I've got this down to a T now, with the setting on my water heater just perfect (after quite a bit of messing about). I brewed it overnight, and when I got up this morning it was still frothing at 32.4c Hopefully this should now eradicate the LSF.

Just finished doing a brew of this, I was dreading it but it was so easy. Dont know if it has worked yet but it was foaming the whole time. I didnt bother with a heater, just used warm water then let it sit in the tent under the light.

So cheers PM, was much easier than I had expected.

Yes ofc it's easy to mix a bit of warm water and the ingredients, but getting the correct temperature is another matter. Easier with a water heater though.

...too hot will also kill out a portion of the culture, 20c will not.

last time...

IT REALLY ISN'T THAT IMPORTANT TO HAVE IT BANG ON BETWEEN 30 AND 33.

YES MATE and I've got it working perfectly, or have you not been following the thread? Tell me, what is your understanding of the instructions where it says 'for best results brew between 30-33c?' Unless I missed the bit where it says 'mix it up with a bit of warm water and leave it'

Fair enough dude.

Thing is lots of other people read these boards so it's best they get the full story.

I think 32.0167 deg c is what ya should be aiming for

Yeah, using the essence as preventative , 23 days into veg. A few of the plants are looking nitrogen hungry to me so I was hoping to add fishmix to the brew at the end to give them a nitrogen boost as well (prob dont need watered for a few days and yellowing is worsening on a few plants). One in particular looks really hungry. This is a bottom leaf I removed

OT grow is much more bioavailable than fish mix, but in your case I would not use a N high fertiliser, while your problem is not a type of leaf fungus I know, it looks like something is damaging the veins in your leaf, you are not showing a deficiency but a dying leaf due to other causes possibly fungal adding a dose of N may make the problem worse.

Have you sprayed these plants with essence before?

I would remove damaged parts of leaves by cutting back to clean tissue, or in the case of the one you show remove it complete from the stem in that case as the problem starts at the leaf base, remove all diseased tissue from the grow area..

Then spray with essence at lights out, after brewing add a little seaweed extract mix then .5ml of biosilicon if you have it, add enough wetter to dampen the leaves evenly, if the wet coat forms up into droplets you don't have enough wetter

I sprayed them 13 days ago with essence ( 2 parts water, 1 part essence). I've got bio-silicon too so i'll add that. My brews ready before lights out at 2pm today. Much appreciated OT, cheers.

ETA new growth has a few marks on top of serrated edge too

Hard to tell from pic but the marks have a purplish tinge to them.
