There is a global farming initiative to repair the damage of years of “Amendments”
It is the soil food web management system.

Following these practices will relieve you of bottles of this, that and every thing else.
Here there is the KNF farming thread, Growing on the cheap! Korean Natural Farming
On the web my favorite is here:

Humidifier as in spray water in air cheapy?
Better to use Cheap Shami cloths, soak with water and hang in tent during lights on, or if you are hellbent on water into air and tent heat is not too high, a cheap steamer is way better. air coming from it is wet but sterile. IMHO

It’s been working super well
On the lowest setting 70 percent humidity to 73 to 75 degrees water last 12 hours
With the towels use a tsp of bleach in water you soak them in.
Otherwise its stale water in air.

For me it has always seemed the reverse of what is natural, plants get a ton of water in two dew periods, nightfall and morning. Not during day. plants shed water during day as they breath through leafs.

For what it is worth most cannabis cuttings can handle a being rinsed in 10% bleach for 15-20 minutes. Yes, plain old household bleach. Rinse it with distilled water 4x. Using gloves and a clean razor re-cut the bleached end and clone as you normally would.
If you find the the leaves lighten or begin to turn “lacey” play with the amount of time rinsed before lowering the bleach concentration.
Additionally you could do what I have done and add engineering controls like a ProGuard unit.

Someday I’ll go KNF. It really is a sweet way to grow. Quite the initial start up time frame, and a lot to learn though. Its a little intimidating.

For growing mj, It’s teachable in five easy steps, each is a home project and fun to do.
Base soil mix and these five projects = consistent success without science major.
There are several living soil mixes that start & get you in two weeks to living beds.

This is awesome I’m definitely using this if the other stuff don’t work I like how you used an exact formula but made it simple I’m new to this and I’m trying to work out the bugs sometimes quite literally.It’s all so much sometimes.

We use cease commercially because of the size of operation.
Creating your own growing bacillus strains is whats end goal. Seeing a nice mold to your soil/stem base is great sign of good earth.
I use the living soil method already, using the occasional tea. No companion planting or anything. Just basic organics. I just need some time and the right weather when I have it, to set up an imo area animals can’t bother. Once my area is warm enough to collect imo, its a race against time to do all the summers projects and my knf plans get sidlined. This weekend I’m making LAB again. Thats a start. I was going to try that on the pm originally, and if that didn’t work, toss my plants, but i see this sulfur trick. Sounds easy. "
