    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Brew this tea. Or try hydroguard? Or if funds are low real growers recharge might help to add Bennie's for cheaper than this tea but this tea is best if your having problems. Go to page 1 and read the first post by Heisenberg

    How much armor si?

    And I always went without it before. Never any problems just wanted to see if it was beneficial at all so just recently picked up a bottle and it's still full pretty much cuz I stopped using it cuz if the high ph issue. General hydroponics recommends mixing armor si first then calimagic, then...

    How much armor si?

    Usually it will say on the bottle if it has to be used by a date or by open date. Like hydroguard is only good 6 months after opening. Could of went bad over time. I like to keep my bottles stored in a cool dark place. I use a cupboard to store bottles in so light isn't constantly beaming on...

    How much armor si?

    I just got a new bottle of it. Its a blue tint liquid. Haven't seen anything floating or chunky in it. It's always a good idea to shake your bottles well before use anyways regardless.

    How much armor si?

    That's what I do too except I add hydroguard last cuz it dont affect ph and I don't want the ph up or down to kill the good stuff in the hydroguard

    How much armor si?

    I have some DE but it gets wet and funky on my hydroton so I don't use it. I top feed 1 to 2 times a week with real growers recharge. So that doesn't work for me unfortunately. Money wasted. Bags been sitting there since I got it and tried it. Did nothing for the gnats I got it to try and kill

    How much armor si?

    I think it's a good idea to use less on smaller plants and adding more when they get bigger and more established. Maybe start off with .5 to 1 ml per gallon and work it up to 2ml per gallon when they're a few weeks old to a month old maybe

    How much armor si?

    Amen to that. I knew the mixing order. Armor si always first, then calimagic, then micro, grow, bloom, ph to range then add hydroguard in my case since I chose bennie's over sterile. I use real growers recharge also 1 to 2 times a week. Never heard to ph it first though before adding...

    How much armor si?

    I never measured a dose. Lol. I'll check what 1 ml per gal does on ppms and adjust from there if needed. In thinking less is more since it raises ph so much maybe I shoudnt use much.

    How much armor si?

    How much armor si to use in deep water culture hydroponics ? Was using like 50ppm at first and then 150 ppm calimagic b4 base nutrients. But my ph went high and had to add a bunch of ph down. When I mix my nutrients without armor si my ph usually don't need to be adjusted unless it drifts up...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    So add the great white or mycogrow soluble a few hours before you feed the tea? I was just worried about the blackstrap molasses being in dwc. People told me with real growers recharge which I'm using now to not leave it in the res. But to pour it to the root base and let it drip down a drain so...

    Also what is a good brand of earthworm castings to use with the tea? Something I can get on Amazon?

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Is it better to brew the tea with earthworm castings or is it better to brew the tea with ancient forest humus soil? And when applying the tea to deep water culture buckets do you pour it in the hydroton then let it drip into your reservoir? Or do you not want the tea in your res water? And also...

    Res smell like pee

    Dwc single bucket res. All of a sudden it smells like pee. Why? Changed nutes and rinsed roots and hit them with real growers recharge. See what happens. I forgot to put lid on a few days ago. Could light leaking in my water for hours have caused no good shit? My air line was slimier then...

I bought fish tanks and put them in both bedrooms upstairs and blamed it on the fish tank air pumps til I could research a good pump that's quiet. Lol but then I ordered some general hydroponics air pumps 4 outlets each pump and...
