So there has been an interesting discussion re-surfacing surrounding the use of Methanol with your fertilizer. Apparently there used to be a product called Jerry's Grow years ago that was fantastic for growing.
Since I am always looking for ways to tweak my routine, I mixed up a batch this morning. Here is my mixture. 1TBSP Potassium Nitrate, 1TBSP Epsom salts, 2 TBSP of So Ag Seaweed/Fish blend, 1/2 tsp HEET. Mixed into a 1/2 gallon water to make a liquid dilution. Then I took that and poured into my Gilmour sprayer with my special home-made head attachment (tested for correct flow). I set the Gilmour dosing dial to 4 TBSP per gallon of water and did four rounds of spraying.
Now I am not a math wizard, so I can't tell you the parts per million without a formula but I can tell you that this is very diluted as I want to see some results before going full strength.
I immediately noticed the stomata opening (greening) quickly especially on two Vandas that were particularly stubborn and exhibiting signs of "cork" root water rejection.
Another thing I thought about: wouldn't the Methanol also provide limited topical bug killing properties?
