If this is the case there will be fungal attacks and the plants will need a silica treatment to firm things up. Likewise, it may hold back on the flowering process and the silica will remedy the problem. I suggest the reading of Glen Atkinson's site and the study of his charts and diagrams for a definitive understnding of these processes. I have use the compost remedies by themselves and I did not like the results. I tried a dandelion preparation spray on strawberries to plump them up and ruined the flavour. They did plump nicely, losing the little point on the bottom but the flavour was not there. I had to correct this with nettles manure tea and bc, about four times. Maybe I used it improperly but I prefer the compost preps used in the compost and that is it. Equisetum properly used as a soil spray brings the silica forces into balance in the earthly realm and creates an ideal environment for the beneficial fungus to colonise the soil food web. The equisetum harmonizes the etheric and astral forces within the energy field of the earth/soil and lets the fungus grow uninterrupted ...sstorch
