Surfactants 'wetting agent' polysorbate 20
    #826016 - 05/23/17 09:37 PM (6 years, 10 months ago)

Eh guys,

Well maybe some of you have used wetting agent wet betty or the like. Well polysorbate 20 is alot cheaper and veey effective. Also known as tween 20. Basically helps anything foliar and in studies lowers irrigation rates. And perhaps enhances uptake of nutes. But my favorite reason is watering dry peat or coco as lessens that dry pocket bubbles of dirt.

I started using yucca extract and fell in love with the results. Spent like 8 bucks for 2 oz.  Using only a 64th teaspoon per gallon it'll last me a year or 2.

Awesome. Ya yucca was first choice buut ran into polysorbate ordering some lotion base and essential oils cocoa butter for topicals bugs etc etc.

If using foliar its a must if u are into that. But foliar pgr from kelp surfactant is whats up  also for people who fem using silver or ga3 def imcrease your success lower amount sprayed etc.

Think was 8 bucks a litre and last years for me.

Agreed, I feel it should be used in every follar spray. Wheither it's delivering nutes or just a rinse. It also can be used as a flushing agent.

I like using a little fulvic acid with my kelp when follar feeding.

Yucca on ebay aswell just compare saponin %. May be available from seed amd feed place as horse suppliment feed.

I think polysorbate likely works alot better as better surfactant properties. Not only that but saponins are plants defence against fungi and bacteria so if ur using bennies/soil may want to keep that in mind as it kills bacteria and fungi. That being said may be helpful for that purpose?less algae and particularly biofilms in ur rez. If it targets harmful somehow could be usueful?? But not sure that is the case.

Cheers
