. If the additive doesn’t show the specific ingredients, puff-puff-pass it by and select something better for your bacteria.
Finally, the best news of all is that you can make your own concentrated LABSlactic acid bacteria serum More very inexpensively. All three of the articles below offers recipe’s to do so, as well as advice for application. I’ve certainly noticed a difference in my garden.
Happy Harvests!
