Hi guys, how are you.
I found your information about SM-90 very useful and interesting and wanted to buy it but there's a tiny problem.it seems no one ships it to outside Canada and US so it's seems it's beyond my reach.so the question to you all living in Europe, do you know by any chance where to get it or what can substitute for SM with the same effect and can be purchased it Europe?all be very grateful for help with this one.thanks and all the best.

It took some looking but I think I found someone that does ship to Europe that has the SM-90.

You might check to see if there are any customer reviews of this place to make sure they aren't a rip-off business. It looks good though.

Thanks Hooker, I was trying to search too, and you where faster! Plus I was goofing around with Modie too, I must confess! LOL!

I found this place but they do not have it. Have lots of other things though.

Raf, just like fine wine, you are getting better my friend. Not old yet buddy! We are just online a lot more most likely and we have our ways! LOL!

Hooker got the best results. It is all about helping each other. As it should be.

Peace

Your welcome and it is my pleasure!

Hope it takes care of your problems. For pests apply it every three days over and under the leaves every 3 days for 3 applications... then let your plant rest for a week or two before you give anymore. It's a foliar feeder so you can over do it... even though we have never seen any adverse reactions to the stuff doesn't mean it can't happen.

Good luck!

Thanks HookerRd,I've just got info they shipped my order so with the express parcel delivery and trust in US post I should get it in 5 days time. Would you be so kind and told me if I can use it as prevention means or only as a cure? with that level of humidity I fight it's just a matter of time something will happen.it's not am pessimistic, am more like realistic

an one more thing,can you give it to the roots?thanks a lot for your help.
Jangel,thank you for encouragement

it's that weather I think,dark and cold and I get grumpy

need to spend more time under grow lights

this is what I truly love about our passion,all the by-products of indoor gardening - time spent in a creative way, people met, friendships made,and 12h of sunshine in the middle of the winter

wooow!

Yes, Raf, you can use it as prevention as Mogie and Hooker do. You can spray it for foliar use or add it to the water to help the roots and soil. It tells you the rate of application on the bottle. I think it is 5 ml (1 teaspoon)per gallon.

Peace

Fantastic,thank you Jangel,that's exactly what I've been looking for.there seems to be a problem with roots,they don't take the water they're supposed to,250ml of water can stay in a pot for 4 days with the plant nearly a meter high,so something is wrong.hope SM will help me with this.thank you for the help

It sounds to me like there is a lack of a surfactant in the soil. this helps the soil absorb the water and is present in many commercial mixes if you read the bag. SM-90 is also a surfactant so that will help you tremendously.

Good luck.

P.S. surfactant is a substance that releases the surface tension and allows absorbtion of liquid. You can also use a drop of non bacterial dish soap in a pinch but not very much and this can affect your plants if too much is used.

I've not tried it, but you are supposed to be able to pour it straight into your soil. I usually just pour the rest of what is in the sprayer reservoir into the soil of one of the plants. It wouldn't hurt to dilute it when pouring it into soil... I would feel a little more comfortable with that until I tried it straight.

Anyway... to answer your question we use it for both as a preventative and a cure. The first year we tried SM-90 we were using it in place of other methods we had tried, that nearly wiped out our crop. We had an infestation bad. By the third spraying on the third day I couldn't find one mite still moving... nothing but carcasses. About 10 days later I found a couple so we sprayed again and continued to spray once a week to keep 'em down. Our crop thrived for the rest of the year. Now we just use it all the way through the growing cycle. Since it is plant food it just gives the plant a little extra goody that it likes while keeping your pest situation under control.

I don't remember if I mentioned it here or not but we got hit with the dreaded powdery white mold last year. There is supposed to be nothing that will get rid of that stuff. Mogie sprayed the plants with SM-90 and picked all the leaves off that had any sign of white mold. The next day... no sign of any mold. We were told we were lucky this year... a lot of people lost their outdoor crops due to the white mold. We don't consider it luck. I think we stumbled across the only remedy for the dreaded white powder mildew - SM-90.

I don't see us doing a grow without it... It's way too valuable to our operation.
