Quillaja Saponaria Extract Powder, Wetting Agent, Surfactant (1-lb. Bag (One Pound))

Same sort of stuff you might've seen on BuildASoil's videos on youtube, this is Quillaja Extract Powder, just from another brand! Builds a good foam in the water when added in the correct amount, less is more unless you're using this as a soil drench/foliar!I fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and then add a SLIGHTLY rounded half-teaspoon measuring spoon of quillaja powder. Then pH the water accordingly.

As advertised, great product, with an even better price. 1/3 the cost of name brand products on Buildasoil.

It’s a great product for the price and has little to no filler products like some I have found and it dissolves quickly and easily in water!

The media could not be loaded. Although it does what it says. I have had better saponins from different companies. This one does not seem as concentrated as others ive used. For some reason the color seems darker. Indicating to me the concentration is a bit weak. Also i have to use more to get the same affect. Normally i use 1 quarter tsp per gallon of water. And with this one its more like a full tsp per gallon. But it does do the job so im not complaining just telling the truth.

Easy to add to reservoir and wets your water. Keeps water moving evenly through grow medium. Gets all the dirt wet not just parts.

Makes a major difference helps saturate hydroscopic soils and helps produce vigor on young seedlings.

Makes my water bubble and seems to do a good job

I typically buy Build-A-Soil Quillaja Saponaria and have become accustomed to what the product looks and smells like. As soon as I opened this package from Cannaisseur I knew this was not the same stuff.The consistency and color is similar to ground cinnamon. The smell is very similar to a some sort of spice (not cinnamon) but it has a noticeable spicy odor. The Quillaja from Jay Plantspeaker at BAS looks and smells NOTHING like this stuff. So I’m not taking the chance with my very important indoor plants.Furthermore, this product from Cannaisseur says to use 1/2 tsp per gallon while the Build-A-Soil version says to use 1/8 tsp. So just right there alone - if I have to use 4 times as much to get the desired result, I’m not saving ANY money over the Build-A-Soil brand.It’s simply not worth the risk - who knows what this stuff actually is, there is no way to get any sort of lab verification from the seller or anything to back it up. At least with Build-A-Soil I watch Jeremy pour his product into the watering can and use it regularly on his YouTube series.Sorry but this is a return for me. Hopefully it saves all the rest of you looking for a cheaper version of the Q - just suck it up and buy the BAS version.
