fee #maximumyield Your plants love beer as much as you do. Thankfully, though, they’re not picky. Plants don’t care if their beer is fresh, so passing off leftovers from a party or tailgate, or brews that have expired (yes, beer does expire), isn’t a problem. There is a body of anecdotal evidence that suggests it is possible to infect plants with powdery mildew transferred by bamboo stakes. Maximum Yield, March 2017 You should sanitize everything before growing. This is a common issue. I’ve seen wine corks used as stoppers in hydro tanks that formed botryitis. I use a trash can filled with diluted sanitizer; you can sanitize hundreds of stakes this way. Bryan Traficante Maximum Yield, March 2017 I’m a brewer, I can tell you all about how spent brewing grains and the fungi and bacteria associated with them have increased my yields. Looks what’s sprouting @acmehydroponics! What do you have sprouting this time of year? Colin C. Sean Murphy Managing director at Black Bottom Brewing Company If you grow indoors, I always recommend a “bake” of your room in between runs. Get the room 115°F for 24 hours. Easiest way to do it is leave your lights on. No A/C. Run your dehumidifier. Leave your bamboo in the room under the lights. The heat will kill mold and bugs alike… What can survive 115°F for 24 hours?? Nothing. Insects and mold will both dry and die. Everything’s anatomy is made for a day and night cycle. Take the break of night away and they will wither. #acmehydroponics #acmehydro #representacme #gardening @acmehydroponics Kyle M. Top Feeds to Follow on Social Media We dew kale!
