Hey GP this is from their site.
"Insect Frass naturally contains the nutrition plants require, beneficial micro-organisms, and the only immediately plant-available source of chitin (pronounced “Kite-in”). Chitin fortifies a plant from the inside out, causing an "auto-immune" response that signals a plant to produce natural toxins which fend off its natural enemies like pests and fungal pathogens. The EPA says that chitin and chitosan (see FAQ's) defend against botrytis (grey mold), powdery mildew, early and late blight, fungal pathogens in the root zone (root rot) and root-feeding nematodes. Insect Frass does NOT cause a plant to kill beneficial insects or beneficial nematodes."
bigcheese has been using it for a bit and said it has knocked out his fungus gnats so I figured I'd check it out.
Companies usually just do that for the lable. Its easier to sell a product labled fertilizer then pesticide/fungicide/ ext... I know growers that have had great results with it.I've been eyeing it for a few months based on farmer recommendations. My only concern is that it's a nutrient source. . .I'll probably just add it to my soil mix. Thanks for the info.

Shit D, things are looking killer bro! You aint lyin, that White Fire Alien is bangin out the trich coverage, im anxious to see how it finishes, still got that one to pop myself. This plan of attack on the RA should work really well and it sounds like you are ON IT! Keep killin it D, the garden looks great homie. Peace out my brother! Motiv
What up GP! So, the species of nematode D is using is Steinernema Feltiae, which are the same ones I used to help rid myself of my RA's. You are correct that RA do live in and affect the entire container and that most soil living nematodes mainly work in the top several inches of the soil, including this species. During my use of them i did however see the nematodes all throughout my 4" pots all the way up to 7 gal containers takin on the ra top to bottom (more heavily near the top) and even in my saucers. No nematode that i know of will fully kill an ra population, but they did very effectively, in my case, keep the colony of ra much smaller and kept them from needing to grow to the "flyer" stage to seek a less crowded home and continue spreading new eggs and keeping their population growing. The nematodes, along with caps bennies allowed me to pull a decent harvest without having to hit my plants in flower with harsh chemicals, which is D's goal here since the ra were discovered after he flipped the plants to flower. Basically the smaller the ra colony is, the less damage they do and hopefully with the use of the nematodes, bennefical bacteria and fungi, plus the frass, D will be able to pull off a fat harvest with the least amount of ra damage as possible. The plants in veg of course are getting nuked to kill the ra population there so next round there arent any ra to deal with. Basically a plan of control rather than full irradication until harvest is done. Hope that made sense. Peace to ya GP! Rap soon brother! Motiv
youre welcome bro, its my pleasure to try and help. hope the new combo pack knocks those fucks out for good. the ladies are looking great ! packin that frost on fast and early. keep it up and youll prevail im sure of it!

dude i haven't checked in here in a while, to bad about the bugs but damn those pics look great.
Very sexy D! Killing it.everything is blowing up so evenly.I'd love to see the results of that tea bro.keep killing it.big respect!Thanks again to Motiv, BigCheese and Alien for all the help. I watered in enough predatory nematodes to treat an acre of land. That combined with the Insect Frass and Caps bennies should be fairly solid treatment for the remainder of this run. There is some yellowing starting to appear a bit but it's not too bad. Only 3 of the 24 plants actually look somewhat effected and their weight will be low for sure. Hopefully I can keep the RA's knocked back enough to finish this run fairly successfully.

Lookin nice man, still can't wait to see these finish. Hope your RA problem doesn't throw your girls outta wack since their already frostin up. take it easy man, RA murder vibes bein sent your way haha. O ya and your still killin it!!!!
So how goes the battle D? This Frass has got me super interested. That "Shit" is expensive shit. Im all for trying it. Gonna have to order some. One of my bros uses crab meal for the chitan source and has been spouting the benefits for years. The crab meal stinks.
D - the ladies are looking great brother! Happy to know that the RAs are about to see the last of their days.
If you need anything else at all, hit me up. I finally sat down tonight to look through my PMs...just got yours and responded.
If you get bored, call me and we'll talk about who goes down the fucking well next.
Love ya, you sick son of a bitch!
