Zaza Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 @Prom thanks they look much better. Have to be honest I'm a bit scared using potassium bicarbonate again but can't find another product that works... I think you had the best idea of importing products for the grower's Just another question if I may.. what does the leaves look like after Om is treated it seems that there is still pm..

My first choice isn't available either.. nobody down here imports Plagron! Why?? Don't know. Is like with Serenade .. import. Cant be that hard to get some good products in one grow shop inside SA.. legal growing. Perhaps time.. after 21 years of living in retirement  to start working again. Perhaps I am also just a bit grumpy because one of my babies has Coronavirus issues  So please nobody take any of my ranting personal.. but I miss so many products down here.  Almost R50k to register an imported fertilizer.. and that's per product. That's why you don't have many options and why it's usually expensive. You can thank the department of agriculture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can import for personal use, I think I just order for a year stock from over seas.. products are half the price.. so the 30% or 50% the customs would add.. would still keep the bill lower. Not sure about trading and corona (not the beer).. might take a bit longer as expected. If I have to order one product.. can also order all the stuff I actually would love to have in my arsenal. In regards of the Department of Agriculture.. if it works like Home Affairs, I should get it way cheaper and really fast registered, if I do not go the official way  I think very hard into the idea to open a online grow show.. with all the products I would like to have inside ^^ But after your remark, I think I better check with the officials, what side costs are coming into the calculation. So many thanks for the input!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 @Zaza  mine look worse  but as mentioned.. they will swing back if you keep up the TLC. Important part is that the fungi don't spread anymore and looks good so far.. turns gray.. that is a dead fungus P Bicarb is after Serenade the best i know to get rid of Powdery Mildew. But if you have Serenade.. use that!! Way way less stressy for your plants. Is something I can very much recommend each grower to have, if you are more in the humid areas. (mine is shipped ^^ lets hope it passes customs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many thanks for the input!! Depends if whoever checks the product at SAPO decides to not let it through. I don't know much about importing illegal products but I do know if you look around you could probably find what you're looking for anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPlants Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) GrowFolk.co.za sells Potassium Carbonate â K2CO3 https://www.growfolk.co.za/ See they have various package sizes from 350g to 5kg. Prices look good... I have used Potassium Carbonate before as a fungicide and also nutrient for my grow with good success.
