Oh, and the ole forum adage about overwatering plants = fungus gnat is utter bullsheet! If there were never FG larvae in the soil to begin with, there wouldnt be a FG. Fg dont miraculously show up in the water.
BMC lift is the only thing i use when I see knats. One dose and you will not see another one for that cycle.
the first time I saw hemp aphids I looked up aphid so I took the plants outside and washed them with a hose. An argument was going on next door and it ramped up to me hearing a fight with blows landing. So i shriveled inside and then was thinking- is my neighbor winning? I grabbeda 45 and was going to walk my dog now- i left the 45. Then on my dog walk It seemed the situation was handled. I walked the dog. On the way back there were cops popping out of bushes at me with m4 machine gunns. they calmed down as im just walking a dog but they followed me and shit and i just stopped and was like wtf??? They passed me and went to the cars. All over a teenagers fighting.
oh back on point, Im glad they didnt use flashights on the wet plants in my yard. Now the tree that I washed them under is infested and its 100 feet tall. Fuck me.
Iām down to my last 1.5 bottles of promis. Iāve been using this for FG larvae prevention. Itās been banned or discontinued. It works, but Iām sure its overkill for just FG. I may give the bmc lift a shot.
How much do you use?
10ml per gal.
My buddy in organics swears by BMC Lift.
AGT-50 has beneficial organic acids, right? Pyroligneous acid (liquid smoke) has totally different types of beneficial organic acids. Since using AGT-50/wood vinegar as a foliar/drench, I havenāt seen any pests or disease.
Holy sheet
130.00 per gallon
Still cheaper than promis. 40.00 per bottle at 2ml/gallon
Me toooooo!!
Edit: I heart agt and bamboo vinegar
itās biological action is not exclusive to the roots, although I am not sure if itās toxic in your smoke
I only use this for cloning. Iām sure itās not systemic or is well out of the plant come chop time 18 weeks later.
Also, this is the main ingredient in 80% of the cloning solutions on the market.
I have gotten so lay with cloning that the extras I leave in a glass of water- they all root. By then they need a whole reveg thing but cloning is easy.
I think foliars are much more dangerous in general
Foliars prevent pests and disease. As long as youāre not using Bayer agrochemicals, you should be alright.
The only natural product (or āorganicā, I despise people using that word) I warn against is Azomite. It has soluble salts of heavy metals and too much aluminum, which can cause toxicity and acts as a calcium sink in organics.
EDIT: You have to pay OMRI to use the term āorganicā just like the Better Business Bureau. All organic means is that it contains hydrogen and carbon. Thereās nothing magical about āorganicā growing compared to salts. Itās all the same 16 elements and 5 biostimulant types absorbed by plants. Thatās why I despise the term āorganicā.
Preach
There is an epic thread here full of information that should be pinned in the Botany and Cultivation. Check it out!
all insecticides herbicides fungicides has some degree of toxicity, I challenge you to find an exception to this rule! but this growth hormone thread, point being that shit spayed on your leaves/bud is more dangerous than shit spread on your roots. not that I am making a case to do either. the theory is that if you are over dosing your roots the plant will self regulate the levels in your vegetation/buds decreasing personal risk of toxic exposure
I donāt disagree with you. If you are combusting or chemically extracting plant matter to put into your body, itās all about harm reduction.
the way many people use the word āorganicā means much more than that, but yes you are semantically correct
BMC lift, but i already said that.
Look at the dosage rates. I use 10mlnto nuke everything in one application.
