But remember when reconstituted you have the full-strength extract meaning that you have to dilute it down. I'm using 2 oz. per gallon for maintenance and I use the pure extract (undiluted) as a rooting gel by adding seaweed extract, humic and fulvic acids and liquid silica.
thanks for that CC,
do you have an exact recipe for your cloning aid?
The final way will mainly apply to areas of the country where you have large Mexican-American populations - fresh aloe vera fillets/leaves. A 30 lb. lug runs $16.00 and each leaf is about 18 - 21" and once you cut the end off and begin squeezing from the opposite end you'll end up with about 2.5 - 3 tablespoons. You have about a 30 minute window to work with before the benzoic acid begins to ferment and then you're on your own.
This applies to my situation. I can get giant aloe leaves about a block from my place.
But if I only have 30 minutes, what happens then? I can't really use it for anything? I mean, isn't that going to ferment whether I apply it to a cutting or not?
