@Roger A. Shrubber see what you started if you keep giving away all your secrets you could become a cult leader. You got three people buying shit with one word. “Spinosad”

I would follow this Roger blindly into battle.

it's good stuff, but it's not the only stuff. i don't like straight neem oil, but at .9% it's good in garden safe fungicide 3, which is both a fungicide and pesticide. it's not OMRI, but it is organic rated.
i keep a bottle around, mostly for my outside plants, but it works pretty good on powdery mildew, which is occasionally a problem with young seedlings or cuttings.
actually, a teaspoon of dish soap and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a quart of water used as a foliar spray will kill most common pests, even spider mites, if you catch them early enough.

If you had zero insects/pests or mold etc.
What would you use as a purely preventative regimen?

silica and neem oil...my prejudice against neem is from the smell, which i hate. if you use neem as a soil drench a couple of times early in veg, it acts as a systemic and stops any kind of mold or mildew, and repels/kills most pests, and the smell doesn't get spread all over the plant. Silica helps make plant stems stronger, and makes them more drought and pest resistant, but you only need to use it maybe twice in a plants life. i use it once when i repot out of sprouting/cloning sized containers, and once when i put them into their final pots.

I use Southern Ag Garden Friendly Funcicide as a preventative for rot and mildew. I usually give the plants a spray of it at 3-weeks flowering, and then don't spray anything after that. I also use mono-silicic acid to strengthen the plants. For pests I will use oil based sprays, either soy oil and/or essential oil based. I also order predatory mites every cycle, just to fight back any potential intruders early. If I do end up with a problem, I will use spinosad.

I’m going to buy some OHN off of Chris trumps website soon to incorporate into my garden. Suppose to be pretty magical at keeping your plants disease free

So, way back when… I bought a shit load of Kellogg organic soil. I put a review that said “if you’re looking for great soil just get Kellogg a and throw it out an get anything else for soil. Legitimately got splinters from working with this stuff”.

today I got this in the mail



I still won’t be using their soil for my cannabis but The customer service is pretty good

I wouldn't use that for an indoor grow in containers. It's mostly wood and chicken manure. It stinks as well. I've used that exact product. There is no peat or perlite in it. Just wood and chicken manure with extremely small amounts of a few amendments tossed in probably just to make the ingredients look better.

"Aged recycled forest products, aged arbor fines, composted chicken manure, bone meal, alfalfa meal, oyster & dolomite limes (as pH adjusters), bat guano, worm castings, and kelp meal"

You can give it a go in that stuff but I sure wouldn't.

You must have an extra n95 around somewhere lol

hope they work better than the combat ear plugs!
