Sprouted Seed Tea. (SST)

[MrKnotty]

Also I really love to use wheat grass seeds for my SST. They make for a great cover crop at the end of the year too!

Are you guys seeing any kind of shelf life out of your SSTs or is everyone making and using right away?

You could always buy Malted Barley seed and just grind it up with a coffee grinder and top dress and water in

Yep, I bought 10 lb bag two row malted barley seed. Dank I do exactly as you said. I have less than a pound of the malted barley seed remaining after a year of small grows. Coconut water and then just water, every three waters.

I've let mine sit up to a week with no problems. It starts to really stink though.

Just to be clear, you use MBS every third watering? To you use it along with Kashi? I’m thinking about top dressing with EWC, Kashi, and MBS next watering (it’s been a month since EWC topdress). I think Kashi does have MBS in it.

Never used Kashi, but yes, pretty much every third watering.

I was looking through he subs and couldn't find a dedicated sprouted seed tea discussion. I thought I'd share what has worked for me and probably others. I use three different kinds of seeds for my SST. Blue Corn Seed - Heirloom. Alfalfa and barley. Here is a link to i video of the basic process I have been using:

.

I have found this slurry applied a day after watering is best.I think it really gives the plants a boost in later vegging and flowering stages. I have not run into any negative effects of the process. My product is almost like Almond milk and smells of ground up grass and bread and freshness. If i let is set for a few minutes there is some slit that falls tot the bottom of the bowl.

It is also important to RINSE off the seeds before grinding and never save for more than 12 hours

Thanks! and good luck to all!

What a wonderful thread! Let me see if I can dig up my older recipes I learned awhile back! Thx for starting the thread man!
s and saves his urine 24 hours after ward to use on the gardens watered down obviously ......but it may help. Idk.

high everybody - i know this thread is old but i cant get the seed sst to work for me - i rinse then i sprout them and then i cut up the sprouts with a knife as i dont have a blender but no dice - i know it works as i sprouted seeds in a cell tray before and two pumpkins seeds were in the soil mix in one of the cells and the plant in that cell drew their energy and was bigger than the other seedlings - please help me as i know it can work

Get some "two row" whole malted barley grain. It does the same thing with much less hassle.

Measure ~1/4c of the stuff into a coffee grinder (I have one dedicated for such) and grind it as finely as you can. Top dress evenly, scratch into soil, and water in. Reapply every 2-3 weeks during flower.

When mixing a new batch of soil, use 1c/cubic foot.

thanks for the reply but im in jamaica man thatstuff is like almost unobtainium out her man

they must have malted barley in Jamaica for the red stripe!!!

If you can’t find it try Soaking popcorn, maize, alfalfa or any grains you can find around.

Rinse them, then leave in a jar filled with clean water with the lid on for 24 hours.

Next day pour out the water and put the grain back into the jar and close the lid.

Rinse and drain every day or two and they should sprout in a few days to a week depending on what grain you use.

hope that helps mate.

Hello everyone I have a question for everyone. Have any of you used pumpkinseed for sst? I tried popcorn seeds and had good results but pumpkin seeds are everywhere it will be a great resource very cheap does contain some K?

No. Maybe? In my humble opinion, "nutes" aren't the goal with making SST's or using malted barley powder to apply to the soil. It's about providing microbes with bio-available carbon.

SST's should be made with grain seed. By weight, grain seeds contain rediculously high concentrations of starch, compared to other seeds. I've read about some varieties of barley that contain upwards of 80% starch by weight. The sprouting (malting) process stimulates the production of a set of enzymes that are able to degrade the complex starch molecules into their most basic molecular chain component, glucose (C6H12O6). Soil microbes utilize that glucose as an easily absorbable form of carbon (labile carbon, vs. recalcitrant), which is the "energy" source that drives all of their biological functions. This includes cycling nutrients from the soil.

Says here that pumpkin seed is only 1.47% starch by weight...

You have a great point there, am new in this and didn't realize that difference between most seed and cereals
