Adding bacteria during bloom?

Greetings everyone!

I usually add bacteria all through veg to feed mycorrhizae and get the microherd all rhyled up. Bacillus and trichoderma are my friend. Now, months later in mid-bloom I am routinely feeding my babies a cocktail of FF Big Bloom with a hint of Humboldt County's Own Killer Tea and unsulphured blackstrap molasses. My babies really like this cocktail. The culture that I am using as a medium love it.

My question is, and this is kind of experimental because I've never thought of it before: Has anyone ever added Azomite or Great White or any other bacteria during bloom? I mean, we all know the benefits of bacteria with cuttings, transplants and all through veg. Would it be detrimental or beneficial to add a small amount of bacteria during bloom so as to produce more peptides to feed and stir-up the microherd?

Thanks in advance! I've done a few searches on this and haven't found anything.

By the time you get to bloom phase and they are already in their final size containers there should already be an fairly established fungal presence. Azomite takes a long time to break down; not much sense in adding it until you recycle the soil after harvest. You should add great white or any granular myco for that matter to the hole directly at every transplant. Giving myco "teas" do very little though the mfgers love to have you believe otherwise.
Adding back populations of microherd is always a good idea though. It's just neither azomite nor great white contain any bacteria; azomite is a mineral soil amendment and gw is a fungal inoculant. Nothing in a bottle sitting on a shelf is as active in microbes as worm castings so the best thing you can do is brew up an active aerated compost tea (AACT). Here's a great simple recipe:
1 cup EWC
1 tblspn kelp meal
1 tblspn molasses
1-3 gal clean water
Bubble for 36-48 hrs & give to plants; use it all up
Dump any leftover sludge scraped from the bottom of the bucket into your recycling soil

Thanks Richard!
I still have a bunch of compost tea freebies leftover from last years' Emerald Cup in Santa Rosa. Malibu Compost Boo's Brew, Dragonfly Earth Medicine etc. I've been using freebies all season. Maybe I'll employ some of what I've already got. Nice break-down by the way. You said it very well.

Here's a before and after. Please pardon the 2mp flip phone quality pictures.
The first was taken August 11th. The second was taken September 6th after pulling off a bunch of dead foliage. The third is what my biggest colas are looking like today. They're happy.

Compost tea freebies can never be as active as fresh compost from a worm bin. So many products out there but the one thing that was a game changer for my grow was having a worm bin. It's the best investment an organic grower can make IMO; freebies from a worms ass lol. Very nice looking plants; I wish I could do outdoor.

I have a worm bin, silly. And a compost bin chalk-full of red worms and an air percolater, and 5 gallon buckets, and molasses and kelp. I brewed compost teas all last season. Lol! I'm just doing something different this season. Mostly trying to use what I've got laying around. My cost hasn't been much.

The combination that I have my babies in right now is as follows. This is what I mixed together at the beginning of the season:

*A 50/50 mix of Roots Organic regular to VermiFire soil blended together with Grow-Kashi, Great White and Mycos both, oyster shell calcium, egg shells, organic brown rice powder, Azomite, a little bit of dolomite lime and perlite.

It's carried me all season long. Was a little hot at first but I used Vermi-Tea(freebie sample from my local hydro shop), and did a good heavy water drench and it straightened everything out. We here in the east bay have excellent water that I run through an 8000 gallon Ideal H2o anti-fluoride/chlorine filter. It looks amazing beneath the mulch in that its literally so alive that the surface beneath is covered in a living fuzz!

I love your screen name and picture by the way. Lol! Gotta Love Dreyfuss!

Well of course you do silly me lol good luck & happy growin!!!
