Old Reviews Live test: Cannazym vs Sensizym

[Groff]

Right... so this first test was an utter flop. I took some pics and chucked the bottles out right before I went out for holidays, but I think I may have f*cked up and deleted those pics... but anyhow, zero difference, might as well re-post the same pictures as above.

So I'm doing a second round. Been thinking about it, and the roots must have bees too fresh or something? Going to test again with bone dry trim leaf. Pics in a couple of minutes...

Round 2 !

1.5g of sweet leaf

115ml of enzymes (a sh!t load, I know...)

40ml water

Strong vigorous shake.

I ran out of Cannazym, so this is it for the better or worse.

Voting still open TaNg's Thang

I am curious to see what happens. I have yet to use an Enzyme product. I grow indoors and was under the assumption since i always toss my promix i never needed to break anything down... Just figured since the girls are only living for ~80 days...

I guess final votes are near to close! Going out to catch some surf and later on I'll post pictures. Interesting findings!! This time round we do have some food for thought!

Pics.. I forgot to mention that this sweet leaf was absolutely bone dry unlike the roots I tried earlier.

I was expecting a more exciting result, but maybe dry leaves are also not the best medium to try this... ?

Anyway, over here it seems pretty evident that Cannazym did something extra that Sensizym did not. The plant matter sunk in Canna, the "water" is absolutely cloudy while Sensi is exactly like on the first day, no change at all. The smell of wet green leaf, while Canna smells like a hospital ER - chemical, slightly fetid and generally yukky. Canna also exhibits a very thin layer of foamy-stuff on surface.

How that relates to their competence, I have no clue. I was hoping for a more dramatic effect... maybe I should have used apple juice or paper like on the Canna video I posted earlier. I was under the impression these zyms would munch on dead plant matter (mainly roots), but apparently there is more to be said about it.

So there you go. Hope someone out there finds this and shares their 0.02c!

So here's my take, as a Hygrozyme user...this stuff is not going to do anything that bleach/ammonia/lye would do to organic matter. It's simply not possible to put a super-strong organic enzyme in a bottle and not nuke your plants, assuming it's strong enough to actually decompose matter. I think in the case of an enzyme product, what you're getting is more of a "cleaning/flushing" effect that removes unwanted elements from you container. I've heard that many coco growers swear by enzymes because it speeds the cleanse and improves taste when used throughout flowering. I use hygrozyme for the first few "cleanse" waterings after I drop out my fertilizers...basically just clean the coco with full strength enzymes, then finish the cleanse with pure RO water. I think what it's doing is removing the residual salts without having to run 5x the volume of the pot of fresh water through, like you would in a "flush" scenario. That's of benefit for someone trying to ripen/cleanse their finished product. I think from a "let me make my TLO soil more robust" standpoint, I don't think you gain anything you wouldn't get from a robust microherd. For hydro growers who fill up a res that sits for a week or more between changes, I think it's probably good prevention against mold/algae buildup, but again, I don't think they formulate this stuff strong enough to actually REMOVE material in a noticeable/quantifiable way.

i remember when i worked at a restaurant and they changed their cleaners. We use to use degreaser/hot water combo. Now i see many restaurant have followed and changed to the new enzyme cleaners i had to take classes to learn about the products as i was a manager. Not saying that this is relevent to growing plants but it was an enzyme product and that is where i am going to make the connection. The product had to be used with cold water only otherwise they would kill the enzymes. They also needed 4-6 weeks of being built up before they would start breaking down the grease. Just some thought

Bazinga!

I left them out near an open window all this time. Figured the sun, heat and wind would speed things up a little, and enzymes do need their time for chunkeir material.

Left Sensi right Canna, before after shake, strained but not squished, and layed out on a plate with multiple angles and light for your own judgment.

Here is my formal conclusion;

I mainly see Canna ate the little stalks away and made a mushy pudding of indistinguishable floral morphology while Sensi with its 80+ whatever marketing bananas managed to hydrate the celulose and make a mildly pleasant tea like smelling soup. Canna smelled like a swamp rat fart with whiffs of dysentery.

Going back to Cannazym :GoooAuto:

Edit: How do I close the poll? Can't find it..?!

 

[Groff]

I'm ordering Cannazym pretty soon, so ?ill be able to do a second round of this test.

I anyone has a idea on how to do it better, please chime in, more than happy to try it :thumbs:

I like your method, would't change anything about it. But could you include Hygrozyme? Very big clouds of hype surround this one..
Don't assume that AN is automatically better with their fancy 84 enzymes. 2 enzymes are enough to decompose the majority of the root material, Cellulase ( for Cellulose ) and Amylase ( for starch and other complex sugars, which in turn then gets eaten by microorganisms ). Those two alone would form a decent enzyme product.

What Akito said is gold! :. Many enzyme based drain cleaners are produced now instead of strongly alkaline ones. Please please test HG Kitchen Drainfree ( not the regular drainfree, which is Sodiumhydroxide ). A 750mL Bottle costs about 7€, and the dosage is about 0.5-2mL for 1000mL water.

:tiphat:

Oh and AN refuses to play with open cards not like most of the rest of manufacturers regarding their products and ingredients.So I wouldn't believe anything they tell you about their far superior products, if there is absolutely no practical way to confirm or debunk their claims by common means. There could be 84 super enzyme in sensizyme, or just 5 that are in the products of everyone else too. Other than than with base nutrients, you have no way of testing it easily.
