Long story short They are fine to use together because enzymes have a something known as 'lock and key' meaning they reacts to a SINGLE substrate specifically. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst. In general, each type of enzyme catalyzes only one type of reaction and will operate on only one type of substrate. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR QUESTION. As a consequence, enzymes are highly specific and are able to discriminate between slightly different substrate molecules. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that play an extremely important role in recycling nutrients in the environment. Bacteria break down organic matter into simple compounds like carbon dioxide and water, and they cycle important nutrients such as nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus to better be injected by out plants (Fancy i know)! An important difference between enzyme-based and bacterial-based products is that the enzymes can't repair themselves or reproduce. While all enzymes have a limited half-life (minutes/days), are biodegradable, and are subject to damage by extremes of pH, temperature, or other enzymes. Living bacteria, however, produce fresh enzymes on a continuous basis and can bounce back following mild environmental insults. Fun stuff, I hope I helped! 😎

Hello ! Cannazym does not kill the beneficial bacteria : it activate them and create a better environment for the root system. It also help to degrade old dead roots to turn then into something useful for the plant ( sugar ? ) . I hope it will help you 😁✌️🏼

hey @autoking don't worry bacteria produce enzymes so they wont be killed off by the enzymes, in general enzymes and bacteria go well together : enzymes break down the bacteria's food a bit and helps it make nitrates which is how the plant ends up taking up the nutes. Enzymes are great, use them every watering, their "action time" is not really very long, but they do make the soil healthier over time aswell. Bacteria's action is much longer, after all they keep reproducing even if you don't keep adding more to the watering. So don't worry and mix away, together these will do great things for your soil ! 🚀
