Biostimulant/Fertilizer Home Made . Make a really weak solution of A pinch of Garlic Powder , 4-6 drops of Louisianna Hot Sauce and 4 ounces of water , Stir it up and let it settle for about one half to one hour so that the ingredients settle to the bottom of the glass or cup. Dip tissue paper into the top of the liquid in the glass ( where the fluid is clearest ) . Put drops of the solution on each leave . It will bead up and then massage the top and underneath each leaf .
It has to be dilluted enough so that it won't burn the leaf tissure and dilluted enough so that it does not burn the root if any drips down onto the grow medium . Right now I am not feeding the grow medium ; I am just using it as a biostimulant massage therapy to keep the leaves very healthy looking and it will also ward off bacteria and fungus and mold .
The solution should be diluted enough so that the liquid at the top of the cup is almost clear but still a slight tint . If you take a sip you should get a very mild heat flavor . It is better to make it too diluted rather than too hot , Start out too diluted , wait two hours and if right strength you should see the leafs get a little wider the first day , After that it extra growth will start to slow down , but will maintain healthy look , You don't have to do the massage therapy every day , but I do , because they are just house plants and habenero peppers .
Here are some pictures . I have some picture under the GARDEN FORUM showiing pictures from the last two days when I first started the DIY Homemade Biostimulant/Fertilizer experiment , I am not growing any Cannabis right now , but it dawned on my that having leaves very healthy would be an idea application for Mother Plants .
If you like the results ( it is also good for seedlings and sprouts) , ; If you get some Yucca ( Yucca can be used with Foliar Sprays so that the liquid does not Bead Up on the leafs) , you could mix the Biostimulant with some Yucca and perform a foliar spray on one side of a plant in veg , and then wait a couple of days and compare the left side of the plant to the right side of the plant . Don't forget to spray the underside of the leafs . I am not sure if you can use Yucca for all Foliar applications .
My larger plants seem to respond to adding the liquid DIY Biostimulant/Fertilizer ? to the roots , and I saw significant overall growth to the plant shown in the last picture ( Look kind of like a MerryGold?) . At any rate some plant really respond to getting some of the Biostimulant to the roots , Apply water first to the roots to protect the roots , and then apply a 1/4 dose of the Biostimulant ( just like they recommend for fertilizering , to water roots a little first and then add the DIY Biostimulant/Fertilizer ? ) . Or you could buy some Biostimulant and see if they have some that can be applied as both foliar and grow medium root application . Use 1/4 strength first and make sure it does'nt burn your roots or plant tissues .
