Do you believe in Mammoth P?

Unfortunately I found mammoth p no increase in weight or resin production and buds that were less dense and definitely more fox tailed might work on tomatoes but I didnt find it to have any value for canabis

Same results. Def wood not spend the big bucks to buy Mammoth. I got free samples yrs ago and was happy they offer it as samples to try. But as far as if I could tell there wasn't any noticeable difference. For my microbes I'd rather spend the xtra time and brew up my own aact or sst teas. Brewing ur own aact teas will give u by far more variety of microbes than using mammoth. Save that money and buy a decent air pump, and stones and brew your own magical potion for them ladies.

I prefer tribus over mammoth p. Both helped tremendously when used from early veg through flower at a 5 ml/g feed every other watering.

I started using Tribus recently. One thing I noticed within a few days of adding Tribus to a fresh reservoir, I had some slightly burned leaf tips for the first time in the entire grow.

Not suggesting Tribus did that directly, but that it makes me less skeptical about claims of improved nutrient uptake.

I need to do a side by side clone run with and without Tribus to see if I can detect any difference.

I recall reading that the Mammoth P microbes took so long to become established to the point of being beneficial that most plants would be already finished flowering.

Maybe for living soil or for moms or 5 month flowering sativas they'd be useful?

It's been a while since I did a bunch of reading on the subject, but I recall concluding that my garden would receive no significant benefit.

Wow. Atleast the ml is higher than mammoth. Do u have any aact tea recipes u would like to share on my thread or other amendments that would be proactive next round?

5 gallon bucket, a 2 hose fish pump, a delicate laundry bag at Wal-Mart to hold all the items, good water, molasses, worm castings, aloe gel, coconut water, sum grass clippings like clovers, leaves, dandelions, nettles, for a decent veg tea. Hell just water, molasses, aloe, coconut water, & worm castings will give u a quality tea for veg or early flower. That why I like it so much is the various things u can throw into your mix. Use the delicate laundry bag like a tea bag. Brew for 24hours. When 24 hours is up remove tea bag and mix at half strength with water to add to ur plants. Next day u wil see tgem perk up and be 🙏 towards light. Never did mammoth make my plants perk up after using it. In fact I had either spots or burnt leaf tips after using mammoth. After the first use of mammoth I ditched it from using it on my ganja plants. It got used on compost pile and veggies. Can help u with aact teas and sprouted seed tea if u got any questions Terpy Tyrone. Just HMU dude.👍✌

I don't know your growing medium, but you don't have to start using it brand new with a new plant, you can put a plant in some established media that already has the microbe action happening. I can see how living soil would be the first go to. I have some coco that's been 'cooking' for about a month now.

Edit: I don't use Mammoth P, was just a general statement.

While I can understand the appeal of organics, livings soils, etc, it doesn't match up well with my available resources. The lazy man KISS style fits well with my space and time, that's why I said MP wouldn't benefit my garden. It would be interesting to experiment with given more room. Hopefully in just a few years. :)

What is your media, and what do you do with it when you are done?

It’s a microbe that Colin Bell “discovered” by taking hundreds of different soil samples and finding which microbes were the most efficient at converting phosphorous to phosphate, isolating the phosphorous-fixing microbes and then running those microbes through a ton of different stress tests, everything from harsh soil environments to freezing cold temperatures. The singular microbial community that withstood all these stress tests, was then concentrated into a solution and sold as Mammoth P.

Phosphorous is notorious for binding too carbon or mineral sources in the medium, The microbes in Mammoth P take phosphorous out your medium, whether it already be in your soil or added in through fertigation, and converts it to phosphate, which is much easier for plants to uptake. I’ve found that increasing the amount of phosphorous I’m feeding improves the effectiveness of mammoth P. In my experience, it is pretty effective. Also, there aren’t many microbes commonly used that isn’t included in Real Grower’s Recharge and I like to have as diverse a microbial population as possible. It was actually Scotty from Real Grower’s who turned me onto Mammoth P. I had asked him about additives that are often used for Cannabis and how I was realizing that a lot of the commonly used products (molasses, kelp, fulvic acid, humid acid, Mycorrhizae, trichoderma) and he said mammoth p is a microbial product he recommends using as well, while all the others I had asked about were duplicitous.

Whether or not it’s worth the cost, is subjective. I don’t think it’s a must-have product by any means, but I don’t use very many additives, really just recharge and mammoth P. I don’t use it with every feed either, I use it every other feed. I usually buy mine from the same source, a grow store that sells on eBay for ~$60 for 240ml. It’s always been within a month or so from the manufacturer date.

Good stuff. I like using Recharge as well as a microbe product I received a sample of called Athena Biosis. I don't use them every time, but here and there...sprinkle a bit on top of the coco and water in.
