Serenade, better air flow, allow slightly drier soil between waterings.
We do NOT discuss other drugs here. Thank you.

Serenade. Really, it is a fungicide.
Be careful around that shit man. It's not good for ya. (the stuff I edited out, not the Serenade, which is harmless)

can't seem to find serenade on sale in uk. do you know of a uk web site, or can you suggest another product? havent been round that "shit" since my raving days like nearly 20 years ago. cant say i miss it!!!!!

[stinkyattic]

Any product that contains the active culture Bacillus subtilis will do the trick. It would be essentially the same thing.

[beani1]

nice one. thanx for the help.

[beani1]

can't find any product that contains bacilus subtilis in uk. been told that it is'nt licenced over here. is there something else you can suggest. thanx

Well you need to keep your room clean which is the most important. Lysol all your vessels or use rubbing alcohol to clean up the stuff OR STOP FEEDING THAT SHIT TO YOUR PLANTS. no shit.[align=center] [/align]

i think the fungus was already in the soil. thought that "shit" would make them grow faster lol.

[stinkyattic]

Shit will make them grow faster. You just have to choose your shit carefully! Composted shit is better than raw. Near-fossilized shit is better still! Mmmm bat guano. The shit of an herbivore is far preferable to the shit of a carnivore. Seedlings don't like shit much, and it's too intense for them. Flowering plants like bat shit and growing plants like sheep shit.

Who DOESN'T love shit?

Most soil fungi you can physically SEE are actually just part of your rhizosphere. One way to approach the 'problem' is to give BENEFICIAL fungi (known as mycorrhizal fungi and sold under trade names such as mycostim) that you know are just breaking down organics inthe soil and making them available to the plants. In fact, if you grow organically and give SHIT for food, you are shooting yoursefl in the foot by NOT having enough soil fungi!
