Thanks! and thanks, I just ordered some!That Aloe Vera juice should work just fine. I use the 200x powder to avoid those additives but seen plenty people use that with zero issues. Generally at 1/4 cup a gallon.
An affordable silica option is that AgSil 16h. A powder form, you can mix up your own Protekt for fraction of the price.
I thought it worth noting, that although leadsled said it is harmful to beneficials, I have tons of beneficials around still and I use the grow more n-90 all the time and have for years...FWIWThank you much @leadsled , I was not aware. I use this product mostly because many years ago I bought a few cases of it and still have some on hand. I will look into the rest of what you said.
The iso-alcohol is only ingredient that causes caution, the microbes/microscopic elements is what is my primary concern of being effected by iso. Worth checking into.Thank you much @leadsled , I was not aware. I use this product mostly because many years ago I bought a few cases of it and still have some on hand.

silica is used as the emulsifier. use with your weekly neem/essential oil as a foliar spray.Thanks Leadsled
And that stuff will be my spreader?
I guess i have been lucky spraying without a proper spreader,
but I read SM90 was one :confused:
I like the idea of adding some silica to make the plants strong.
So I will get that..to use with the essential oils :)
Do I need a spreader with Flying skull nuke em?
The Met52 ec
I could have sworn i read Met52ec had a spreader already in it..but I cant find that now..@sungrown..I know you added a spreader..
Will silica help spread the Met52?
beneficials is a very broad term. (see above about the sensitive ones) new ones could fly in after you killed the ones present with iso alcohol fwiwI thought it worth noting, that although leadsled said it is harmful to beneficials, I have tons of beneficials around still and I use the grow more n-90 all the time and have for years...FWIW
ok, cool, thanks again for the info and I will absolutely research all you have said here. Much appreciation for the time to help!The iso-alcohol is only ingredient that causes caution, the microbes/microscopic elements is what is my primary concern of being effected by iso. Worth checking into.

aloe or yucca is the sticker/spreader, best to use aloe without preservatives. that contains preservatices.
lilyofthedesert juice or 200x aloe powder @ 1/4 cup gallon fits the bill as far as preservatives.
AS far as nuke em, read the directions and do what the manufacturer suggests. not familiar with the instructions.
I recall Met52 ec contains oils and was not to be used with a sticker spreader. But do not take my work for it. Please check the instructions to be safe.

welcome. better safe than sorry, fyi, kinda thing.ok, cool, thanks again for the info and I will absolutely research all you have said here. Much appreciation for the time to help!
Add silicone based wetting agent to the spray tank. Contact Novozymes for list of tested wetting agents. Novozymes recommends with all wetting agent additions to Met52 EC that precautionary phyto testing is done on target crop prior to large scale spraying.
Citric acid and potassium sorbate are both in the OMRI listed Nuke em product i just bought..A perfect example of "organic" labeling foolery. It's not organic. The aloe may be, but the additives/preservatives are crap.
But since you are using lots of different chemicals anyway I don't think it'll matter too much.

The more a person learns about organic products, the more a person learns a good bit of it is hype.Citric acid and potassium sorbate are both in the OMRI listed Nuke em product i just bought..
Citric acid is the active ingredient :confused:
:facepalm:
yeah I hear ya..The more a person learns about organic products, the more a person learns a good bit of it is hype.
Doesn't mean it is bad, or that it will not work though!
I have read many good things about the nuke em so I would not worry. It is probably like mighty wash and has something else in it that they won't tell you due to "Trade secrets" so the msds does not have to include all the ingredients

:) I bought a jar of it to ph down my water..still have most of it.I just bought a gallon. :oops: Fool me once... I found the same thing with LemiWash (or something like that) for coffee makers and dishwashers. It's just expensive citric acid in a nice plastic container. I buy citric acid by the 5 lb bag now at the garden supply and use it for lots of things and it's cheap.

It says its a sprouting agent..I guess it keeps mold from growing? idk.
But yeah, lots of uses :)
