Aspirn

[MountainBudz]

I'm a week or so or maybe two into flowering right now and was wondering how to use aspirn as a foilar spray. I understand that it activates the plants SAR and that is something I want to do. Aspirn is cheap. The only catch is I also read that it turns females into hermies? That however is something I don't want. But at the same time I hear that it produces huge healthy vigorous plants, that is what i'm looking for. My plants are pretty darn healthy the way it is, but I wanna give them girls a boost. Is there a specific ratio to use? Anyone have experience using aspirn?

1_325 mg per gallon Bayer or standard powered pill so it dissolves .

I add it almost every other feeding never had a herm just healthy plants

 

[MountainBudz]

Thanks man! Can you tell me the benefits you have seen and witnessed after beginning your aspirn routine compared to before you used it?

Also what is everyones favorite foilar spray mixture in the beginning of flower?

Prolly catch shit for this, but eagle20 is my favorite beginning of flower spray. Especially where I live. Spray at the beginning of August, and come October plants are eagle20 free, and mold/budrot free.

yea, I wanted to recomment insect killers as a usefull foliar spray but anti-fungi stuffs also important.

if you want to foliar feed them, not to save them... than I'd buy some chem foliar liquid nute from the agricultural store.

does eagle 20 protect against bud rot? i thought it was just for powdery mildew?

You and me both brother. Thats odd, I have been searching the web for eagle 20 and decided to go ahead and use it, I have a feeling that this will possibly be a wet, moldy year. So while I was at my local hardware store today I seen a few bottles of immunox and said what the hell, and grabbed them. They contain 1.55% Myclobutanil whereas eagle 20 has 20%. But, it still should work the same, will just have to repeat the spraying process a couple to three times.

I was wondering the same thing if it protects against bud rot, I have read however that everyone that has ever used it has really healthy unaffected plants, including bud rot as well. I however have not heard anyone say it works directly for botrytis. I have looked on the label and it doesn't state gray mold or botrytis, but have read on a few commercial horticultural sites that it does protect against it. I'm going to spray them anyway though and see what happens.

What I have used before for bud rot for a last resort other than organic methods was Daconil. It worked okay, but I was already infected and hit by it hard, which this time im trying to prevent it from happening in the first place. I just have way to many plants in different areas and locations to be running back and forth treating them organically. I'd love to though and next year probably will as my plant number will only be a fraction of this years, only much larger plants.

Ky, if you find anything out bro make sure and post it here, i'm very interested in this.

After opening the label up and reading a bit I do see it listed for treating and preventing brown rot and black rot. Not sure it this is the same as botrytis or not, but it also says on the front label it cures and prevents ALL ajor diseases.

Where did you have your analytics done to determine that there was no residual myclobutanil? Our analytics show that myclo is still very present after 60 days. It's really dangerous stuff, I'm against its use at all, but even more so if a product is labeled medicinal

ya im sure its gonna be another wet moldy year. thats why i been feeding the shit out my plants with silica and activating SAR in the plants. i got a small 2 oz thing of eagle 20 off ebay. u only gonna use 2ml according to description. i will if i hear anything hopefully Double will post back and let us know,but he did say bud rot

Edit: u can make the concentrate a bit stronger. what i did was buy the ready to spray immunox 24oz and then i added 1.25ml of eagle20 that i got off ebay to be ready just in case the organic measures dont work for me. i also got a 16oz concentrate of daconil which i hope i never have to use them but before i lose all my shit again this year to mold like i did last year then i will take my chances. i figured the cigs will kill me faster then eagle20 or daconil. its untelling what i been smoking when i have to buy it off the street anyways

I spray with uncoated Bayer aspirin mixed in with sea crop and RH or filtered tap water. I do this at least once a week. I also use Regalia twice in veg and once at the beginning of flower.

[SurfdOut]

Hemp, what you think of Regalia? Hope you doing good bud! @HemphreyBogart

 

[Hemphrey Bogart]

Regalia helps the plant to defend itself, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it will stop an established fungal or bacterial infection in its tracks.

As you know, establishing and maintaining overall plant health should be the main goal. I see people spraying stuff in a reactionary way when they see something ain't right. My goal is to never get to that point in the first place.

That said, I use it more as a preventative than a cure. Haven't had any significant mold since I started using it, but then again...I'm growing much healthier plants than I have in the past thanks to all the advice I read here at ic.

If I could recommend any product, I'd tell everyone to buy some Sea Crop. That stuff is the bomb. First heard about it from Father Earth, byf and milky joe in the aea thread and I'm a convert.

[Kygiacomo!!!]

i agree with Hemphrey its a preventative bio-fungicide. if u dont get it applied before the infection then it wont be effective is what the rep told me. i been using it since around mid june. its defo gave my plants alot more vigor then i have ever had before growing the same strains. this is my first year using it but so far i like it pretty well. the real test will be is if it can hold my plants off from getting bud rot in a guerilla grow..only time will tell my plants are all flowering right now

 

[20sackzack]

Hey Hemphrey, that sea crop looks very interesting. Do you use it as a soil drench or a foliar or both? Also what's the aea thread? Thanks

 

[Hemphrey Bogart]

You can use it both ways, although I mostly use it as a foliar spray. The aea thread is here

Lots and lots of very useful information in that thread.

Well, I done a whole 325 mg per gallon spray about 5 days ago on a few plants in early flowering mixed along with calmag, tiger bloom, botanicare pure blend tea, superthrive (the new one with Kelp) and a little bit of primordial sea grean.

The difference in before and after are clearly visible, I also used it on my tomato plants the same day. The tomatoes are much greener and grew in height noticeably. The girls responded the same but not as much height as width and vigour. Looks like steroids for plants!

 

[20sackzack]

Awesome! Thanks for the link Hemphrey! I've got some reading to do now.

yea it defo works man. i been inducing SAR with 4 things at different times. insect frass for chitosan,aloe for salicylic acid,b-52 for B-1 and B-2, and regalia. this year i got some the biggest delahaze plants that i have ever had in my life. i got the Daconil concentrate though that i used on week 1 and will use again on week 3 or 4 and then hopefully that will be enuff to coast me on through flower without any mold issues. i went to lowes and bought me on those round up spray tanks which really soaks the plants and does them very good and gets to places high on the plant that i cannot reach with the spray bottle
