If you are a person with some knowledge in organic farming, home growing or marijuana cultivation, we cordially invite you to read the following article, perhaps you will find valuable information that you needed but did not have at your fingertips.
For example, the benefits of lactic acid bacteria in plants or why they are also an option for large, resistant and productive crops of a plant as well known and used as cannabis sativa. Which can be found and enjoyed in several markets around the world, including the Social Clubs Barcelona products.
Lactic acid bacteria
You probably met them in some high school biology class; however, do you remember what lactic acid bacteria are or any of their functions? we doubt it, so as an opening to the topic, I’m here to answer this question for you.
These bacteria are microorganisms whose main use is in the fermentation processes of foods such as milk, meat, vegetables, or in products such as cheese, yoghurt, sausages, etc.
These fermenting bacteria release lactic acid, which makes them perfect and desired in industries to be used as protection against harmful organisms. As they contain lactobacilli, they provide good care to the product. In addition, they are completely harmless to live beings.
Marijuana and LAB
Lactic acid bacteria metabolize sugar, produce a substance called hexanoate, which, when synthesized by marijuana plants, in turn, produces cannabinoids and terpenes. The latter is responsible for the plant to enjoy greater protection against external and harmful agents.
As a general higher quantity of cannabinoids and terpenes, as well as better absorption of nutrients generated by bacteria, marijuana crops have the possibility to grow bigger, more resistant, with better productive capacity and of course with better effects at the time of being used (since cannabinoids have a direct effect on the release of neurotransmitters in the brain).
It is also good to remember that the misuse of these bacteria, exposing them to light or mixing them with pesticides, can cause an increase in the appearance of harmful microorganisms for the plant and end up damaging it, so it is good to follow some recommendations if you plan to take advantage of their benefits.
In case you want to grow a culture with lactic acid bacteria
A good way to add lactic acid to your crops is through water, directly in the soil of the crop.
In order not to disturb the balance in the soil life, it should be added evenly and preferably in the initial phase of the plant’s evolution. In this way, even and constant growth is achieved.
It is important to remember that this microorganism, although it is small, also needs oxygen to live, so the greatest depth at which it should be found in no more than 15 centimetres.
If you have rice, water and milk at home, you can try making your own homemade lactoserum. However, if you plan to do so, it is best to keep in mind that you are still dealing with bacteria, which are constantly evolving and reproducing, so you have to check day by day that it is not rotting and that it is in a usable condition.
To Sum Up
At this point, we can say that, indeed, lactic acid bacteria have great benefits such as protection against harmful microorganisms or improvement and growth of plants.
In marijuana plants we see that it serves to improve the quality of flowers, brings strength and endurance, as well as improves the roots, giving way to a better harvest and also generates an increase in the production of the agent that is responsible for giving the healing properties for which many people grow and use this plant.
Also, if you sell it, BALs are a great idea to increase and guarantee the productivity of the crops without affecting the quality of the crop.
Not so difficult to create or manage, with care that, although it is constant but not as rigorous as other methods, we invite you to try it and test yourself or yourself the effectiveness of which we have been talking about. So, are you ready to try the power of Lactic Acid Bacteria?
