Proteins & Triacontanol !

I have been doing research on the use of various proteins. Some interesting information that I found I posted below. I have read about using "milk" in a diluted feeding but can see some issues there. A grower explained the used of bacterial levels within a "soil" medium topped with dung/cow patties and fed a acidic diet (Kvass) to aide with high temps and also for lactic acid production. The plants were covered and used about 1/4 the water as normal. Frogs were able to thrive in the environment.
  • Milk sprays have been very effective in eliminating powdery mildew. Combine 40% milk with 60% water. The milk’s protein acts with the sun to create a natural antiseptic, killing mildew as the result. Milk sprays should be applied in bright light every ten days as a preventative measure. This method can be employed to resist mildew on any garden plant
  • Lactobacilli

    One of the major workhorse beneficial indigenous microorganism used in natural farming is lacto bacilli. This particular beneficial microorganism is popularly used in composting that specifically arrest foul odors associated with anaerobic decomposition. Lactic acid bacteria thrive and feed on the ammonia released in the decomposition normally associated with foul odors. So if you need to decompose or ferment wastes less foul odors, lactic acid bacteria is the specific bacteria to use. Its application in organic farming is enormous. In aquaculture, one of the problem is related to water quality. Poor water quality stresses the fish which in turn stunts their growth and affects their health. This is very evident specially on high density and tank aquaculture. The ammonia produced through fish excretions pollute the water and stress the fish. With regular addition of this beneficial microorganisms to the water, this ammonia problem is minimized, if not fully arrested. It helps hasten or complete the denitrification or converting wastes into forms not harmful to fish.

    Spraying diluted solution of lactic acid bacteria serum to the plant and soil helps plant growth and makes them more healthy. As it is applied to the soil or the leaves, these beneficial bacteria aid in the decomposition process, thus allowing more food to be available and assimilated by the plant.

    Lactic acid bacteria is also known to produce enzymes and natural antibiotics aiding effective digestion and has antibacterial properties, including control of salmonella and e. coli. To farmers, what are observed are the general health of the plants and animals, better nutrient assimilation, feed conversion and certain toxins eliminations.

Triacontanol

There seems to be a rise in the use of this product. With so many techniques, I was looking for information on brewing dos and fonts, foliar feedings, and supplemental/top-dressing. I have used it in regular liquid feeding from a product known as Massive. I don't think it is available anymore though. But I have read of using Frass in conjunction with Alfalfa mixtures. Leave some comments. Thanks!
  • Polysorbate-20 is a dissolving agent for Tri and heated water.
  • Carbon30, Hydrogen62, Oxygen
  • 1-Triacontanol; Triacontan-1-ol; Melissyl alcohol; Myricyl alcohol; 593-50-0; Triacontanol
  • using at higher pH (7-8) aides in plant absorption of 1-triacontanol.
  • foliar feeding, the use of "Surfactants" can lower the rate of absorbstion or eliminate its absorption.
  • Plant growth regulator Triacontanol used on plants
    • Increase plant or crop yield.
    • Enhance photosynthesis and plant metabolism.
    • Induce the production of flower buds and flowering.
    • Allow the production of bigger leaves, and bigger root system.
    • Increase cell growth in roots, and used to produce thicker foliage and flowers.
    • Production of robust plants more resistant to disease and pathogens.
    • Increase basal branching of rosette plants, and allow more basal breaks.
    • Improve establishment and growth of young plants produced from cuttings, seed or plugs.
    • Used to help plants suffering nutrient and growth deficiencies.
  • Plant growth regulator Triacontanol used in-vitro
    • Improve in-vitro shoot production, axillary branching and root growth in micropropagation.
    • Improve aseptic orchid seedling production aerial and root growth.
    • Produce more robust in-vitro seedling plants better adapted to establishment out of flask and reduce losses.
  • Not soluble in water in pure chemical form. Can be diluted with various alcohols/petros, higher temps may help with dilution.

Farmers have been using Alfalfa for decades for its triacontanol content. About as cheap as it gets from a farm supply store (no more than $1/lb). Kelp/Alfalfa tea is a great transitional feed when entering the first few weeks of flower. 0.5 c Kelp 1.5 cup alfalfa in 5 gallons of water, bubbled over night.

I hesitate to spray milk on plants...in my experience the milk residue can attract a different type of mold if it is not washed off after a week. You can also try kombucha, water kefir, or milk kefir. All high in lactobacillus but have a much higher diversity of microbes, bacteria, and yeasts than regular old pasteurized milk from the grocer.
