Hey folks,
Got some plants in a dirt mix here, all been treated with Fungus Fighter as they'd gotten sick (poss. pythium) whilst sitting in an Amazon unit for a while. I'd like to know if this systemic fungicide fades outa the plant system at some point where it becomes worthwhile using fungal innoculants (Trich. and VAM), or if its persistance is such that it will just keep killing off the goodies?..

It was actually via. an accident of dumbness that these got this treatment - I potted these young plants from Amazon into dirt as I'd planned, innoc. with Canna trichoderma (T003), RootGrow + (= VAM fungi), and Bio-Pac bacteria, and they took off really well immediately! I then got myself the Fungus Fighter for the plants I am to flower out in the Amazon, and sprayed them all (plus put some into the nute tank), then proceeded to absent mindedly treat the dirt plants in just the same way (sprayed leaves, and watered in too). It wasn't until the day after I suddenly realised that I WASN'T MEANING TO DO THAT!!! - I believe you can still make out the hand print on my forehead, and the pain-stricken "D'oh!!!' still echoing around the valley... heheheh...

Any chance that by next potting up time it'll be worth another fungal shot?

Cheers for any advice/experience folks, as ever.

all i can tell ya is i used canna aktrivator twice,foliar spray and mixed with roots on re-pot on my girls and it seams to have done the trick,with this stuff im pretty sure it collonises the 'HOST' plant and grows with it protecting all the time against new on-spurts.

hope this helps some?...not sure what ya soil prob is ya on about but i grow in dirt misen.

Thanks for the reply!

Well my current (main) grow is my first venture into hydro, so I'm normally a compost guy too. As for my problem - I have several young plants that were in my Amazon unit for a while, and they all suffered along with the main plants, when root zone temps shot through the roof a while ago. Looked like they could have a case of pythium or summink similar. I took the young plants out and potted into dirt/compost, and innoculated. As I said above, I then absent mindedly gave them a treatment of a powerful, systemic fungicide, most likely killing off the friendlies I'd put in there... I'd just like to know if/when I can give them another dose of friendlies, without any residual 'fungus fighter' making the exercise futile!

Cheers matie,

fuck me now your asking?!!..
