I've been using soluble enzyme powder in my recycling soil bin for over a year; sourced from kelp for less. I've only bought a couple ozs of it cuz it's mad pricey at $19/oz but it does seem to promote a healthy root system & help with absorption. I want to say it works awesome but then again so does everything in my mix so I can't really tell of its working or what it's doing. I do feel great about it though & my plants look amazing; super frosty buds & happy plants that pray to me... Here's a shot of a vanilla kush bud finishing up:

Malted seed are seeds that already sprouted then are dried at about 110 degrees for a day. You just puree then add to water and aerate for an hour . So no need to sprout them. They're already sprouted

I use popcorn and just recently did a cannabis sst. I'm going to try alfalfa next, then flax seed. Each seed provides different enzymes.

Any takers?

I broke down and bought a 5oz bag.
I've brewed 2 teas already using an 1/8 tsp per 5gal. It foamed after an hour, but it didn't go nutz like homemade does.
It's micronized and highly water soluble so it can be sprayed too.
I do like it, but I'm still conflicted on which is better. My girls are all praying, but they do that anyways so it's hard for me to say.
I think the real test is going to be how fast does my 40 gallon recycling barrel break down the rootballs in it.

Or am I missing the natural growth hormones with the purchased product, hormones I know are in the fresh made SST?

The SST's have a lot of enzymes and plant growth proteins I am unsure if that powder has the same, I use the seeds.

The products everyone mentions sound like they work well, but there is no need to go to that expense to add enzymes. mix a tablespoon of maple syrup, coconut water, mountain dew or just spit into a gallon of water and you'll add enzymes. Chew a piece of fruit first if you're going to use your spit. You could even use beer. Guinness works best.

I've used beer!!!!!!
I let a can or 2 sit out for days or a week. Add the whole thing to a 5er. I've also used bread yeast, but that's primarily for the protein which equates to nitrogen.
