I love their mykos for transplanting. And azos for cloning. Definitely good products. Going to have to check out that tea haven't seen that yet.

The guy owns a shop by me. They make it every Wednesday and give it away! Guy was real chill. I know I've passed their greenhouse on the 101 in Gilroy before..

Here is Jozikins major pest alert for the 2014 season:

Broad mites! They are everywhere this year in southern and northern California! They are as small as a trichome, and take a 100x scope to tell them apart from trichs because at first they appear the same shape and color as a amber trichome. THEY DO NOT MAKE WEBS, and they make tiny blemishes on leaves which are not immediately noticeable. Recently infested plants appear to have a magnesium deficiency, and severe infestations show a full NPK deficiency. Although they rarely kill plants, they severely reduce yields.

Keep an eye out, it took me 2 crops of .33 grams per watt to figure it out, and another crop to kill them. If you find them in your plants, I recommend something hard core, like AVID to treat them, as they are highly resistant to most organic treatments.

Caterpillar season just started as well, so keep the BT in your arsenal until at least week 3 of flower. If you didn't start using it before flower, it'll already be too late

I had to deal with broad mites in Reedley last year!They can completely destroy a plant make it twist up...worst bug I've ever had to deal with.if you submerge clones into 100 degree water for 10 min it should kill everything on and in the plant supposedly. ..they burrow into the stems and live inside the plants. .they travel in groups on Flys legs from plant to plant...dudes at the hydro shop said the government released them a few years ago to ruin the crops!! Lol fucken pot heads!
