If you mean this product:-



I tried it and had a lot of damping off, it works well if you are using a totally sterile medium.

[Natporucnik]

Thats the one OT1. BTW what do you mean by 'damping off'?

Thanks

Where soil/compost bourn pathogenic fungus attack the cutting wound and infect it before it can callus over. That is why most rooting mixes have a fungicide added to the hormone to protect the wound against pathogenic fungus. The problem is worse with soft tip cuttings.

[Natporucnik]

Thanks OT1, unfortunately your answer has given me a couple more questions. I hope I'm not trying
your patience, but what is a soft tip cutting and what would you consider a sterile growing medium?

Thanks again OT1

Hi OT1, I saw a mention somewhere earlier about honey, I use maxicrop and fishmix to make up my organic hydro feeds, would adding honey to it do any harm?, I can imagine that fishmix, seaweed and honey wont actually make it on Jamie Olivers menu, but maybe Rick Stein might take it on board...

{[(cannabliss)]} I have not tried the powdered type or seen it so cant say how it works, please let us know.

Lofty real black treacle in small amounts will feed the micro heard and it also contains potash and trace elements, I'm not sure if plant roots have the receptors that will allow the sucrose [disaccharide] across the membrane, I’m also not sure if honey will cross either, though the sugars are mainly mono saccharides and totally plant derived. They for sure will help if you have an inoculated medium.

We have discussed this before in respect to useing glucose I’ll see if I can find a link.

Thanks for that info, I'm told that Bio Bizz put mollasses in topmix and a few other products but I liked the sound of the honey, my wife buys manuka and I must say it tastes good to me B)
