tell her more plants==== cleaner air.................who doesn't want that?:weed:
Surprisingly that's one of the reasons she's (mostly) cool with them. She's a pretty smart chick so I just throw some positive facts at her and I can get her to come around to most stuff! She did say no to another flower tent though =/
Oh whale. You can't win them all.

Aloe vera contains a bio-stimulate that triggers the plant’s defense mechanisms against a number of pathogens. Aloe vera, with a few other things, makes a great cloning gel. natural wetting agent; i'm sure more.
Salicylic acid stimulates a plant's SAR. The Indole-3-Acetic Acid is the rooting hormone component. First found in Willow bark, it is also the active ingredient in aspirin. Aloe is also high in saponins (I believe it has all four?).

Three cheers for Aloe! :clap:

So how do you add it to the plant? Is there a powder form you can disolve into water?

Aloe is really great for cuttings and seedlings - Salicylic Acid, IAA, etc.

The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include: Amino Acids, Anthraquinones, Enzymes, Minerals, Vitamins, Lignins, Monosaccharide, Polysaccharides, Salicylic Acid, Saponins, And Sterols.

Amino acids found in Aloe vera include: Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Valine,And Tryptophan. Some Of The Other Non-Essential Amino Acids Found In Aloe Vera Include Alanine, Arginine, Asparagine, Cysteine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Proline, Serine, Tyrosine, Glutamine, And Aspartic Acid.

Enzymes include Amylase, Bradykinase, Catalase, Cellulas, Lipase, Oxidase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Proteolytias, Creatine Phosphokinase and Carboxypeptidase.

Aloe vera also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12 along with Choline, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Chromium, Selenium. Additional elements found in Aloe vera include Copper, Iron, Potassium, Phosphorus, And Sodium.


I also have a belief that seeds are awaiting specific enzymes, pgh's, pgr's, humic acids, etc from the soil, or good vermicompost. If a seed needs water (rain) to wash off the anti rooting hormones encoded on the outer seed, it only makes sense it needs/expects/awaits other factors from nature.

Peace!

Sounds like Viagra for plants. Going to take some for myself.

You will not like the skin of the plant. 200x powder is far more palatable. I use it in a lot of stuff. I've come to the conclusion if it's good for the plants, chances are it's good for me.

Peace!

I use the 200x powder from ingredients to die for.

My old lady must be reading your posts. She uses it in some type of hair conditioner concoction and in a face cream she makes.

Pissing me off cuz she's used 3/4's of it on her friggin beauty products already. I recently hid it and told her we were all out. :-)

Lmao! Yep, my girl does the same thing. I noticed that one of her acne gel things was primarily salicylic acid, so I mixed some aloe up one time for her to try... mistake. It goes on her face, in smoothies, even cooking sometimes! Thank god she doesn't read this forum, or she would be putting it in her hair next! :roll: I love the stuff, but I hear ya on it being a little pricy. Ingredientstodiefor is by far the cheapest organic 200x I have found. I tried putting some fresh into a smoothie once, I'm not that tough! Whew stuff was Nasty!

Peace!

Ive been doing this for a few weeks now,not just with mary but my whole damn garden with excellent results!My aloe leaves give me about a tablespoon each cuz they not so big yet but just make sure to be careful filleting them.I use a butter knife cuz the skin is so tender but make sure not to get any skin mixed in cuz even after blending at high speeds those little green pieces will clog your shit and piss you off ;)
prett sure the fillets are 99.9% water. most of the beneficials are in the skin or lie against it.

I'm of the same thought. Which is why I cut a fillet off and throw the whole thing in a nutribullet or whatever they're called until it looks completely liquefied. Speaking of, I need to give my yunnan seedling some when I get home.

Yes. I do same. Immersion blender and R/O water. I do not agree with the practice of continual aloe aplication. My observation is that 1x every 10-14 days is most effective.

I find that aloe, fulpower, dextrose is a good foliar tonic at that interval.
