[Keef]

Bozzo have a safe trip !-- Let us know when U get settled in !!-- Guys I was having a talk with the Widow about shipping container grow and stuff when my Muse dropped in !-- He's a Smart Brother ! He say why don't U just get a V.A. loan and buy a house down the street and use it as your grow house ! Be a good investment and the Widow she say she'll pay for it !-- Maybe buy a waterfront canal home and use this place to grow !-- It's hard to argue with my Muse --he has access to info that I don't !

 

[bozzo420]

Umbra.... I have a question for you. I have been looking into mold prevention ,and you told me what you use. Lactic acid bacteria. or lacto bacillus. while looking it up I ran across Bacillus Subtillis. It is what Serenade is. I find a lot on the latter. but not so much on lactic acid as a soil amendment and foliar spray for mold. my questions are

1. are they similar in their affects.
2 why use lactic acid bacteria instead of bacillus Subtillis?
3. could I use both as a cocktail?
4. would they grow together?

serenade is pretty cheep. 20 dollars makes 8 gallons. could I just pour some serenade into the vat of lacto bacteria and let it brew.?

Just wondering why so much is written about the one and not much about the other.

I will be using one ,both, or a cocktail next year for sure.

thanks

 

[Hippie420]

For 15 bucks delivered, you can buy a pound of Potassium Bicarbonate. It doesn't necessarily prevent it, but it kills it on contact. Not sure how many tablespoonful's you get to a pound, but each one makes a gallon of spray solution.

It works.

 

[bozzo420]

hippie ,I'm doing it all next year. just like I did for mites this year. I'm not waiting to get it. I'm killing it before it shows up. I'm doing sulfur burns ,lactic acid bacteria in the soil and leaf spray, potassium bicarbonate , 4 fans running 24/7, planting mold resistant strains, you name anymore, I'll use it.

I'm even treating my grapes and raspberries just in case.

Oh yea I forgot...I'll be dipping clones in eagle 20. and will spray greenhouse and grow fence with it also before the plants go in. I did the same thing with flora mite this spring for mites . no mite problem at all

I also read over watering and over fertilizing can cause mold. and I probably do both.

For me LAB is easy and cheap. I do not know if they will grow together or compete with each other. LAB is in a consortium of microbes in EM1. Someone here turned me on to it, and using LAB for powder mildew. I tried it, and it worked. I think its efficacy is unknown outside the cannabis forum. The key to prevention imo is air flow not other microbes. However, I have found that using microbes as part of an organic process just has less issues in regards to pests and diseases. It is not that they are eliminated, just not dominate, so their effects are minimal.

looks like some of my freebies are hitting the streets. I sent out 20 packs of freebies at Cannazon. Trying to do some freebies at firestax as well. These were gdp x bpu

 

[Keef]

Congrats Umbra !-- I hope your "children " make U proud ! Why didn't I get any of them freebie seed ? Oh! That's right we can't do that !-- there has to be a backdoor here somewhere ! Mane !-- I used to think aero would be all complicated and stuff .-- listening to U guys talk about chemicals , bacteria, mold and all make me glad I fell into aero !-- I got good air flow and my humidity hovers around 50% and my worse problem so far has been a slime problem when my temp got too high on one box !-- added a couple gallons of nute solution since I felt the pump was heating my res. Dropped the res. Temp to about 77/78 and have had no problem since ! Be taking another set of clones tommorrow !- Life is good !

 

[bozzo420]

I agree about the air flow. the more fans I put in the better it got. but I am not going to depend on one thing.

Umbra . I guess Neville is out of retirement . there is a Neville seed company. and his seeds are expensive.

 

[Keef]

While we got Umbra cornered !-- Cuz U said the peeps in Cali was liking their Kush !-- if they want it there they'll want it here !-- what flavor do U suggest as a good starting point ?

 

[Beemer]

Bozzo when the one in the greenhouse started to flower I burnt some sulfur for about an hour and I had no mold of any kind after that. I did have 4 fans running. Now I'm smoking it and it is as smooth as can be and gets a person high. Sure wish I would have been able to get it to the finish. Have a safe trip south.

 

[bozzo420]

last year I ordered some nematodes when I ordered my ladybugs. There was a few million on a sponge so the said. I soaked the sponge in a bucket of water and sprayed my front yard. Those unseen nematodes killed the grubs and got rid of the moles .everywhere I sprayed nematodes. the moles left because they had no food there. All from microbe size nematodes. I love microbes lol

 

[Rosebud]

Bozzo, i need to get some for root vine weevil that eat my rose and lilacs. I hate those guys. I used to go outside with a flashlight at midnight just to kill those guys as they sleep during the day. I think those nematodes will help... Thanks for reminding me.
