In coco I would make a tea. throw 3 tbl spoons of each in a 5 gallon bucket with 50 ml of a carb source (earth juice hi brix works well for me, but I have also used sweet and carboload with success). Then add abotu 3-4 gallons of RO or distilled water. Stir it up.

You could also research puttign in alfalfa meal and earth worm castings in to this brew for a super tea, complete with the tricontanol from the alfalfa which will increase the rate of cell division.

Use an air pump and a good air stone to bubble it for 24-48 hours in a 5 gallon bucket. It should get frothy. I turn the air stone off and skim the top to get just the liquid. Some other people like to strain with a cheesecloth.

Water the plants with it, like 1 cup or two right at the base, and then I would run some RO water to saturate (no runoff this time).

You can do this once, or once a week, or whenever you feel like it. I dump the excess in my garden plants, but you can keep the solution up to 10 days in the fridge.

are there alternative applications, like root dusting at xplant? will it be more effective if watered in?
i've always read that mycos does best when contacting the roots directly.

is the nute and root pack to be used in conjunction? or is root pack for xplants?

is that dilution rate for the tea mentioned above for either of the packs, root or nute?

more questions to follow. thanks for taking the time.

root and nute are designed to be able to be used together, but you dont have to use them together.

One has the mykos and the other has the fungus/bacteria. That way, the grower can tailor to their specs.

You can just mix it in with the soil/coco at the same rate as the mykos. I feel in coco though, and this is just my opinion, that it would be better to make a tea with some carbs/sugars and water in, since coco is pretty sterile. that way they can eat the carbs/sugars until they find the roots (or the roots find them).

I also put some tea in my turbo cloner.

I do not grow in soil (wish I could grow outside), so I have always made tea.

remember I used to use great white, zho, RE... but then I started getting wise and looked at the ingredients. Just like the nutes... overhyped.

Some of the companies are charging 1000% mark ups.

Beauveria bassiana, strain GHA is some good shit. Combined with some Imidacloprid just destroyed my RA problem.

Best thing is Beauveria bassiana can be used during flower and save your ass

Capulator · Nov 5, 2011

thats in the foliar pack.

I spoke with the dr. at the lab and he informed me that the foliar pack can also be used for soil drench. Same rates. You can use more if you want to go big, without affecting the plant.

Shamrock · Nov 7, 2011

Yes sir. I could not find 1 single RA this morning not even a flier! Not to mention the added bonus of everything bouncing back real quick. I will be placing an order asap.

Thanks again for all your hard work cap.

Auction has ended?

Still gonna be offerin' this, cap?

If so, couldn't find if the auction is for a pound...ounce...etc. of the mixes.

If no, thanks for giving the Farm a choice/alternative to higher priced bennes.

Sorry everyone, I had to re-order 3 weeks ago (local friends grabbed a bunch), and I re-listed to appeal to people off the farm. Here is the new link:

That's really good news if it worked for you shamrock!

Can you detail your method? An organic way to kill RAs would be a dream to a lot of people here.

GreenThumbBill · Nov 7, 2011

Hey bro, sweet ebay listing, but there is a typo in the last sentence of the last paragraph. I don't think you want to eradicate people's pets! LOL Obviously that should read, "pests."

Capulator · Nov 7, 2011

Bill youre the second one to point that out. I guess I should fix that. Eradicating pets is damn funny though...

that foliar pack can't come soon enough. just discovered aphids to along w/ my fungus gnats.

woohoo..

good news about its RA effectiveness.

Zoo im sending it right now.

^much thanks. will be here tomorrow, can't wait.

You said you might be able to get some answers to any questions we had, from your source.

heres a couple:
-how do the microbes in your mix react to synthetic nutes?
-what is the medium's role in the mycorhizal relationship? ie, coco vs soil vs hydroton

thanks again man

I just sent an email asking these questions. It seems to me, given the relationship of endo mykos to plant roots, that media does not matter.

When the fungus comes in contact with the roots, it actually penetrates the cell wall. The fungus at that point feeds off the carbs which are provided by the plant (the sugars move from the leaf tissue to the root tissue and are consumed by the fungus).

With that being said, I speculate that adding sugar to the media will only sustain the fungi that are not in contact with the roots. Once the roots hit the fungi and the fungi attach, there would be no need to sustain them, since they would at that point be living off of plant waste.

attention:

I deleted the current ebay auction for these, and re opened this one:

EBAY WAS NOT LETTING ME DISCOUNT THE ITEM, SO I NEED TO HAVE SEPARATE LISTINGS. ONE FOR FARMERS, AND ONE FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

IF YOU BID ON THE OLD AUCTION, I HAVE CANCELED THE TRANSACTION AND PM'D YOU . YOU WILL NEED TO REBID ON AUCTION FROM THE LINK POSTED HERE TO GET THE GOOD PRICE.

sorry for the confusion.
