You are dead on with that statement about the unseen things. No comment about the tea but what are you going to do with the green house? Aloha
Thanks that is what I was guessing never had to use one of those before. Clones grow about a foot after you bring them out side and they are done in 2 mos. I will be cutting my green house down and replanting with long season seed crop mid July. The Trainwreck X Twisted sis is amazing. Now all I need is it to stop raining. We have had 44.5 inches this year a little less then normal. Sorry to ramble on your post had to put down my 14 yr dog today so just needed to ramble.

Have you used the VAM product before? I keep seeing ads for it in Acres, USA.
Weather got like last year today, too.
jealous, what?!?
If you understood the word jealousy, you would know its foolish to be jealous of anything in this thread. You can do it too, my man.
Trichoderma harzianum (RootShield etc), Bacillus subtilis (Companion etc), Streptomyces griseoviridis (Mycostop etc), etc are all fairly broad spectrum biofungicides. These are soil fungi, bacterium, actinomycetes - they are the beneficials in the soil. What we are talking about is simply upping the population of particular beneficials that target particular soilborne pathogens. If I had leaves that were still down 3 weeks+ after transplant through various soil saturation levels, and they were not rootbound and no breakage etc, then I'd start to suspect that something may indeed be amiss down below.
So far so good over here, but I have confirmed several cases of fungal disease this year already (and June is early for this historically) in different gardens where the only common denominator seems to be this snotty spring we just had. So I am inoculating for soilborne pathogens, as a preventative measure.
For Mycostop, I stir a 5g pack into 1/2 gallon of water, let rest for 30min, stir again, then mix that solution into about 12 gallons of water in the sprayer. Soil surface spray about 1 gallon of that per large container (so a 5gram pack does about 12 large containers), then water-in to a depth of about 2 inches or so. -T
