Foliar application question

[DTOM420]

If I apply one foliar application (lets say OG Biowar Foliar pack, hypothetically) on a Monday and then want to apply some other foliar treatment (lets say Venerate CG) on Thursday, will I be washing off Monday's application? I'm trying to come up with a IPM schedule using a variety of foliar products but I'm wondering whether one application negates the previous one; or whether they sort of stack on top of each other?

I don't know how much residue would remain after a few days. I know that most foliar products I have looked at have a 1 week minimum between applications which automatically in my mind says two weeks is good? I am going to try Harley Smiths foliar in this grow, once maybe twice.

Yeah, I’m not suggesting exceeding the manufacturer’s suggestion but wondering about the efficacy of applying different foliar applications (each for its own purpose) every few days. Maybe I’m not phrasing my question correctly. Let me ask it this way....

Marrone Bio has a complete cannabis IPM program that utilizes 3 of their products: Grandevo CG (bioinsecticide), Regalia CG (biofungacide) and Venerate CG (bioinsecticide). Their instructions say to alternate foliar applications every 7 days between Grandevo and Venerate AND foliar apply Regalia every 7 days. So, how do I do this? If I’m spraying every 7 days (day every a Monday) with one of the 2 bioinsecticides, when do I apply the biofungicide? That’s why I thought about another foliar application day for the other product. What I’m wondering is, if I spray one of the bioinsecticides on a Monday and, then, apply the biofungicide on Thursday, does it stack (effectiveness) on top of Monday’s spray? OR, does it wash away (reducing efficacy of) Monday’s spray and leave the plant vulnerable to insects from Thursday until the following Monday?

Cannabis pest control, mites, aphids, thrips, powdery mildew

Manage mites, powdery mildew, thrips, aphids and more with Regalia CG, Regalia MAXX, Venerate CG, Grandevo CG for Cannabis, Hemp, Marijuana where legal

If we’re applying our foliar IPM weekly (or whatever duration you choose) when do we apply nutrient-oriented foliar sprays like a AACT? Same question - does the foliar application of a AACT wash away effectiveness of recently applied IPM?

I suppose I could call Marrone and ask but was hoping someone here knew. I like the idea of Marrone products because they seem to be getting approved by stringent testing states like Washington, Oregon and even Canada has begun approving their products for all types of cannabis production.

@DTOM420 The math does not work unless you can mix them. That is what I found you can "tank mix" = mix Regalia with either of the other two alternating them.

That’s kinda what I was wondering about. Since Regalia IS compatible with the other 2, it makes me wonder whether other products, like the OG Biowar line would be as well? I wonder how one would know?

Since all these products are biologicals, I also wonder whether they’d make decent additives to teas? I know lots of people add OG Biowar to their teas

I think you mix at your own risk. It looks like they do not want you to mix venerate and grandivo so there may be negative effects of mixing other stuff in - just a guess though. Why don't you ask the company that makes the products?

I will but MarroneBio won’t know or tell me if their products will work with Cap’s OG Biowar, for example, or other companies. I may just have to stick with one system. I haven’t had a ton of pest problems but I enjoy thinking about stuff and trying new stuff. I’m involved in testing Capulator’s Mac version 2 right now and I’m more worried about IPM (and about everything else, lol) with that run because of the potential and the importance of helping, possibly, finding a seed version of the MAC that’s (hopefully) more vigorous. A little more pressure on that one.

Yeah, I don't think I would experiment on a more valuable plant but if you have some other more common strains growing mix some up and see what happens.
