Thanks for the precious info. Am just waiting for delivery of all + ait bubbler! I am not running DWC, I was running autopot but have now disconnected the system after the phytium and slime problem .... am in coco/perlite .... do I just handwater the magic solution? How often do I repeat? Or it would be better to soak the pots in bubbling solution for a few hours eheheh .......

Many thanks

I got rootgrow off ebay for the myco fungi, essence by plant magic at a hydro store for the bacillus + trichoderma and EWC I already had ..... you must try to source some EWC somewhere on the net perhaps? it's the important ingredient according to the master of thiis thread!

this was probably asked in this thread somewhere and i did skim through it but didn't see it.

is the tea safe to use in a bubble cloner? i would think it would be, but i am just checking.

thanks

Indeed, but it's best to add some sort of housing to your clone water, as the microbes normally colonize the roots. They need a place to live until roots form, or else they will be limited in function.

My solution was to switch to a shallow water cloner and incorporate hydroton, as described ~page 69.

i feel dumb for laughing when you wrote page 69 haha but anyway, i soak all my peat pellets in diluted compost tea, i noticed some of the clones rooted a lot faster than the ones i didnt do it to so it helps for sure.

quick question,,, i just changed my res and had to add ph down,,, should i wait to add bennies or not??? i know this question was answered but i cant find it and reading this whole thread from start to finish again is not in my future plans ... Thanks in advance!!!

You can get EWC on ebay pretty cheap.
