Great to her, the more sharing findings, the better.
Haven't used
milk / water to fight PM tbh, but I have never had to worry about it.. selecting strains resistant to it is a big pro active step that has to be considered, and the frass helping a lot in that regard too, I've just been fortunate to avoid it these last 12 rounds
If I was having
issues with a strain, I would apply
- AACT for its biofilm, right after hitting it with
- milk 6:4 water
- LABS,
- frass foliar
Apparently sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can affect its ph and kill it but I don't dig carbonates much.
Regarding the teas, though, which I am open to them on smaller pots if need be, or whenever need be, I just don't like adding P to the soil during flower, if I can avoid, or rhizospheres more so, it can negatively affect the beneficial "bite" the myco have going on, which are the real champion workhorses in a finish. Nevermind ph fluxes so much.. in a high humus that's well buffered.
If messing around with flowering teas, I would consider trying this though :
pre feed a fungal dom bit of soil with fungal food, and get it highly fungal, and use that to give fungi a head start for brewing .. since they cant multiply like bacteria boost their numbers so they can all start growing one cell at a time .. then use that fungal super tea to up the fungals for the finish.. they're the heavy decomposers and can get those water insolubles broken down.. be it rock minerals or softer, there's your big eaters right there.
A flowering ferment may be big too, I've Never felt the need for one yet, but with the SIP designs coming up, it might be something I consider myself for once.
That'd be my approach anyway, to give you a bit different perspective!
Blazing up the gravy,
