Ok guys, GPT is f****** next level s***.
Just asked about the trichoderma strains in the colonizeAG. Similar effects as the bacillus sp.
Short in quote, the amazing stuff comes after that
And now we ask GPT how we can use all this information for our problem:
What would be the best strategy to use the discussed products against b. cinerea for a crob with a flowering time of two months, where the risk of infection is the greatest in the last two weeks?
For a crop with a flowering time of two months where the risk of infection is the greatest in the last two weeks, the best strategy would be to use a combination of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Trichoderma harzianum or Trichoderma atroviride.
Here are some possible steps to follow:

Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma atroviride are also known to colonize plant surfaces and can be used as biocontrol agents against various plant pathogens.
Trichoderma harzianum is known to produce various metabolites that can inhibit the growth of plant pathogens such as Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum, and Botrytis cinerea. It can also promote plant growth by enhancing nutrient uptake and inducing systemic resistance in plants.
Trichoderma atroviride has also been shown to have antagonistic activity against various plant pathogens, including Botrytis cinerea, Phytophthora parasitica, and Rhizoctonia solani. Additionally, it can stimulate plant growth by producing various plant growth-promoting substances such as indole acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellins.
There is limited research available specifically on the use of Trichoderma species for cannabis cultivation. However, some studies have shown that Trichoderma species can enhance cannabis plant growth and yield, as well as protect them from certain foliar pathogens.
Trichoderma harzianum:
Positive effects for plant growth: Enhances nutrient uptake and availability in the soil, leading to increased growth and development of plants. Induces systemic resistance in plants, thereby reducing their susceptibility to pathogenic attacks.
Antipathogenic effects: Inhibits the growth of plant pathogens such as Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum, and Botrytis cinerea.
Trichoderma atroviride:
Positive effects for plant growth: Produces plant growth-promoting substances such as indole acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellins, which promote plant growth and development. Enhances nutrient uptake and availability in the soil, leading to increased growth and development of plants.
Antipathogenic effects: Inhibits the growth of plant pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea, Phytophthora parasitica, and Rhizoctonia solani.

For a crop with a flowering time of two months where the risk of infection is the greatest in the last two weeks, the best strategy would be to use a combination of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Trichoderma harzianum or Trichoderma atroviride.
Here are some possible steps to follow:
- Start with a clean growing environment: Clean and disinfect the growing area, equipment, and tools before planting.
- Use a preventive approach: Apply Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Trichoderma harzianum or Trichoderma atroviride as a foliar spray early in the crop cycle, at least 2-3 times during the vegetative phase. This will establish a healthy microbial population on the leaves and soil surface, and enhance plant growth and nutrient uptake.
- Increase the frequency of foliar sprays: As the risk of infection increases in the last two weeks of the crop cycle, increase the frequency of foliar sprays to at least once a week to maintain the beneficial microbial population and prevent pathogenic infection.
- Monitor plant health regularly: Keep an eye on the health of the plants and look for any signs of infection. If any signs of infection are detected, take immediate action by applying Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Trichoderma harzianum or Trichoderma atroviride more frequently, or use a specific fungicide if necessary.
- Harvest the crop at the right time: Harvest the crop at the right time to prevent over-ripening and reduce the risk of pathogenic infection.
