      Indeed it is, but when culturing lactobacillus, most recipes for whey/milk are highly prone to infection and things going wrong due to the open aerobic methodology. The non whey way to make em1 is not only more cost effective, but one batch will produce many more. And it’s pretty much impossible to mess a batch up.

    Hello @John and @everyone . I've got a question. I'm using EM-1 in my Cannabis garden and I've heard people saying you should not spray your plants during flower. Is there any reason why I should not spray my plants during flower other than it can affect the taste? I would like to try using it as a foilar during my plants entire life-cycle both veg and flower. Do you believe the EM-1 would affect the cannabinoids in a negative way if I use it as a foilar during flower? What's your oppinion and thoughts on this one? Thank you!

      It's a year later, I'm sure you figured it out by now, but to answer this for others:
      The reason it is commonly discouraged to foliar spray in flower is due to the increased susceptibility to cause mold conditions in the flower buds, due to excessive moisture.

My question is the preparation for both is very different Boogie im aerating a bucket, while EM-1 was more like a fermenting process in a glass jug with an airlock burper so wouldnt that be promoting anaerobic bacteria thats bad?? Also EM-1 you add molasses to feed the microbes and accelerate the process, will adding molasses to your Boogie Brew do the same and improve the results?

    Really man, you've got to educate yourself. I've offered to help you a number of times over the past several years. EM1 should ideally be fermented for 5 to 7 days prior to use. The microbes in ACT and EM fermentations have different functions. They work best used in tandem. EM is more a soil conditioner, working to degrade toxins and matter in the soil [as you mention] I most often use it prior to planting and after harvest. The microbes in ACT are nutrient cyclers and are best applied during plant growth. Boogie Brew? come on.
