Cannabis and Hemp Production Guidelines for Using Circadian Crop Sciences Products

Circadian Sunrise is OMRI Listed and should be in every organic grower’s pesticide toolbox. Conventional farmers should consider using it for an alternative mode of action. It solves the phytotoxicity problems inherent in essential oil based pesticides (patent
pending), while introducing a potent biostimulant (patent pending). Unlike other horticultural oils, Circadian Sunrise fumes to reach where sprays miss. We recommend bi-weekly applications starting with young seedlings or clones and continuing up until three weeks before harvest. A rate of one ounce of Circadian Sunrise per gallon of water is generally suffient to prevent powdery mildew, botrytis, and other foliar fungal diseases, and to keep populations of most insects and mites low. To eradicate existing outbreaks of diseases you can safely mix Circadian Sunrise at rates of up to 3 ounces per gallon. We recommend spraying Circadian Sunrise in the early morning or evening when honeybees are less active. Circadian Sunrise tested as non-toxic to honeybees using the EPA’s standardized test, but if you drench honeybees with Circadian Sunrise sprays, it will kill them, as it will kill most insects and mites. Parasitoids within mumified aphids are unaffected by sprays. Circadian Sunrise leaves behind no residual toxins, so it works well in conjuction with beneficial organisms. The biostimulant in Circadian Sunrise has the potential to: 1. Increase yields. 2. Increase terpenes. 3. Increase cannabinoids. Circadian Sunrise has no required harvest or reentry intervals.

All Phase is a fungicide, bactericide, and spray adjuvant. With All Phase we combine one of the most effective and widely used food preservatives in the world, potassium sorbate, with two plant-based polymers (patent pending). In a recent UC Davis field trial, weekly applications of All Phase at a low rate effectively controlled powdery mildew on chardonney grapes. It will do the same on hemp and cannabis. The active ingredient in All Phase is proven effective against botrytis and aspergillus. All Phase works well when used alone, but the polymers in All Phase make it a great spray adjuvant, increasing deposition of spray droplets and keeping sprays wet against target organisms longer. It adds a new and complex mode of action to your spray rotation, while improving the performance of those pesticides mixed with it. Mix with Circadian Sunrise at 3.5 to 7 grams/gallon to increase performance of both products for particularly difficult to kill pests such as stink bugs. In greenhouses and other indoor production sites, consider fogging All Phase at 3.5 grams/gallon nightly for a period just long enough to moisten leaves. This is as effective as using sulfur vaporizers, but legal, much safer, and provides a broader spectrum of disease control.
