I think @motherlode is right, that's the only explanation I could come up with - being as how the service they gave me was surprisingly prompt. I'm sure they'll get back to you Monday man.

LOLLLL fuck I'm dying... That's terrible, but we've all been there bruh.

You know how they say smells create the most vivid memories?

*dry heaves*

I'd try this recipe http://theunconventionalfarmer.com/recipes/calphos/. In all honesty there SHOULD be little smell when fermentation is complete. If there is any maybe add some lactobacillus to the finished mix.

@Confuten1 You can buy on amazon. Friend of mine picked some up from there.
Sea Crop is also supposed to help with nematode resistance.
Malted Barley sst is another source of chitin.

 

[Confuten1]

So untill i hear bk frm my Chinese homies, I found a source of chitosan used in wine clearing. it works out to by 15$ for 10 grams but itll hold me over untill i can buy a kilo frm China



best part is, i can drive 30 mins away and go pick up a couple bottles today. thanks for your help everybody!
Plants look alot better last couple days espacially after the asprine. Most all of them have new shoots that are green and normal looking.

Thanks @leadsled , ill give that a read, and look into sea crop.
I jus didnt trust amazon and ebay. I was looking for a manufacture direct. due to the high cost of this product, it seemed like something that would easily be bootleged/scammed.
I also ordered:

Its a nematicide, havent read anybody using it but it looked like it would be a good 150$ investment. Are you familiar with this product?

Gotcha on the amazon ebay. Better safe than sorry.

Yes, The azaguard is a neem extract of Azadirachtin. (3%) I saw it when researching while I had a problem with root aphids.
I ended up going with azasol which is a higher concentration ( Azadirachtin 6%) than azaguard and it is water based.

The only powder form of chitosan I've found on amazon is this product:

With a guy in the reviews (or q&a) saying it's not chitosan... that kept me from buying.

Yo @Confuten1 did you ever hear back from gtcbio?

How are the plants looking?

Yea bro, I have some on the way. In the mean time I been using chitosan frm a wine making supply store. Plants are doing better, good enough that I flipped the room and tiday is day 2. I'll take some pics soon. I also got some backups frm a buddy so if they don't look solid in a few weeks ill scrap em and go with the new clones. Thanks for asking.

Fuck yeah, glad to hear they got back to ya.

Cool shit man, glad to hear it!

What I'll say next is directed at everyone, just because I think other folks should know...

Chitosan is some special stuff I believe... I've been using it for practically everything. Clones, popping beans, drenches in all stages of growth, foliar in veg etc etc.

Really just seems to improve everything at the moment. Last time I transplanted, my rootballs were the most healthy I've seen in a while... plants seem stronger in veg, clones root faster and stronger...

I'll get off of chitosan's nuts now but damn, it's beautiful to see the addition of one single component make such an awesome difference. All plants in my gardens were relatively healthy to begin with, but the subtle difference are much more pronounced after weeks of observing...

...and if I never see a dud in my garden again, I'll be tickled fuckin pink.

Curious to see the how it will influence my veggies this year, too.

And in case anyone is worried, I don't work for gtcbio lmao.

With all the research ive done on chitosan, i feel the same way as you. I suspect that itlll be in my garden from now on. thanks for your help @Myco.

I see a few other brands of chitosan powder. nutricargo and chemsavers.



I thought it was redundant adding the powder on top of other chitosan sources. Personally I have not tested it out.

@leadsled where else are we getting Chitosan input in our garden. I.e, do u kno of specific nutes or adds. I kno of crabshell meal and insect frass has Chitin but that steal has to be broken down for chitosan to be abailable right.

Do a drench of an extract or aact of Earth Worm Castings will also help boost the production by increasing the chitin producing bacteria.
http://www.google.com/patents/US6475503?dq=worm+castings#v=onepage&q=worm castings&f=false
I remember reading about a diet high in chitin for the worms produced castings that then could produce a worm extract that would help deter pests from the plants.

Yes the chitin has to be processed via biology/microbes or can also be processed by chemicals.
More products I can think of.
Sea Shield from AEA
Pacific Gro Liquid Oceanic fertilizer.
CargoBoost from nutrifield
Canadian Xpress Tanlin
Bud factor x by AN
