Hey everyone, I'm currently trying to get hold of webbys essence but in the mean time can i use some of my trichoderma herzanium as a defence/treatment of a minor fungal problem?

Will the spores survive out of the soil?
Do i need to brew it as you would webbys essence?
How often would i need to re apply?

Any other ideas of what i could use while i'm tracking down some essence greatly appreciated. Must be safe to use with beneficial fungi tho.
Bish
Of course you can use it.

Brilliant, cheers Bish.

Is there any benefit to brewing or bubbling the solution first or should i just go for it with some filtered water?
Bish
Bubble it first. Everything you need to know (& more) in in that thread mate.

You don't need to activate fungal spores

Molassses is to activate bacteria, fungi want more complex carbohydrates like seaweed extract or fish mix. Any fungi that make a symbiotic relationship like Trichoderma or VAM's need to penetrate the plant's cells to start extracting nutrients thumbsup.gif
