Great work Hyroot. Much respect.
Yeah not bad at all grower....................cute cat, is that one of your "hot" girlfriends???
.........lol
i do the dark period for a day or 2. It causes calyx swell up more and buds become more resinous.. I let the soil dry for the fade. Makes for smoother smoke, more pungent taste and smell
Yikes. Keep a close eye out for aphids. Ants are farmers, too...

I had a few ants crawling around my veg space the other day. I just dusted a little diatomaceous earth around the crack they were coming through. Haven't seen one since..
Weigh out 2 oz. of Barley seed and remove any foreign matter by the seeds into a large jar and fill it half-way with water and agitate to wash the barley. Pour off loose husks & dirt that float to the top. Drain in a colander. Repeat until everything has been removed.
Soak the seeds in water for 8 - 10 hours. Drain the seeds and weigh after completely draining the water off. Assuming you started with 56 grams, you want to hit a minimum of 84 grams at the end of these processes.
Let the Barley rest for 8 - 10 hours and then soak for another 8 hours, drain and weigh. Repeat if necessary but that's not too unlikely.
Take a piece of cloth and you want to use something as 'raw' as possible like hemp cloth, organic cotton, linen, canvas, flax, etc. - just check with a large fabric store. If you buy a piece that is a square it probably helps or doesn't.
Wet your cloth, wring out and fold it 2 times. During the rest cycles this is where you want to let the seeds rest. You want moisture surrounding the seeds but not water.
Once you hit 84+ grams, spread your seeds again in the middle of this folded piece of fabric, place that in a brown paper bag - 55F - 65F ambient temperatures will move this along quickly.
When the shoots inside the seed have grown the length of the seed you're done. You're not growing sprouts but rather activating the enzymes and the compounds in the endosperm as described in the post above.
Take these seeds and put them in a blender and some water and get it to a puree to the extent possible. Using 56 grams to start will give enough puree to make 5 gallons of tea.
Water your plants with this diluted tea. This will give you far, far more enzymes than the straight sprouting method.
Sup Hyroot?
I'm curious why you're bubbling the seed sprout tea. Have you tried applying it right after blending and diluting? Seems to me like the enzmymes produced when the seed germinates would be at their highest concentrations right after blending. I am by no means an expert on seed sprout teas, but that's just where my brain went....
Cheers
Yeah. Dormant means just sleeping not dead. If it dries, when the VC gets wet. The microbes wake up and get to action.
