Does anybody use baking soda intermittently with microbes for fungus?

That's my question. Wondering because it's been stated in forums not to spray Together because of the ph damaging or killing microbes. I haven't used the baking soda yet but have used potassium silicate which also messes w/ph.

Don't use a biofungicide like Southern Ag Garden Friendly Fungicide along with something that drastically alters the PH, like sodium (or potassium) bicarbonate or in the opposite end, like Citric acid. A better idea would be to treat the plant with the bicarbonate one day, then spray with a biofungicide days later, and thus get the benefit of both without one inhibiting the other.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I wasn't sure how long the ph might be affected on the plants surface. I want the benefit of both but don't plan to spray together or on the same days.

I've tried blackstrap molasses with water it seemed to help didn't hurt the plants
