hope someone can tell me I've not wasted my last batch of essence. I did all as on the instructions but at some point during the day the temperature went to 35 / 36 degree's. Will the organisms definitely have been killed?

Your brew should be fine, most of the species can stand up to 42c before total destruction.

For best results in the future so all the species multiply equally, round 30c is best.

Will GrowthTechnology non-ionic wetting agent do as, er, the wetting agent?

hi,
ive put this in the sick plants bit so sorry for repeating it, was just wondering if i could brew up the essence say about 8 tonight and use it at about 7ish tomorrow night. if so do i need to add more stuff to it before i spray it or would it be ok to use what ive already brewed. im presuming you have to spray when lights go off.

thanks

You'll be fine to bubble for 23 hours If you've not added any catalyst you could add that into the sprayer.

And yes, always spray when lights are off

[DaftSkunk]

cheers webby,
just got some replys in my other thread too, but good to know its all good, i add the catalyst before i spray dont a?
thanks

whats the lowest temps i can get away with? i cant seem to get it higher than 28.5 and i think it will get lower later on in the night, also it doesnt seem to be frothing alot, does it froth more the longer it brews.


cheers

hi,
sorry bout the multiple posts, first time ive used this stuff. anyway i brewed the essence up at about 26-28deg and was still frothing 20 odd hours later, i put it in the spray gun, and soaked my plants and poured the rest into the compost, this sound ok, im about 4 weeks into flower will it effect the flowers/buds what ever the are at this stage. or should i make sure i miss them and only hit the leaves to avoid bud rot. i give em a proper soaking hope thats what ya meant t do.



thx

It stops botrytis or bud rot as you call it, frothing subsides when the microbes start to run out of enough food to multiply.

Well after mis treating my plants my LSF problem came back with a vengeance so I bought some more Essence. Thing is I am going away this morning and in the rush after brewing all night I forgot to put in the catalyst. Is the catalyst essential or is that just like a wetting agent to speed up the process? I will probably give them another dose in a week but just wondered if this dose had been a waste of time and money?
