Rick work perfect I am sure...yeah brews also more effective considerably than spore application though both work...Brews do some wonders, the soup of concentrated enzymes, and concentrations of microbes thousands fold more than bottled products. Seaweed extractwise, do a side by side..one brewed or applied with a european kelp, and one brewed or applied with the southern hemisphere kelp. If you get much better results with the southern hemisphere one, ie. auxins get your plants going rather than cytokinins, then you can almost guarantee there is another unseen factor affecting normal hormone production/levels..and that normally viral in which case mini clone TC won't clean that up. Though your symptom might dissapear, your underlying cause not so it will return. This happened to a mate of mine, who taught himself TC to do that specifically, to get away from this fusarium that was causing him headache after headache, and it did...temporarily. Until he realized that the mini clone TC was not clearing his viroid, that was causing the loss of vigour and the susceptibility to the fusarium, his problem would in time return and the vigour and yield would go south and the clone success would drop to the floor again. Once he got that out of the way, like us, did the root rots disappear.
But..I had such success and dramatic results from the brew applications, that i now realize they were doing something dramatic too to the viroid levels in those crops I was flowering back then.. I had winter crops that finished up amazing, no mold, frosted as anything, all infected, but all exported, made grade and customers happy, bosses happy. The microbe soup, does something directly through its enzymatic activity or SAR triggerinng or something to viral infections too. Makes sense, our best anti-viral medicines are mushrooms. Also I brew all those microbes, in batches, and nuke my supply dams with peroxide, test peroxide levels till dropped to 0, and then nuke them with a big tank of microbe brew. I have pythium and fusarium and phytophthera in my water, I get it tested, well in the supply at least. After peroxiding and dosing with the brew, a week to two weeks later I've had samples drawn and for globalgap audits, lab tests done, and they always have conformed to drinking water standards hahah while back at the ranch its half treated sewerage water and farm runoff that i am forced to fill the dams with, Ecoli tests thru the roof in water I am pumping in but when I pump it out, its good to drink according to tests, ecoli and other fecal coliforms non detectable. So I can assure you, this shit works.. We have to get all our shit tested, bud, water, everything...one has to legally exporting..I have to produce to GACP etc. standards, we get audited, everything gets tested...so what i do and use works, as i can measure its success or not. Im in a very fortunate position the last few years. We are probably our countries biggest exporter. Years of struggling with no resources made me resourceful, but now I have resources behind me, though its not my weed I grow, I just take a salary now for last few years and also am teh technical partner in consulting business and fertilizer business. I've grown literally tons after tons of export weed and probably hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weed been grown on my nutrient formulas by others. But the biggest factor IMO for those that have the basics down, is moving past viral infections. I dont even see fusarium anymore or etc..i just see viral shit underlying, causing secondary infections from weak immune systems, or viral shit affecting hormones affecting roots affecting water consumption leading to easily overwatering your clones, or plants leading to root rots especially with the weakened immune systems..but fundamentally the root cause being viral induced loss of natural oooomph.
But brews do wonders..
About 2 months ago we had a flood in the area, other farm got taken out a few greenhouses of tomatoes, plants all a meter underwater, same here with half of a 10000m2 greenhouse of tomatoes at this farm, I had a brew ready for the dam and although the bags were all a meter under water, once the waters had subsided, the next day with bags all waterlogged still, I rather than throw the brew in the dam, dumped it into the tank and gave a super concentrated feed of just 200ml per pot from a 200000L tank to inoculate them thinking it be override wetting already soaked anaerobic bags. The brew actually was a few hundred liters of thick ass ready to go brew, enough for a 5million litre dam, so essentially a 25x concentration to normal...anyway the plants on the other farm, same tomato strains, rotted out, all the roots rotted out, the plants on my farm, are 8-10ft tall now supplying tons of tomatoes. and from the flooded half to the unflooded half one cannot see a difference in the plants. The protective assistance from beneficial microbes cannot be understated. I even trial speciality microbes for a lab, and tried one recently side by side with others, that makes auxins like IAA and gives it to the plants, but it didnt make a difference, with viral shit inhibiting auxins so much. Spraying IAA directly through kelp extracts, or just having uninfected of viroid/virus plants made the biggest difference in that order from least to most.
