Green cleaner
Recipe for CB Cleaner-
48 ounces 1420 ml. Soybean Oil
(Vegetable oil is soybean oil, check the label. get the store brand)
48 ounces 1420 ml. Ultra Dish Soap
(brand does not matter, Ultra strength is what we are after)
26 ounces 769 ml. 99% Isopropyl Alcohol
(I get this at Fred Meyer for a dollar per 16 oz bottle)
2.5 ounces 74 ml. Lemon Juice
1.5 ounces 57 grams Salt
2 ounces 60ml. Water
1 oz = 29,5735 ml
1 oz. = 28,3495 grams
Instructions.
Major infestations - 1 to 1.5 ounce per gallon
Maintenance and IPM - .5 ounce per gallon
Cover leaves completely for best results. This is a contact killer with little residual ability against most pests. All soft bodied insects including mites, thrips, aphids, and gnats will be killed on contact. It will keep PM from fruiting for up to two weeks and will block new infestations if used in an IPM rotation. This is also great for cleaning up tents, grow utensils and pots. This is my most used product in my IPM. It is very effective in keeping plants clean when used correctly. Overuse and or spraying at high concentrations too often can cause leaf dryness and burn.
this recipe makes alot of cleaner - I would suggest halving it
