Also good for killing weeds straight hot water, but never killed the roots just the folage so be careful

[cemchris]

Nice tip!

 

[Captive]

very useful tip. could have done with this knowledge at one stage!

i like this method, meshes well with the concept of k.i.s.s. i always think simple is better. why overcomplicate if you can get the same results with something far simpler? :)

Cap, i want to try this method out. the price is right for me :)

how will this affect the bennies from the tea i have been using?

That I don't know. You can always re innoculate though. I add new bennies every week. I know you are having a problem with the RA's. Mayeb you coudl test on a couple plants. My thinking is if you can significantly wipe out the population first, get everything cleaned up... then reapply bennies...

I am picking up merit 75 tonight to use on the few plants I have with them. I cant take any chances with this run, and they still have a week or 2 of veg.

It has been 2 days since the dunk and all the aphids on the bottoms of the cubes are still just dead. I could not find a live one.

word. cap you never stated suck in your original post.

all you said was that you quit doing teas and neglected shit. Not that you had a fresh air intake and whatever else.

Believe me I'm hoping for the best but have heard many mixed opinions.

what have you been hearing good or bad ??

I have one plant that went in to a little shock after the treatment,. The rest are all blasting out new white roots. No FG's. No RA's. Reapplying tea tonight as I am sure the hot water killed the micro herd as well.

Hot water nearly killed several of my plants.

and did kill a cactus I tried it on.....

How hot was the water? All my plants are fine, except one which is still fine just not as vibrant as the rest.

Mine got a little shocky too, checking again later today and will report if issues. Water was def too hot cause I had to microwave it and had loaned out my ir therm, used finger prob 150-160. At least this way we'll have a rough ceiling figure. Even if plants die, RAs had to go immediately.

I figured the micros would die too so gave them a nice cool flush with nutes afterward and re-inoculated.

Not to be a huge hippie, but microwave ovens are amazingly fucked. Destroys chirality of molecules. Bad bad bad for food, water, everything.
I have not had a microwave oven in my house in over 5 years. I would strongly recommend using a regular stove just in case.
I could be overreacting. Check out the Japanese dude with his frozen water experiments. Masaru Emoto. Then decide for yourself. Should be experiments you can replicate at home.

^was waiting for this

microwave is only option in break room at cop-shop next door, where I go for snacks and to wash hands after trimming.

Oh shit! Do they have a sense of humor? Maybe sense of irony?

130 degree worked for me, but I am going to amend my statement to 120 degree water due to DWD's bad experience.

that seems a lot more sensible if it still kills them

You guys are speaking to the RAs with a pronounced German accent when you are doing this, right?

 

[Danoid]

In my battle I tried 120'-130' ro water and it seemed like it shocked the semi healthy plants and they took a while(3-7 days)to recover but it was a slow painful death for a sickplant. Imid/Bayer won't work on a sick plant either because a sick plant will not drink.
