Yes same measurements. . I just use corn seed. I grab organic popcorn seed from sprouts market.

Just about any seed or legume works.. I've also used barley seed, mung beans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, alfalfa seeds. I like the results of the corn seed the most.

I have heard different types of seeds produce different enzymes.I did find some information on corn seed and why it's so good.

The Enzymes are a catalyst that assist the other nutrients and help super charge your soil.

Corn is known to be high in Cytokinins.

"Cytokinins will increase the girth and tinsel strength of the side branches and stronger branches will produce larger and heavier flowers." -Clackamas Coots

Instead of buying an expensive enzyme product in a bottle, you can make your own!

Cytokinin Functions
A list of some of the known physiological effects caused by cytokinins are listed below. The response will vary depending on the type of cytokinin and plant species (Davies, 1995; Mauseth, 1991; Raven, 1992; Salisbury and Ross, 1992).

  • Stimulates cell division.
  • Stimulates morphogenesis (shoot initiation/bud formation) in tissue culture.
  • Stimulates the growth of lateral buds-release of apical dominance.
  • Stimulates leaf expansion resulting from cell enlargement.
  • May enhance stomatal opening in some species.
  • Promotes the conversion of etioplasts into chloroplasts via stimulation of chlorophyll synthesis.

I used to only use sst in veg. I noticed hyroot used it straight through flower and was pleased with results. I now give sst soaks whenever i feel it could be useful. I believe it has a postitive effect on flowering plants all the till the end. But i find it delays senescence to varying degrees depending on the variety of cannabis.

I use barley and wheatgrass seed.

Oh ok...I figured it would help the side branches well all of the from topping and training as well as a number if other things...it seems like they really do a number on plants ...I'm really excited to try them out....would it be ok to feed thsm like every other watering ...or like a feed water water feed

The teas are a kick starter for the soil or to deliver the particular nutrients you or the plant prefers. I'm down to two main teas: one for veg after transplanting and one three to four weeks in bloom. I make regular compost tea once a month as a treat.

Ya, coconut is not a seed utilized for sst.

As far as enzymes each seed has a slightly different enzyme profile but they share a core group of enzymes that intensely interact in the rhizosphere to create luxury availability of growth producing compounds. This is the basic mechanism of SST. Gardeners use sst for the enzyme action.

Bro im quite familiar w coots directions for sst. Sst is used for enzymes.
