hey caps, thank you for getting my second package in the mail quickly.
My question is what sub strain of bacillus subtilis is in the root pack. The reason i ask is in my mother room i had a plant in my old royal gold basement mix, and she was full of fungus gnats and ras... So i tryied something new for me which was the pro-mix biofungicide "subtilex". Bacillus subtilis mb1600 to be exact. I transplanted some babies and covered the one mother with 2 inches of p-mix 2 weeks later the gnats are gone. My original theory was by using fungicidal medium i would not have fungus, food for the gnats and they could not survive.
This will be the first week i have all three packs to brew for tea. I have not seen any results from using the foliar pack alone so far so hopefully the tea will knock out the gnats. Other than the gnats my plant look really healthy. I am running side by side test.
1. With tea
2. With out tea
3. Very light watering
4. Pro-mix "subtilex" topping
i'll post what happens next soon. Peace
I am also curious as to fungus gnat larvae protection in the root pack. I have a perennial gnat problem. I just see a few here and there, but if I don't keep Bti in the root zone the larvae will grow and they will multiply fast, as you probably know....
I have been using a product called Microbelift up until now and was about to reorder since the little bit I have left has died i think.
So my question is what is in the Root pack to deal with gnat larvae? If there is nothing, then I could like to know, and have wondered this for awhile now, can you use Bti with bennies and not have to worry about throwing the balance off? Expecially since a product like Microbelift is so concentrated. 2.5ml will treat like 1000 gallons in pond applications.
I understand your foliar pack works against gnats, but the gnats from my moms are not the problem and until i find out exactly where the gnats are coming from I pretty much have to have gnat larvae protection. Either way I will order the foliar pack also as I love putting bennies on my moms leaves. Keeps them much healthier.
I was told on one forum that beneficials will balance themselves out but I find that hard to believe (meaning that you can apply Bti with bennies and they will always assume a particular balance).
I would really like to order some of these from you as I need to keep my gnat protection up and i am also about out of Great White. Would much rather throw my money your way man. I guess ordering on the Temp Ebay link is still the way to go????
GG,
The first prodcuts I had made to order are a combination of Azospirillum lipoferum, Rhizobium leguminosarum, Bacillus megaterium, and Fraturia aurantia. All together at the rate of 5 x 10 to the power of 9 spores per gram. The endomycorrhizal spores at the rate of about 25,000 propagules per lb each (4 of them).
In the future I will be able to offer specific strains, but there is a pretty big minimum so I wanted to try to make a blend that will be beneficial to the farmer who wants to go with an all inclusive bio program that will pretty much cover all the bases from mycos to disease prevention, to insect control.
Isn't Rhizobium leguminosarum for leguminous plants?
Dry bennies, cheap.
I am working a connection on all of the spores that are going in to the products like great white and voodoo, serenade, etc...
Is anyone interested in these?
Wow. This is where it all started. You've come so far in such a short time! Nice work, Cap.

Ooops: that would be in a tea.Got the packs today, thanks Cap. For 8"to 12" seedlings outside in soil seems like the dosage would be 1 tbl each/gal of the nute and root? What about 3 weeks into flower in soil inside?

I'm not clear on how much per gallon to add to the tea. Seems like 1 tbs/gal is over kill. I will be hand feeding in soil.It's the same diluton for tea, or mixed directly with water. In the tea, you will be multiplying your beneficials as well as gettign them out of stasis prior to application. This is why the tea is better.
Those are the manufactures recommended rates. You can use however much you want.I'm not clear on how much per gallon to add to the tea. Seems like 1 tbs/gal is over kill. I will be hand feeding in soil.
