Tasty top shelf shit all up in here Bro...I don`t surf this site as much as I used to , and apologize for not droppin in sooner for a big dose of respect......and.....
Here`s the thing out SM-90.....Way back in the day Krusty said and I quote.....5 ml per gal for root rot prevention if rootzone temps approach and go over 70 degrees , and I immediately bought the shit cuz his results spoke for themselves , and I used it every run sitill shutdown cuz I`m not 1 for additives except silicablast for stemwall strength , and cal/mag+ runnin coco.....but...
Nutrilife tried to enter the Cali Med market as an organic insecticide but was rejected , and ended up classified as a "wetting agent/surfactant" and never caught on in the hydro whore stores , but once again another aspect of it`s awesomeness I never knew about was the fact that it smothers rootborn critters in your medium , and refuses to allow the larvae to hatch thus ending the cycle ftw....
Critter....What I`ve preached for yrs with coco and SM-90 is to "innoculate" your medium in the preliminary soaking , hydating , low ppm nutrient charge with Cal/mag BEFORE plants ever get put in said medium ftw , cuz what it does is to "encapsulate itself" with the coriander oil suspension around dormant rootborn critters of EVERY sort and smothers em causing no chance of larvae bein able to hatch and proliferate....but....
Yas gotta use it BEFORE the infestation occurs or then it`s being RE-active instead of PRO-active once the lil bastards have hatched cuz they`re preventable guaranteed , but not once yas see em and they`re reproducing .....then....it`s...
Chemical warfare till they`re gone and the plants recover from their dreaded lil asses....
I had 1 fungus gnat infection and still don`t know why or how , and that`s why I`m screamin SM-90 can`t help yas once the lil bastards hatch , but I went to Lowe`s and got the "Skeeter dunks" full of BTI and crumbled em up and top dressed each container....
Watered it in and within 24 hrs they were ALL dead and the yellow sticky traps hung caught all the adult fliers ftw to end their ass in my laboratory conditions....anyways...
Just found this thread and wanted ta pop in and clarify bout SM-90 and say thanks for hookin me up with pics when I can`t see em........
Good luck and holler if I can help...I know where yas are now....
