Conradino23 Keeps On Keeping On Outdoor & Indoor Using LOS/High Brix Methods

It looks like a good stuff... and from DEM it must be special. Are their products only available in Cali or they went international already?
 
That stuff looks good!

Hey Conrad - could you refresh my memory please about what you did to combat spider mites during flower? :namaste:
 
This was a bitch and I battled them till the end. I used pyrethrin and alcohol spray. With spider mites it’s easy to kill the larvae and adults, but they keep hatching if the egss survive. I believe some sort of cleaner should be used a few days after the first treatment. And usually you have to do two runs this way.

:thumb: We have a version here that is a large native tree with very similar properties (and called equisitafolia as well). It also makes an excellent antifungal foliar spray (as well as being rich in nutrients) - is that also the case with the variety you get?

Yes - its what I use for PM/Mold and also its a silica blast. Start with it early in VEG and stop about 1/2 thru flower but thats when I stop foiler for anything switch + fingers crossed.

Ha! All the microbes were tested at 420,000 CFU's! Lol

Cant get anything by you Lazy. lol Good eye.

Not even sure what a CFU is but it looks good.

What does the bacillus goo do for plants leaves?
 
Not so sure about Bacilus, but in recent studies about chelates (organic compound), chelated nutes absorb into leaves much quicker due to the organic nature. So aside from the benefits of that strain of bacilus, I'd bet that it absorbs much quicker than regular water or nuted water.

Do you have any amino, fulvic or humic acids on hand? To piggy back on your Epsom experiment, it would be wise to add in an organic acid to chelate those elements and improve the absorption.

im a firm believer of full rock its in my teas so I take my spray bottle add some tea about 1/4 strength then I add a couple tsp. of the Epsom water and foliar been doing that for a week and they look happy!

Silica is a must. Not a nutrient, but an enhancer for sure. Outdoor plants and I mean normal plants will suck it right from the ground, cause that’s the main ingredient basically, but if you grow in peat than your silica is nada, so it’s good to add it when cooking every batch.

There’s shitloads of bacilli that are beneficial and we’re barely dcratching the surface. Lactobacillus acidophilus, plantarum or bacillus subtilis are few commercially recognised, but I’m sure there are hundred other great strains to be harnessed. All of these are anti-mould agents, but they’re naturally occuring in soil. However we still don’t know what they do exactly.

I've wondered about soil bacteria and how the different types affect the outcome of the plant. We test the soil for proper nutrients but seem to use a standard type of bacteria. I'd be interested to see the difference in lifeforms in the native regions of the world. It would be cool to order Jamaican bacteria or African or whatever and see how the end product changes.
 
Bacteria and fungi are really important for the plants. We’ve just started detstanding their importance and we have a long way to go yet.

When you have your soil dialled in and it contains a bit of compost all these acids occur naturally. I chelate my Cat Drench with a bit of vinegar to break calcium carbonate, but I wouldn’t pour it directly into the soil.

I wish you had lithothamnium available in Cali. All your Ca/Mg problems would be yesterday news.
