Reynoutria sachalinensis = the bottle of regalia. So the key with that shit is freshness. I wouldn't purchase anything that was more than 6 months old. It has hybridised with Reynoutria japonica in cultivation; the hybrid, Reynoutria × bohemica is frequently found in the British Isles and elsewhere.

Extracts of this plant can be used as plant protectants for certain fungal and bacterial diseases

Here's a pretty good list of how to make many of these off the shelf products;

Here's the formulation on Regalia specifically;

Regalia from Marrone Bioscience is a biostimulant and systemic fungicide for powdery mildew. All species of knotweed are active and it's very simple to make.
Load up your soxlet to capacity with any ground part of the knotweed plant (Leaves, stems and especially roots) with 95-97% alcohol. Let it run for 4-8 hours. Put in your rotovap to recover solvent. Dilute to 50% with water and add 12.5g/l citric acid as a stabilizer. Use at 3-6ml/gallon with water drench or foliar.

If you don't have a laboratory:
Alternately, soak all knotweed parts in alcohol for a month. Evaporate completely and add 50% water, 12.5g/L citric acid. It's probably a slightly higher dosage than the first method.


Yay! 😁 She's back in circulation.

Anyone ever ate any Signal Crawfish around here??? I just now learning these things can be caught out in the Skynomish River, and the waterfall area up there, should be a decent spot for them. I'll catch them suckers by the bucket full with a string tied to a chicken neck.


Plentiful and easy to catch, signal crawfish are sweeter and cleaner-tasting than their better-known Louisiana brethren. Yet the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife—tasked with keeping an eye out for who's fishing for them—has only 13 people registered to fish commercially for the local mudbugs, though stats are not kept for recreational hunters.

I've got a 5.2GH quad core system, running 8GB 1070GTX and 16GB DDR4 3200, 1TB Crucial SSD; ie. I've got high tier graphic crunching power, and this program makes me run around 60% CPU, which is really high. That's moving a lot of data there; This thing really is cool.
