Hey Mike what do you think about utilizing comfrey and a rejuvalac or seed sprout tea as another option of a natural biostimulant approach. Comfrey has been know to induce cell division and a good affinity toward calcium accumulation. The extract is good for supporting the vegetative stage which is what we want. The rejuvalac or sst has the cytokinin and gibberellin hormones that would stimulate the branching from the notching or pruning. If they would work it would probably be more cost effective in the long run, due to its diy aspects and the plants being able to grow here. Willow fpe would be another one I would think to use as a biostimulant for this situation.
I hadn't thought of that, but this is exactly what I was hoping would happen with this topic. Ideas coming out of the wood works. I am re-reading Pierre Masson's book, in particular the plant tea section, and getting more ideas along this line. Problem is that none of it is tested for this purpose. So while it sounds great, we need folks to run some controlled studies. I also have a book in French re: plant phytotherapy that I am also translating as I go along (not translating for publication, but you know.....). The good thing is that there are some really ideas and data coming from the herbal and neo-herbal world that would apply not just to this but to many situations. Anyway, this is great....thanks,
