Do roots continue to grow in bloom?

You should try AN Voodoo side by side with other clones that dont get any voodoo.... big difference...blew me away...
In my grow style microbes are of little use and if I was growing organically,there are much cheaper easier ways to proliferate microbes.

Roots Excelurator is a great product. I stop its use at wk 5 though.
I'm not familiar with root nutes though so you might want to check with the manufacturer, they should have instructions of how and when to use it .

Speaking of "root nutes", I once used the minimum amount of thrivealive green on several week old plants and it killed them.

Perhaps I'll try a few drops next time..

I use a root stimulation solution when I make my soil. I've use the same solution in a dwc and also did a run without it. Yea, there is a difference.

According to the H&G feeding charts... Use Roots Excelurator until the 3rd or 4th week of flower (depending on flowering time). 6 & 8-weekers, until week 3; 10 to 12-weekers, until week 4. Basically until the transitional period is over and initial flowering has set.
Results? See below...

(Top two pictures were of a DWC-grown Cindy 99 using Algen Extract, therefore the slightly brownish coloration. No disease, though. The bottom pic was of an Afghani #1 in DWC with no Algen. Those who've grown the #1 in soilless know how finicky rooting can be for this variety; that's the result in DWC, with two airstones. The roots snapped a stone in half by the time this pic was taken and were so enveloped around its pores that I had to let it go until harvest. Both pics were taken at day 53 of flowering).

Better roots, better fruit.

Can't use RE in dwc
Roots Excelurator silver for recirculating (DWC, EBB/flow, NFT, etc), and the gold one for top feed (soil/ soilless). Difference: gold has plant extracts and more microbes, more suitable for a media-buffered environment.
(Lol i called them a while back after a mishap, and found this out. No more "mishaps" thereafter.)
