Secret Ingredient?!?

That's right CC, from what I know a similar compound used to be sold to farmers under the name ETHREL, which is now banned in the EU.

Ethrel® is a growth regulator used in major horticultural crops and cereals. It promotes ripening in tomatoes, reduces curing time and promotes colour development in flue-cured tobacco, accelerates fruit maturity in apples and blueberries and loosens mature fruit from the stem in cherries for easier harvesting. In cereals, Ethrel is used to reduce lodging.

That compound is metabolized by the plant which produces Ethylene.

From Bayer Crop Science - a fierce competitor of Monsanto.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, water extract (full of saponins called gypenosides, and a ton of other great things) -- I add it to my foliar feeding regimen which is Cap's bennies with either Bio-AG Ful-Power or Sea-Crop. Roughly half a cup of strongly brewed tea per 5 gallons. I also water with gypenosides + ful-power when clones first start to root.

Sango coral calcium powder
organic vine ripened banana powder or flakes
bastnasite crystals from pakistan in/on the soil

Thanks Nader, learned a new plant today :)


Scientific studies found out that Gynostemma Pentaphyllum has disease-prevention and therapeutic features. It contains numerous saponins (soapy chemical compounds), trace materials, amino acids, vitamins and proteins. Well-known as an herbal medicine, it is famous for its anti-oxidant and adaptogenic effects. Herbs with anti-oxidants help prevent aging. The adaptogenic characteristic of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum makes it superior over ginseng . Gynostemma as an adaptogen increases the body’s resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety, and fatigue. What makes Gynostemma an amazing herb is its anti-aging and rejuvenating effect.

Is there any handy way to use AACT teas that have gone anerobic?

Explain a bit more about, how anaerobic it is? Too much food stock? You let it sit for a month with no air? What does it smell like? Or did it just not have "enough aeration" per gallon of tea?
 
Hey Seandawg, not too long, but overabundant food sources is usually the culprit. or days when the heat shoots up and the lovely 36 hour tea should have been used about 18 hours ago. I brew with EW, hi-brix, a inch of azomite, dried yucca and sometimes a splash of B-1

Throw it on the compost pile, along with your old orgnic nute bottles. The compost's microbes will know what to do with it, kind of like throwing sheep to the wolves......scrappy

I agree with scrappy!
Compost pile will do just fine with it.

I just had to ask first to make sure it wasnt some sewer sludge before i recommended it lol.

I say shut 'er down and post some pix if U all r 4 real....the proof is in the pix. A feller can talk all day...but being able to back it up with a visual aid is helpful here.
