Use Nutrilife SM-90 to prevent or treat bacteria, fungus and insect problems. SM-90 is prepared from natural plant oils - the organic composition of SM-90 is biodegradable and non-toxic to humans, animals and plants!
SM-90 is a good product to use from day one with your plants to keep them healthy and pest / disease free. Use as a foliar spray or root feed in both soil and hydroponics gardens.
Root Disease: SM-90 inhibits common anaerobic fungal and bacterial pathogens. Use for any root disease from ascomycetes pathogens including fusarium, pythium, rhizoctonia, phytopthera and sclerotinia. When added in small quantities to plant nutrient solutions, root disease infestations are inhibited and new root growth emerges. Treated plants develop greater root area and root runs and exhibit a generally healthier root development. Application rate: Apply 2 - 3 ml for each gallon of nutrient solution on a weekly basis.
Plant Infestations: Treat leaf or stem infestations by appying as a foliar spray. SM-90 eliminates many molds, mildew and leaf spot and is also effective for botrytis, blight, fusarium, leaf mold, rhizoctonia stem rot, sclerotinia stem rot and others. SM-90 also discourages and eliminates many common pests including aphids, thrips, spider mite, and whitefly. It is believed to act as a systemic to inhibit insect colonization and to deter reinfestation. Application rate: Mix 1 part SM-90 with 5 parts water. Spray directly on plant leaves and stems - be sure to spray entire plant as a prevention measure. Repeat every 3 days for up to 3 applications. Spray plants with water to prevent excess build during repeated applications.
An added benefit of SM-90 is an increase in metabolism and growth rate when used on a regular basis. A great choice for growers looking for a safe product to use on their consumable crops. Be sure to spray diluted solution within 8 hours of mixing. Keep away from sunlight.
NOTE: SM-90 will inhibit beneficial bacterial colonization. If you are trying to promote bacteria growth in your garden, this may not be a desirable additive.
Thanks for the input everyone.
This being my first serious attempt at hydro I knew I was bound to run into problems.I had 2 plants in stand alone DWC buckets doing fine up until about weeks 3-4 in flower.The ppm was constantly rising & the pH plummeting quickly.The roots appeared a bit dark but no slime,hard to say if it was from the LK or not...so I added some pH up & set the buckets at 6.5 hoping they would at least be able to uptake nutes as the pH went down until I could figure out what was wrong.The SourCali didn't show any ill effects at plant level but the OGKxBS started burning & "ram horning"..leaf tips turning black before drying out.I checked the bucket temps & it had gotten as high as 73.5 which only promotes bacteria.I now believe it to be pythium and have added some SM90 to remedy the problem.After 48 hours everything seems to be back on track & pH is rising again slowly as it should. If anyone else is running with somewhat higher than ideal temps I believe this is a must have additive.Even if your room is ideal temp remember that these airpumps are motors constantly running & they get warm so you're pumping warm air into your bucket...and yes it does smell very good.
The myth about SM90 contolling bugs or killing them is pretty far fetched. Dont let that fool you.
BTW Neem and SM90 are 2 TOTALLY different products that do different things.
