Michael, sounds good. I just ordered my actinovate the other day also. Where did you order your Yucca extract from? Ami

Ami-from groworganic.com

Yucca Extract for Stress Aid, Spreader-Sticker and Irrigation Emitter Cleaner Our best spreader sticker. Totally natural irrigation and emitter cleaner that contains 70% concentrated yucca extract. Yucca extract not only makes sprays stick to crop foliage, it is also a great nutritional foliar in itself. Active ingredients are steroid saponins-complex sugar structures which help plants assimilate nutrients and develop stress resistance. When Therm X70 is applied to a stressed area, effects are noticeable immediately. Use 2-3 oz/acre or .25 tsp/gal per foliar application when Therm X70 is applied alone or in combination with other foliar materials. Product foams heavily and should be added last when being mixed in high agitation systems. Can also be sprayed on the soil as a soil penetrant and stress aid. Use at 16 oz per acre, once a year on good ground, twice a year on alkaline soil. For preventing algae buildup in drip lines, apply 2 oz/acre weekly.

Michael, next time you order Yucca get it from this site. They have the food grade (no preservatives) and the normal grade (w/preservatives) and its about $10.00 cheaper. Ami

Ami-thanks for the link. Did you mix your actinovate with any foliar fert?

Michael, you bet. Basically I used 2 regimens.
1. I would add it to my Microbe Tea before brewing and then brew for 12 hours and apply with Yucca extract to the plants with a hose end sprayer weekly.
2. Also would apply with molasses in a pump sprayer.

Ami-I am going to mix actinovate, the yucca extract and my Monty's Joy Juice 2-15-15. Will see how that does.
