I got some Companion this year and plan on adding it to my rotation and noticed that some growers (Patchmaster) are using it already with young plants.
Since I've never used it before, and more experienced growers are, I'm getting the hint that I should perhaps give my young plants their first dose of Companion now.
Those using it in the past, how often should it be used and typically when do you start?
Thanks/Glenn

Glenn I use it , it also works well with Mycorrhizae is the part I like the best. I only use a new product only after I ask first the 'professor' (Tremor) or Tom P who knows alot about his products he sells (the experts).
They know alot more about this product then I do, so I know my post isn't that much help,,lol,, but what I do know from Tom is that its a great product to put in your arsenal of fungicides for ALOT of different problems that could arise.
As far as how often I use it depends on when it comes up in my rotation. I know this isn't much help from me Glenn but get a hold of Steve or Tom, they will set you in the 100% right direction with Companion.

Genn, I start applying Companion a few days after I transplant my seedlings into the patch, then every 2 weeks.

I have used Companion the last two seasons in my seed soak. I mix about a pint of water and add three or four good size drops in the water. Don't know if it helps but sure hasn't hurt anything. All seeds have germed except one in the last two years.

Ditto right after and well before symptoms. Once symptoms are expressed, pack it up and use conventional fungis.

Big Ange, I was told to use 1 tbs. in a gal. of water and drench the root zone of the plant every two weeks. Once the plants get larger, use a hose end sprayer and mix according to sprayer instuctions.
