tseuG Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well i got it from greens if it is i'm pretty gutted cause i've got an outbreak just now and really need to get it applied tomorrow, dont see how it could be granules though, it would mean granules have been put in a tub thats meant to be essence then sealed and shipped plus surely everyone else who got it from greens would have the same stuff. I'd still give it a go. I think I read Granules contains the same mix of bacteria as Essence so it should still work, just might not be as potent (since Granules is mixed with other stuff) and you'll need to make sure the big bits don't go into your sprayer. Not nice tho, I just got my Essence from greens and it's the right stuff... I'd have been very annoyed if I got granules. Anyone have any ideas about the questions I posted 5-ish posts back? Mainly the last question I could do with being answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptSmash Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wish I had read this thread properly instead of speed reading through it I applied essence today, Last time I applied essence was about 7 days ago and tbh I was a bit pissed of when I went to use it as there was no froth left, so this time I used it 9 hours later when it was on full froth mode, now realise the best time is when the froth has de-frothed itself. I am using too much, 4, seedlings (2wks) 6 clones (4wks) and me mother.. roughly 3 teaspoons of essence in 2 litres of water not happy with using the soap flakes as a wetting agent and as I am now out of essence I need to get some more and will get the yucca wetting agent. My plants never looked healthier, leaves praying up to the light the lot Am holding of a foiler spray with the epsoms, they don't look like they need any, but think OT1 said it would not do any harm, but that could be the water feed.. I would sooner not have to be told by the plant that it needs epsom salts, and rather think I can use it as it wouldn't do any harm, believe one teaspoon per litre for foilar spray is okay? sorry drifting of topic. Essence... ABSOLUTELY A-FUCKING-MAZING. lol lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom o'rite Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know if you could use squashed fresh aloe vera as a natural wetting agent or would have to process it in some way? I think it's meant to have surfactant properties. Edited July 17, 2009 by tom o'rite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sparkle Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I don't understand why there's 2 jugs, can't essence just be made up in one container? it'll be easier for me to maintain the temperature consistently if it can oh and what colour is essence, catalyst and bio-silicon? Iv'e used vitalink silicon or something before and that was clear but all my bottles of plantmagic stuff is brown of varying consistencies/smells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sparkle Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I reread the topic and I guess it doesn't matter about the 2 jugs what about pH of the water, is that important? mines about 7.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
