I was told its colloidal tech.
Colloidal- So oil, water and an emulsifier so they can’t separate?
I looked at this stuff for a long time when it came out. I used all their samples and it really worked well. Without knowing the science, I just can’t justify the price on a large scale versus just insecticidal soap and soybean oil.
Karanja oil is another good one. Reasonably priced too.
I really like using: Karanja oil, silica, Fulvic, yucca, grandevo (or venerate) in one mix.
But tbh, the only thing that was able to fully knock down the aphids (I believe they were hemp aphids) was “pyganic”. Literally one treatment and then back to my regular ipm. Never saw them again.
They were the most frustrating bugs I have ever dealt with. (Not counting broad/russets mites, they are in a league of their own)
These are the only bugs I had any sort of issue with this year…
I love talking ipm lol
Ill check it out, currently just lots of foliar and cleanliness and intake filtering ,rh/temp in check.
My homie in Ireland, you’d love his tea/ mixes, the man in a probiotic fein. He’s grown in many parts of the world including Africa, very knowledgeable fellow. Plus he grows some dank organic on the big green island
I have 3 sample bottles of this stuff.
It’s been collecting dust on my shelf.
Of which?
Nice frothy foam head on that one. What all are you using?
Ditto. What’s in your mix?
Chelators, organic acids, antioxidants, and complexors increase tolerance to salinity, bugs, mold, temperature and biotic stress. Of course any of those factors that are overdone can still stress, burn or kill a plant.
Pure crap (I mean crop) 1
I find pure crop a little suspect (appears to be a canna taxed variation of suff oil - x) for a company that uses soybean and corn oil in there emulsion how do you claim…
“Although it’s active ingredients are corn and soybean oil, it is in fact NOT an oil.” Imagine trying to legally defend that… I dosed these brownies with distillate officer but it don’t count now the oils mixed .
I shred thc drinks down to sub 200 nanometers just because the particles are small enough to homogenize/emulsify doesn’t mean it you(they, i) created a new molecule, or “catalyzed” the mixture in some matter to (de) protonate or some other molecular altering process.
That being said 2.5 gallons of suff oil-x is cheaper than a .5 gallon of pure crop. And its 4.5-5x the active ingredients (fractioned mineral oil) with a 4 hour rei. Everything I’ve used with less REI never finishes off the entire population always just kills the bulk.
Only difference i see is that suff oil is also an acaracide(kinda a huge ipm deal… MITES?) while pure crop is a microbial stimulant. Dunno how but I’m all ears
Also you could spray bring bugs into your room 2 days later and the start of the infestation will die before it begins. Leaves will be looking shinnyy
There is/was a huge thread a yr back on thcscammer.
Whats the price comparison on oil X per gallon compared to Pure crop($156 per gal)? Dosage rate is 2oz per gallon so it makes 64 gallons of spray($2.44 per gallon of spray). On an 8 week cycle it’s $19.52.
More active ingredients than previously thought
$60 per 2.5 gallons, 6 times the active ingredients, it actually targets our biggest predator - mites. Even if it was more expensive I’d run it. It advises a 1-2% dilution. Stick it at 1 myself. A gallon would make 100 gallons here.
Have you tested your flower after using it?
Yes no issues, we don’t spray after week 2.
Come to think of it, considering its a fractioned mineral oil and its boiling point is 300ish. Safe to safe even if you sprayed late and it left hydrocarbon solvent residuals(dont believe it does but can’t answer indefinitely) it’ll likely be a longer chain not tested for. Not saying that makes it acceptable or should be shot for but yea.
I think I have Pure Crop 1 figured out.
Ingredients: oil, water, glycerin, guar gum, citric acid, soap, vanillin.
