Sorry, I don't know but molasses is easy to find, I would just buy it to be safe. Make sure there is nothing extra added to it.

What you are seeing may be afterslime which is harmless. What you need to do is keep up with the tea and monitor your plants. As long as they look healthy you are on the right track. Also, make sure you are not adding too much molasses or if you are brewing in a cold room you must brew for a...

Definitely try the tea, those organisms can do all kinds of wonders for the roots and with your temps it would help. My temps used to be similar to yours but I bought a chiller and never looked back. If it's in your budget I would recommend. Try out the tea first though you may not even need a...

Yes, you can use tap water. However, tap water does contain chlorine or chloramine. You must check which your tap water contains. If it contains chlorine you must leave the water out for a day for it to dissipate. You can also put an air stone in it and bubble it to speed up this process. This...

You are correct, you should be doing this regularly to prevent further slime outbreaks. :)

Hi, about the foaming..the only time I've ever had foaming in my res is when I've added any type of food that can be eaten. I'm thinking that there is still leftover food in your tea that bacteria are eating..which is not good. How long are you brewing and at what temp? Is there enough oxygen in...

Hi, I suppose you could try this if you have no problems in your res like slime or anything like that and just want to improve your roots. However, if you do have slime or pythium or any other problem I would not add this directly to your res. I searched it up and it contains molasses and kelp...

Oh ok, sorry dude. Listen to Scroga he knows what he's talking about. And I also know you have to adjust ph but once it starts doing weird things like dropping too fast or going up too fast I'm sure that means there's a problem and is probably a good time to change out the res. Also I've heard...

I'm not an expert but from what I've read AN products are notorious for sliming up. Also the tea is a lot more diverse and powerful due to the EWC that you are supposed to use in it. You can also add other products along with the EWC to give it a boost but the EWC are the main ingredient you...

Hi, I would not recommend adding any type of food to the res. I wanted to do this (as you can see from my posts a little bit back.) I tried it too with a product called Plantacillin that has bacteria and food together..added a little bit and got slimed so badly that I spent 5-6 hours cleaning...

Yeah from what I've heard water is only oxygenated through surface disruption and not the actual bubbles so I was just wondering. Thanks for the help man once again! By the way your display pic is kickass hahah.

Hey, I'd appreciate it if someone could answer my question today please! :) Kinda urgent. Both of my air stones that I use for brewing broke unexpectedly. However, when I put in the air hose without anything attached I seem to get A LOT more surface agitation than I did with air stones. It is...

Alright, thanks man. I'm actually Canadian and use the metric as well but when you search for help everyone posts in gallons so I'm use to both haha. Also, I will drop the Floralicious Plus..should I also drop the Rapid Start? I don't know if this provides food for bacteria as well? Also, how...

I don't know dude, when I first got it I didn't have enough oxygen and my water temp was too hot. I have fixed this so now I have plenty of oxygen and my res temp stays at 68f via chiller. Only other additives I use that could be causing it is Floralicious Plus and Rapid Start. I am thinking of...

I don't know how to repost it all again as it has pictures and what not. If you go on page 188 it has everything I asked. Take your time, whenever you can dude. Also, how in the hell did Roots Excel work for you? I have it and every time I use it I get weird algae growth and slime. I've heard it...
