mark bauer at perfect gardens.com so in this video we're going to talk about recharge versus
grow big from fox farm thank you so much mark smith for watching the videos and engaging with us
it always makes it a little bit more interesting okay so let's go ahead and look at recharge if
you haven't checked out my video about grow big i would recommend checking out our fox farm playlist
and going through in this video i'm not going to dive too heavily into grow big because i've
already done that so i'm going to dive into recharge and go into there and then at the very
end i will compare it to grow big very lightly so let's go ahead and get started so recharge it has
all these different glomus and bacterias and then it also has these two right here i don't i'm not
the best at saying them you have kelp molasses humic acid fulvic and then amino acids so let's
go ahead and dive into each of these so glomisses are focusing in on root development so as you see
plant roots and i'm not going to dive too much into explaining and describing it it's a lot of
war jargon but basically each and every one of these things are focusing on the ability to
process nutrients if it's a fungus it's going to be retrieving nutrients if it's a bacteria
it's going to be bacterias produce coenzymes for the minerals to be actually absorbed into
the plants and many videos have talked about this and in this video i'm going to talk more in depth
about it and right here you have more fungi so fungi is communication and retrieval
and then bacteria is bioavailability okay kelp right here is minerals molasses is sugars it helps
speed up the communication tumic acid is for soil structure fulvic acid is just a much more refined
humic acid so it's more it's able to it's like a key leading agent it's able to allow
nutrients to penetrate the cells of the roots a little bit easier and then you have amino acids
and amino acids are building blocks so everyone says a billion bucks so what are building blocks
right well your fingernails right when your dna is talking and it's creating these protein chains and
these protein chains is the communication to build your skin cells your fingernails your eyeballs
all that stuff so same thing with plants right if you're healthy giving it some additional
amino acids the plant it doesn't have to produce as many amino acids so you're alleviating some
of that tension and by doing that it's able to very quickly send these amino acids to different
parts of these plants and alleviate work off the plant from producing them in other areas so
when i go through these i'm basically just going to flip through them up top i'm just pointing out
that all these things this entire recharge is really for establishing a strong root system
and i would probably recommend this to be more used earlier in your grow versus later
they are telling you right here though that if you are going to be using this product with
a high phosphorus that you want to double up the strength and it's really funny because
after 900 parts per million basically begins to shut down your microbiology they're just letting
people know a lot of people use high phosphorus products but with this product the reason why i
think you don't really have to use it more in the later is because if you have a good microbiology
they will continue to keep repopulating and you don't have to keep providing more of it to your
plant anyways i've seen this product go around over the years it's a good product so as you come
through glow mist plant roots uh the rhizosphere this one right here is the glomus interactive
so this product from extreme gardening they sell the global scenarios as well as that's their main
fungi i love their product the azos the micos those products they're phenomenal i always talk
about them the barculus this one right here as you can see right here i'm still going through
biggest thing right here to be aware of is that one bacteria can produce a different coenzyme
for each of the minerals that are in your environment so there are billions of bacteria okay
and in this product they're giving you three or four bacteria so these three or four bacteria if
you have a full set of array of minerals they're capable of producing a different coenzyme for each
of these minerals so each of these bacterias will produce different coenzymes for each of
these minerals i'm going to show you a video at the end of this of how these things function
and i talk about negative ionic charges and how they work and i finally found a really great video
explains it so we're going to go through it i'm going to explain it more in depth so once again
the other bacterial as you see right here this bacteria is specific for calcium and magnesium
so right here on the other hand these phosphorus groups on the surface of b whatever can
provide negative charges on this cell surface that allowing to capture some essential captions such
as calcium 2 and magnesium that are necessary for cell life i talked a lot about magnesium
how magnesium is essential for allowing all the other coenzymes reactions to happen between the
bacterias and the macro and trace minerals in the environment so as you can see as you dive
into each of these things and if you dive into more on your own just read through it each and
every one of these things has a slightly different function right so i'm saying they're developing
your root system but there's there's many parts of your root system you have your root and then you
have the hyphae coming off that root and then you have the absorption of the minerals through the
cell membranes of your root system so some people use chelating agents when they're using synthetic
fertilizer because they don't have a microbiology helping to further break down and assist with the
ion exchanges and once again i'm going to get into this later but each of these bacterias
have a slightly different function and the scientists have been able to identify over years
that these affect your plants slightly differently as i was telling you this bacteria is affecting
your calcium magnesium and we talked about how that affects it so this one right here
so as i read through this fairly quickly i kind of realized that it's saying that this bacteria
champions in secreting enzymes so once again these scientists have realized that this bacteria
helps with the secretion of enzymes and enzymes are helping with the further breaking down and
the exchange of ion so what we were talking about before right uh bacterias produce coenzymes so
these scientists have found that this bacteria out of all the the bacterias championed the
secretion of enzymes so that's why these people put this bacteria into their product i'm going to
talk about subculture m and subculture b these are also beneficial bacterias and fungi the subculture
image the fungi and the bank and the so-called germs of bacteria and if you research each of
these and that we've reviewed some of these right here but if you research some of the fungi in the
back of the soil culture m it will talk about them specifically attacking fungi specifically
attacking powdery mildew and some video in the future i did it earlier this season i just haven't
got the chance to edit it yet i talk about how i make my foliar spray teas and i use these
products specifically the m and the b because some of the bacterias and fungi here in these
products are meant specifically for powdery mildew so i'm adding in my drops of balance
to make sure the water is clean and has trace minerals in there then i'm adding in my fungi and
my bacteria because my bacteria are going to produce coenzymes and then my fungi are going to
help with the retrieval and the communication so i'm building a foundation that is going to create
a host of beneficial bacteria and fungi that are known for attacking the issues that at times
grow on the surface of the lease which i'm talking about could be botrytis it could be powdery mildew
things along those lines so as i flip through here i talked about this one this is another fungi once
again right here large amounts of cellular enzymes we already talked about that so let me get into it
more but we're talking about how they've realized that this fungi can secrete large amounts of
celluloid enzymes and these enzymes basically help with the bioavailability of the minerals
through the root systems or through the leaves it helps permeate the leaves right so we were talking
about they use chelating agents well in a sense this fungi is in a sense a natural healing agent
because that's in the sense is what it's doing for you and remember when we use a lot of fertilizer
it makes all these fungi and bacteria dormant so that's why they have to use chelating agents
because we're replacing what these things used to do for us when our soil was alive okay so i think
we already talked about amino acids amino acids are a building blocks when you add in additional
amino acids the plants don't have to produce their own amino acids and when they don't have
to produce something themselves they can spend more time doing another function on the plant and
which ends up being faster growth larger flower development the oil production doesn't get reduced
a lot of people will add phosphorus and for larger flowers but this is another way of getting
those larger flowers without it hurting the oil production on the plants because everyone knows
if you added too much fertilizer it reduces your oil production well the amino acids is another way
of getting larger flowers without the reduction of oil on your plants okay so fox farm right here
the difference this so as you can see recharge is all about building up your soil your microbiology
food for your biology tell your structure for your soil and then fulvic acid is like a chili
agent so this helps process salt-based fertilizers in your soil and help these things permeate your
rhizosphere a little easier and then your amino acids which alleviates certain functions which
allows your plants to do other things your grow big is two different types of nitrogens so that's
synthetic magnesium boron and i got into this video these are all key leading agents right
because if they didn't have these key leading agents these salt based fertilizers would combine
together in this bottle and turn into a salt and fall out of solution so they need all these things
to allow these fertilizers to stay suspended in this liquid and because of a higher concentration
of fertilizer shutting down the microbiology they use a chelating agent to help these fertilizers
permit permeate the cellular membrane okay so for some reason this video isn't playing
very well so i'm just going to go ahead and let this play fairly quickly and just explain it as
as it's talking over over in order to understand humic acids we must first talk about this okay so
this is humic acid acid when you break it down is comprised of 45 minerals 25 air 25 water 2
organic humus and 1 living matter the formation of humus so whenever you uh
look in the back of the bottom they say humic acid it is a emulsification of all that stuff
and put into a liquid and all these components are kind of extracted out continuous cycle the
first part is the breakdown these things die the microorganisms come eat it gets broken down and it
gives life back to the plant so these beneficial bacterias work together i wish i really wish they
would have this would have worked so this is humic acid right so this humic acid helps build
structure within your soil and we talk about this a lot with growing with cocoa versus
growing in soil right so in soil let's talk about the relationship with plants there is a structure
and it allows these minerals to basically take hold onto your into the soil because of the carbon
which is the humic acid and all these things right here that you can see right here this thing was
molecules of humans going around it's losing these charges and their negative ionic ionic charges
and so this is why i talk about drops balance drops balance is a negative ionic charge and
when you have this humic acid and you have these negative charges it's pulling in these
positive charges so what are these positive charges these positive charges are minerals so
it always has this relationship between negative and positive ions within your soil
so when these things get collected your fungi go and retrieve these these minerals and then because
we talked about the coenzyme right so while it's being attached this coenzyme process is happening
so when you have this ion exchange these ions are able to be absorbed into your plant and so that's
why i'm always and we talked about all these other minerals they talk about cat ion exchanges the
mineral portion of soil is comprised of various combinations of sand silt and clay because has
a strong negative charge they're talking about the cellular structure so all this is tumic acid
and all these minerals all right so the humic acid is a negative ionic charge linear diet clay soy
soils stuff like that and when the minerals come down on the soil they have something to attach to
cation capacity and so same thing with the water all these things these structures kind of help
water retention because there's something to grab onto but when you have a soilless
growing media these minerals will wash away but when you add in a humic acid or a little bit of
negative ionic charge into the situation those minerals will stay in your soil long enough which
i've talked many times before about the magnesium magnesium needs to be in the environment when you
have a ph up and down change through the co2 and oxygen released through your root system through
that process of the change that magnesium because it has to be in your environment that's why
people have magnesium calcium deficiencies because the magnesium washes away because it doesn't
have anything to hold on to that's why i always recommend to have a little bit of compost in your
cocoa to allow that magnesium to be able to be stationary for a while to do its function
so humic acid allows for cellular structure to happen and you know that's why they always talk
about humic acid is there to rebuild your soil but fulvic acid is is like that chelation it's it's a
much smaller molecule so it's able to permeate that membrane a little bit quicker that's why
i'm always talking about drops of balance jumps ions is a an ionic sulfate and mineral product
has 50 to 60 plus ionic sulfated minerals and it's once again it is doing many different things
to help build more cellular structure in your water which with that more cellular structure
it's able to hold on to things better in the water so when you're watering your plants and you have
all this humic living matter in your soil there's structure for things to hold on to and not just
evaporate away and when you have things evaporate quickly away what happens right plants dry back
or even you get more mold problems like powdery mildew and stuff it's because there there's
nothing in your soil to hold on to that moisture that's why science people might throw down hay or
something on the top anyways i hope this video was helpful please like share and subscribe
and once again i'm here available to you guys if you guys want further assistance please post your
comments and i'll do my best to get back to them thanks so much and have a great day everyone you
