I recently got some Essence, followed by the rest of the range.
I have plants in all stages of growth, and wondered how to go about applying products in combination. Does this sound right:
Essence + Boost + Bio-wetter applied together (Essence mix contains Catalyst) Apply foliar every 10 days until mid-late flowering?
Granules + Boost (drench) + Bio-wetter when re-potting.
Bio-silicon + Bio-wetter every watering from seed/clone, or foliar every 10 days alternating with Essense?. Is it OK to use bio-silicon as foliar 5 days after Essense? or together?
Should strengths be varied according to mixtures?
My other question is where to fit pest control measures into the programme - I use both SB Plant Invigorator and Neem oil, have read not to use SBPI, not sure about Neem.
Any plans for complementary pest control, ie works with Essense?
Cheers

Heya , it a living growing thing , why ?
Not sure what you are asking, maybe Plant Magic can answer your question as well.
Hi Laramie,
Our grow schedule is pretty much complete but this is really for our nutrient range and not as a beneficial proramme so to speak.
I will list below what I believe would work at what intervals, sorry, not very good at making charts or owt.
Essence - To be used every 7 - 10 days as a preventative.
If you have a problem use every 3 - 5 days until signs of nice, clean, healthy growth develops then revert back to the 7 - 10 days prevention programme.
If using on young seedlings, clones or applying every 3 - 5 days use the catalyst at halve dose, this will prevent in the uptake of too much Nitrogen resulting in burning your plants.
To really push your plants on throughout the vegatative stage then apply the boost @ the rate of 1ml / L of Essence mix. Do not ad this more than every 10 days apart though.
Boost - Most people are happy with applying it @ the rate of 1ml / L. DO NOT use more than 10 days apart, drench your soil / compost thoroughly and watch as the leaves become large and rapid growth.
As the plants become more established up the boost to 1.5ml / L.
Although it can be used in the bloom period, it is pretty pokey stuff so extreme caution should be added. I personally do not recomend using after the 2nd to 3rd week in bloom. Saying that, I did speak with one client a couple of months ago that did say his customer had used it all the way through and had the largest most dense produce he'd ever grown. I think he used it @ 1ml to 2 Litres of water every 10 days.......but I am not saying to do this, just sharing what I have heard from others.
Biosilicon - Use to water plants in @ the rate of 0.5ml / L
Then use at approx 2nd or 3rd week in veg @ the rate of 1ml / L. This will create elongated, hardier leaves increasing the photosynthesis activity and starts to bulk up the gerth of the stem ready for the blooming phase.
Use at week 2 of the flower stage @ the rate of 1.5ml / L.
Then, from start of week 4 - end of week 7 use every other watering @ the rate of 1ml /L.
You should see a noticeable difference in the size of the stems and the overall strength of the plant will improve significantly. The leaves will have a leathery type texture to them, excellent in keeping smaller sucking pests at bay i.e. aphids. But also, more importantly for these summer months, will see that your plants can withold hotter climates than what it would usually be exposed to.
Granules - These should be used at every stage of potting up to help kickstart and top up the beneficials. Clients have reported back, the more they use the quicker the development of their plants. So I just advise a healthy dose into the potting hole at each stage of potting up. This will populate the growing medium very rapidly.
I have probably gone on a tangent and off topic, so sorry about that. Hope the guidlines above are of some use.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. Can you just clarify the bit in bold as I'm not sure if you mean:
1. Re-apply within 10 days
2. Leave at least 10 days between applications
Cheers
Hi again,
Sorry, maybe I should have been more clearer.
Leave a minimum of 10 days between applications.
Hope it is all going well for you.
