Chitosan

You guys need to send out a good supply of samples for people to try. I would like to see some data analysis of your product and MSDS sheet. I had a look at your site it need work. I could not find that product in your store only wallets and purses.
Most got it from here

You can also get it from Ebay. I twill cost a bit more.

I got it cheap from Alibaba. The stuff I got does not fully disolve. My question for TvBen is does it completely dissolve?
Crap I got had great MSDS and product quality, if information was true, but clogs the filter on my RDWC, using a tablespoon to 35 gallons.

The stuff I got from them doesn't dissolve 100% either. I just shake it up in a jar with warm water than add that to the reservoir. Works good.

what about other oligosaccharides besides chitosan, anyone found a source for those ? Canna boost claims to have some other oligos in it...
The stuff from Bestchito is good. It should be Chitosan Oligosaccharide Orange in color. Never used the white stuff.. If you look at that site there are different kinds. I'm only familiar with the Orangish powder. When I got mine my friend said this is the right stuff..

Funny you brought that up. I had ordered a bottle of Tidal Vision Chitosan Beverage Fining Agent on Amazon just today. I figured itwas 4 times as strong as Agri-House ODC Colloidal Chitosan so I ordered it and figured using it at 1/4 of the rate Agri-House states should be like using Agri-House's stuff.
I have no idea how many PPM's it is at 1% but maybe you can enlighten us with that information...

Another Easy Source for Chitosan
Another Easy Source for Chitosan
High Tide
Amazon purchase link
It states 1/4 oz / Gal or 2ml/L

Quoting my own stuff since I can't edit...
Anyway, I believe this would be about 9.46+/- grams per 100ml (50ml of H20 and 50 ml of acid to dilute solution) Result would be 1% solution for 32 OZ or 1L.
Now I just need the PPM of a diluted solution at the rate of 1/4ml in 5 gallons of H20 to see if this is a viable solution to mixing/sourcing my own Chitosan.
BTW Tria Rocks!

I am guessing a 1% solution is 10,000 PPM.
Stock concentration - 10,000 PPM
Volume from stock - 1ml
Final concentration - 200 PPM
Final solution volume - 50ml
So for a 55 Gal Rez I would need 4200ml of stock solution!
Not a viable source of chitosanUnless you can tell me different. This would be worse than Purchasing Bud Factor X.
Also, is Chitosan better taken up by drench than foliar or vice versa?
I know Tria is better by Foliar than drench.

I don't think I've posted enough times to PM, but I'll get at you as soon as I hit the mark.
Sorry if I was vague before. I posted that last message when we were still learning about this particular industry. We still aren't experts in chitosan as it applies to cannabis and horticulture, but I'm definitely able to help you get what you need. We are now distributing High Tide—which is 100% parallel to Bud Factor X in effect, as our research has showed—in a few hydro shops in WA, and are happy to ship High Tide directly to growers or work with local shops.
Email me at [email protected] and we can work out pricing and technical details.
We can send you a 55 gal drum in lieu of having you dilute it that much. Email me at [email protected] for pricing.
My guess is that you need an organic acid to dissolve what you have. Worst case, a little vinegar (containing acetic acid) should do the job. Otherwise, this stuff is chitosan already in solution as a liquid form: https://www.amazon.com/Tidal-Vision-Booster-High-Tide/dp/B06XBQ1W7W
I should also mention that chitosan oligosaccharide is the stuff that dissolves in water without any acid. Basically it's chitosan that has been distilled with ethanol. We don't have the equipment (or demand, so far) to produce that variety as of yet, but (sorry to repeat myself) we can get it to you in a liquid or in a dried out flake form (think drying salt water to get sea salt), that requires an organic acid to get it to dissolve in water.
If you have any more questions, again, definitely don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected].
Sorry for the double message—forgot to answer that last part. Drench is typically preferred, but plenty of the growers we work with swear that supplementing with a regular (4-5 times a week) foliar spray increases the number of flowering sites.
Also, anecdotal, but I've talked to a grower who said he tried daily sprays on a heat-shocked sapling and it bounced back in less than a week. I don't yet have hard data to back that up, but we're currently getting in some larger research pipelines to test some of these theories.
