the sulphume hotbox is a must if you suffer fungus. i cant grow without it, i know where the fungus is, i've thrown lime over it so i hope i got it all, its behind a partition wall. i use the hotbox once each week and it stops all fungal growth, even half dead leaves dont go worse. i dont use it 3 weeks before cut unless needs must. i changed my grow from night to day so i could use hotbox during the night, it worked good no complaints from my wife about the smell. i stopped using it while i changed the hours round and the fungus near overrun me again.
treakle is the second process of sugar cane, molasses is the third. i was paying 37p this year, but i orded molasses over the net, 6 jars will last over 2 years.

I use one generous teaspoon. That's only to make 1.5L in total though. Use 1 teaspoon per litre as a rough guide

With regards to the sulfume, it will kill most fungi, a lot of bacteria, fungus gnats and discourage mites and thrips.
If you use a sulfume at the levels needed to control leaf fungus, no point in inoculants or the like as the sulfume will kill them or inhibit them including in the compost.
You either use one or the other.

saturday is essense day.... bring forth my army of buddaliscous fungal warriors. i'll make plenty to soak the soil, and only repeat dose for the remainder of this grow, so as not to kill my own troopers with fungicides. cheers guys
