That stuff reads up to sound pretty dope!
Bummer is only gota 30 day shelf life n that's refrigerated.

Does say it treats broad mites! So it could b a bennifit to add to a IPM rotation!..

I def encourage anyone using it to post up there results.
Keep up the great work everybody.

Big ups respect and happy growing.

the real problem with MET & PFR is that inorder for them to be effective you must maintain 60% humidity at least... that's next to impossible in a non-sealed room in colorado.
that's why i haven't jumped on the PFR & MET to fight bugs.
i do foliar feed with BTI from time to time, altho that needs the humidity to thrive in the phylosphere as well. but i have the BTI laying around, feed it to the roots regularly to help keep the flying insects down...
father earth suggested PFR in his broad mites thread, we discussed the necessary humidity levels being an obstacle in some areas/growing conditions (especially very arid). i think it probably does work very well... like heusinomics said - i'd like to hear about people's experience with using it PARTICULARLY in a growing situation as dry as mine is (non sealed room in high desert)

corpsey - im curious what kind of environment you are in... how high your grow room humidity is generally, and if you can tell if humidity levels affect how well the PFR works?

I forgot some people don't have high humidity. Yeah mine is pretty high if I don't run the dehumidifier. Right now in winter it is anywhere from 70-80% sometimes higher. I live under redwoods so usually it's a bitch to keep it dryer in this house.

Also I looked it up before I bought pfr97 and I found that you could store it for up to one year in the fridge. I hope that is correct, its not cheap at all.

My main interest in using this product would be as a soil drench. Along those lines would I need to worry about the humidity at all if it's for that application?

[Avinash.miles]

so long as the humidity (moisture levels) in your soil remain 60% or more, which should be easy compared to getting the air to that point.
what are you worried about in the soil that you want to feed PFR to the soil? not a bad idea at all, im just curious what you are getting at wdi.

Goddamn plant herpes, I mean Root Aphids. I tried getting rid of them in the past and those are the most resilient little shits. I alternate feed/waterings with Microbelift BMC thrown in the mix but they are still around with fluctuating populations that are pretty consistent with how often I use the BMC. I figured that the PFR would be another good angle to hit them from. I'm not looking to completely get rid of them as I realize how hard that would be for me with my setup. I'm pretty much looking to just tread water and keep them in check until I eventually move from this place and take only fresh cuts with me to root at the next place. Real Talk

i haven't had the pleasure of dealing w/ RA. Have you guys been using neem seed meal as a soil amendment? have you tried bti?

i found neem eliminated fungus gnats at high enough levels & feel like using it keeps soil pests at bay. a bti drench should be a pretty inhospitable environment for any little fliers like that ~never had to take that step
