Test to see if coating pepper seeds in Plant Revolution’s “Great White” shows noticeable difference from control when planted in 50% soil and 50% Dehydrated Food Waste (DFW) from the Foodcycler.
Great White is a combination of Endo and Ecto Mycorrhizal Fungi, Bacteria, and Trichoderma. The latter is particularly interesting for this experiment.
Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma koningii are both used as “antifungal fungi,” and may prove especially useful in keeping recently re-moistened / not-totally turned-over DFW from going south.
Planted 2x each Jalapeno and Pequin seeds in 1/2 gallon grow bags with plastic mesh to keep root structure intact. Coated 1x each seed(s) in Great White.
All even.
Clear advantage on each Great White pepper. Control pequin may be stunted/dead.
Topped each Great White pepper. Control jalapeno catching up - pequin definitely stunted/dead.
Each Great White pepper podding, control jalapeno starting - pequin definitely stunted/dead.
All peppers flowering/podding (minus control pequin - now tossed)!
TBD
