I originally initiated a thread relating to the practice of carbohydrate loading and brix levels in a flowering plant. This topic engaged a few very knowledgeable contributers who touched on different complex tangents in the process of posting their relevant information. I became inspired to establish a few different threads relative to the different kernels. I hope to establish a few threads having these same contributers further discuss these tangents in greater detail.
Really my intention is to engage anyone who envoy delving into the more esoteric knowledge sounding plant cultivation....
On the topic of beneficial microorganisms and their symbiotic relationship with plants:
I am now beginning to understanding that the process of 'carb-loading' primarily benefits microorganisms in the Rhizome layer adjacent to the root. Artificially providing some form of carbohydrates (Molasses, Sucrose based booster, etc.)for the microbes to convert into energy can provide significant benefit the plant. I see a lot of emphasis towards implementing this practice in the very late weeks of flowering. With my limited understanding of the two main phases of the life cycle of a plant wouldn't it be beneficial to engage these organisms earlier? (i.e pre-cutting mothers to promote rapid root development. pre-flowering, early vegetative, etc.) In my previous thread a user discussed interjecting alternate reservoirs laced with fish to assist microbe production. There was also an individual disusing brewing/fermentation processes that could support rapid production of beneficial bacteria. How beneficial can these alternative processes become? How feasible to implement?
Best!
