Was reviewing some old posts. Do you consider molasses to be a complex sugar? What other sugars fall into the complex category?

SIMPLE sugars feed bacteria

Complex sugars feed both bacteria and fungi

Kelp is micronutrients for your plants, and the microorganisms, and it is a SURFACE for the fungi to grow on

Fish emulsion feeds mostly bacteria

Fish hydrolysate has the fish oil in it as well as the simpler proteins, and so feeds FUNGI more than bacteria

Humic acids are the most selective just for fungi
