Best way to apply chitosan oligosaccharide?

welderjesus69 · Jun 18, 2020

I bought some chitosan after stumbling upon an article about all of its positive effects on plants. I was wondering what the best method was for applying it? Root drench or foliar? And how much to use and how often to apply? The photo I attached shows what kind i purchased. Thanks!

You can use it as a foliar or in the growing medium or both. But you really should do more research before you start using PGP's on your plants.

use too much you'll get herms and Micro Nugs.... Its best used very minimal and more if your plants are sick

Sorry for reviving an old thread. I bought the same product. How was your experience with it?
