It's a bummer when your usual forum is down. In the meantime :welcome: kick back and relax,exchange info:typing: It's a pretty cool place here, not a bad place to be while you're waiting, and we hope you come back.

6-10 drops Dawn dishsoap
1 quart water (for standard spray bottle)
Works well as a fungus killer, leaf cleaner, and all around bug killer/deterrent. Be careful using on sensitive roots, as cinnamon can be a dessicant, I have not had problems with it on Cyms, Catts, Phals, Dends, or Neos. I have also used this on the leaves of my Masde but not the roots.
I am gonna try it too!!!

Thanks for sharing this with us!

Glad to see others are joining us, at least for a while! :D
I have almost come to be adicted to OB, living in Norway the chids-sites are quite slow, unfortently, and the facts are not easy to find.
I was told about this forum on a Norwegan site, so OB is quite well-known ;)
I have found more facts and helpfull people here in only a few months, than i have found elsewhere in years! :bowing
And as others have said as well, the people, moderators and the Admin. here is a breed on its own... Its probably the most helpfull and friendly forum ive ever been a member on.

Thanks to the people that keeps OB on track! :D

I'll be sticking around. I like it here. I just have to try to stay away from the "growing with LED lights" debate! :fight

Hi :waving

I love home-made recipes for the chids and use a few myself. I did read (somewhere...sorry I don't remember where) that using Dawn of the chids can be harmful. Something to do with the grease breakers in it. :dunno:

Have you been using this for a long time with no adverse affects? Thanks :)
