Yea was gunna ask you that if it had much affect on taste as you said to use the red powerfeed. Wat would you use for flowerin nutes

To be honest I've never really stuck to the one thing for flowering I'm always changing my game seasonally nearly
Searles potash was a gd liquid one but I don't mind maxibloom which is a powder
There's more than a few u can use which do the job
Saffasteve is on top of the flowering nuets he's always using a gd two or 3 beneficial ones

just saying that black stuff is not goin into my lungs
stuff like powerfeed, seasol and trace elements are only sposed to be watered in every two or three months or so not every day as they
are only there to supplement the soil from the extra watering
the nutes be it from a dry powder, ya mix up with water or cana, dutchmaster, or whatever brand, is better than power feed

i just remember a few years back giving a few plants a bit of powerfeed at what i thought was a week strength they grew great and i had heaps of nice looking weed just smoked up the worst i ever grown so i dont touch it now

U taking any notice of war I'm saying ??
I've never said it's a daily or even weekly fert to add ?
If your soil is made up gd from day one 2 or 3 times should be all u need
Eg: the biggest plant I have has only had megacrop 3 times so far ....the soil is doing the work

Just in the cupboard in a dome I wouldn’t put em near any heat. Conditions are pretty good atm to pop seeds, 5 years is pretty old did the seeds drop to the bottom of the cup when you soaked em? It doesn’t really matter but I’m interested to know.

When you've been building soils for as long as you have you begin to understand what effect each input has on the finished product.
There are some ferts like Bio Diesel (Guano) and Terpinator that give a certain taste to bud that's grown with it, not necessarily a bad taste and not the taste of the fertiliser but if you sample 5 different strains all grown using one of those products you can notice a common taste between them all. I'm not exactly sure but I think the cause is that certain elements will push production of certain terps harder than others resulting in those terps overpowering the others.
This has nothing to do with the colour of the fertiliser itself and if anything properly done soil grown organic bud has a much broader depth of flavour than bud grown with salt based hydro mixes.

There is allot of Sodium in Seasol. Shouldnt be used every week as your medium will get a build up. Lots of Boron which is beneficial. Shouldnt effect taste at all. Poor drying and curing causes harsh bad tasting smoke. Look at all the crap they put on tobacco.

Might as well be sodium in a bottle.. Think ill lay off the powerfeed an run water for awhile to start of flowering. As for taste ill soon find out i guess cause ive used pwrfeed th he whole grow.. plus tobacco tastes like crap but i keep going back for more

Anyone here able to steer me in the right direction, for an effective preventative spray or drench for botrytis?
One with no waiting period and org/eco.

What I can find so far-
"Serenade Garden", but no Australian store seems to be selling it, or anyone who will ship it over, even Amazon / Ebay.
"ecoprotector", seems to be wholesale only and 20L minimum size.
There's potassium bicarbonate from the hardware. Though i don't think it'll be effective for BT, it certainly doesn't say so.

Gets me every year and i'd like to knock it back a little.
Any advice is much appreciated, thanks.

eco protector - OCP Online shop

Environmentally benign fungicide for Botrytis control
shop.ocp.com.au
You can buy this direct from OCP online, I've never seen it used or seen trial results but they're a solid company so I'd expect it to be somewhat effective

Ag or rural supply stores should be able to get hold of it.

Thanks, there's one not far from me, i'll give them a call after Christmas.

If you get sufficient calcium into the plant tissue you will go a long way to preventing botrytis rather than relying on a treatment
Click to expand...
Yeah, i hear you, plenty of that in there.
Feel like i've done everything like that i can. Nice soil, regular mulching, remove debris and other possible sources, bin any infected material etc. February comes always really high humidity for me and it starts setting in.

Saw them too, 20L minimum pretty sure. If I can't get something from the rural supplies, I might just have to bite the bullet.

Cheers again, have a good one.
