clarifications for the use of em tecnology

sorry I know that I have already spoken, but I can not find trhead ...
today I managed to get hold of EM-1 and I wanted to know how to use it to EMA, so the percentages (5% em1 5% 45% molasses produced by fermentation and the rest of h2o "good")-are right? - but I did not understand if I can use it directly or if the EMA should be diluted ... I thought to use it instead of water to which add FPE (fermented plant exstrat) made ​​by me with the use of lactobacillus and molasses (for flowering apple, orange cucumber) I've only used lacto because I could not get hold of the EM1 .. but now I have it!!
also how do you ferment molasses only?? I have read that it is better than the one phenomenal loooong molasses and water but do not know if I understand you correctly ... I want to do is: use fermented molasses and add us FPE (2.5 to 5 ml xL).
What about?
im sorry but it is translate with google

sorry i don't undestand.
what you doing is too much difficult for me, (I use a regular picnic cooler and screw a light fixture into the underside of the lid, wired to electrical cord with a plug in. I screw a 'cool white' 100 watt equitable (I think it is actually 13 to 20 watts) compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb into the light fixture.
I almost fill up 2 liter pop bottles (PET) with warm non-chlorinated water (104F = 40C degre.....

i already use the lactobacilli for the FPE preparation and into the soil.
i just want to know if the EMA shuold be diluted and that ratio .
i would also like to know more about fermented molasses, that is different from EMA or i wrong?
you are very expert..thanks

If you do not want to make a fermentor (incubator) just mix it using the ratios and keep it in a warm place for around 7 days or check pH. This is how you make AEM [I do not know what EMA is]

AEM (activated EM) should be diluted. The dilution rate for soil ranges from 1:1000 to 1:100. I used it at 1:250

I have never heard of fermenting only molasses.

I hope I have understood what you wish to know.

thank you!
i'm sorry EMA is the same of AEM but in italian language...i will use it at the same your ratio 1:250... you think that i can use this ratio if i put in also FPE at the same ratio??
4 ml x L di AEM + 4 ml x L di FPE??

Type what you want to know in italian. Scrive pure in italiano, per me non è una problema..

I'll translate it for Microbe Man.

Just be sure you have done the fermentation (activation) process with the EM1 to make AEM (EMA) then you should be fine.

I have no experience with using EM1 right out of the bottle for horticulture although you may find information related to that on the SCD or EMRO website.

Here they recommend a 1:1000 dilution rate straight from the bottle.

grazie ix ma così ne approfitto per allenare un pò il mio inglese.. you don't know anything about molasses fermentated??
@ micro: so i can do AEM, and than dilute it at 1:250....
now i read your links..
tx.. i try and then write you, i have always some "talee" for try..

Molasses is used for fermenting other substances, as a microbial food source but I've never heard of fermenting it by itself. This is what I understood you to say.

Google translation;
La melassa è utilizzata per la fermentazione di altre sostanze, come fonte di cibo microbica, ma non ho mai sentito parlare di fermentazione che di per sé. Questo è quello che ho capito che tu dica.
