Nutrients Mammoth P, voodoo juice tarantula etc can I cultivate them

[Frenjamin Banklin]

So here is the question, noob BTW.
I have read lots of people breed beneficial teas, compost etc. I just spent $80 US on 250ml of Mammoth P and while shopping notice how expensive ALL the beneficials are and at a 2% by volume content. Since these are just basically breed stock that we add to the res or water source. Can we or has anyone tried using the commercial products to create/seed a living colony in a separate aerated bucket that you feed separately and then add to your feelings? Does it work? I was imagining an 5 gallon bucket seeded with mammoth P and fed molasses aerated and just waiting to take a liter out of healthy microbes anytime I wanted. I know space and time is an issue but for a cheap SOB would it work?
Or am I just crazy

The whole idea is that you establish "a living colony" in each of your plant pots, right where it matters. And then keep it going through repeated supplemental doses.

NO, you can't culture this or any other pure or mixed live microbe-based products (e.g., think yogurt) without some basic measures to retain aseptic (below fully sterile) conditions, which can be done, but is a major pain. Those fermenting alcoholic beverages, yogurt or canning food for their own use are familiar with this. For example, an aerated bucket just involves pumping untold fungi/mold, bacteria, etc. in the air through your water, with continual contamination. Why do you even presume aeration is what you want? Do you know that the relevant microbes are aerobic, desire/need to air to grow? The strains of interest could best grow on agar-gelled culture media/feed plates, not in water as you propose. Why/how do you presume that molasses is a relevant culture medium (microbial feed solution)? What about proteins, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. that even microbes need? You'll also need constant sealed closure to prevent contamination of your culture and temperature control. But do you even know the preferred growth conditions for the microbes of interest? You will need to heat-treat or otherwise disinfect, if not sterilize, any containers in contact with the culture. Basically, you need access to a lab. or build and stock your own.

Ok

I don't know why guys adding microbes to hydro or coco or outdoors... Simply not logical and waste of money.
Maybe add some enzymes, and that's all.

Sounds reasonable to me. I brew recharge tea all the time. Recharge even comes with instructions for brewing the tea to increase the microbe numbers. Why wouldn't it work with Mammoth P?

I think it's possible to brew your own seperate N P K brews and plan to do it with a 'bio reactor'

Have some data stashed and need to come up to speed on some of the science so won't say to much lol

As for mammoth P, I have a sample bottle to try, have used great white before and it seemed to work great! (fabric pots went all white and fuzzy!)

As @Bll says, the microbes in mammoth P are not likely to be propogated without a good amount of sterilization to avoid the batch from going bad?

It should be an easy thing to whip up a batch of Luria broth, sterilize it by boiling in the flask, innoculate it with Mammoth P, take a few test cultures until you have an acceptable count, refrigerate, profit!
