looking to try somthing new in my next run as far as benny's.

previously used hydroguard, and switched to great white. There is no comparison there. I have read that AN voodoo juice is good but like with any AN product, big mike is getting hit cut.

I just dont like the powder of great white, ( one thing i liked about hydro guard because it was already liquid )

has anybody tried S7 by flying skull?

Im not raising worms like remo suggests.

Maybe someone is running an alternative Benny they would like to share their experience? I have not seen much about the s7, but from what i have read it needs to be re-applied every few days

Great White has some unnecessary stuff in it, like ectomycorrhizae. Cannabis is a vascular plant, so the endomycorrhizae in it are good, but ectomycorrhizae can only colonize woody plants, and are mostly used for trees.
I really don't know enough about the different species/strains of bacteria to comment. I also don't know how useful mycorrhizae are in a hydroponic setup, they transport hard to absorb nutrients to the plant in exchange for carbohydrates, but isn't the point of hydroponics to make it easy for the plant to get everything it needs?
If you're not in soil I would skip the mycos and just look for beneficial bacteria.
Just my $0.02.
Good luck.

Check into Garden Friendly Fungicide. Might be what you are looking for.



I'm using a 1/4 ml per gal for my coco dtw grows.
Used hydrogard (99% water) in the past.
I had been looking into this aswell..

ill plug this thread

I havent heard anybodys results using this product. 1/4 ml per gallon is NOTHING. seems very conservative. Will look into it, super cheap also!

Not sure how many other people are using this product in DWC but I would like to hear more about it! way fkn cheaper.
Very novice dwc grower here and I’ve used it at up to .5ml/gal for the last three runs with no complaints and no rot. Lately have been using less as my res temps are decent.

I use hydroguard in dwc. Its proven. also not running chillers either, no probs yet 2yrs. Yes it's mostly water but for home growers its really not that expensive to use and it is easy and ready to use. Shit works great. Imho. Peace

ive actually been wondering if i cant just add disilled water to my hydroguard bottle when its half way empty as the bacteria probably reproduces anyways

hydroguard works and im not knocking it, but it definitely does not have the root explosiveness great white does

Photosynthesis plus is really potent stuff. I smells like a hot sewage truck in the middle of the desert though. You also can’t use it with great white or anything the bacteria will eat up any other there. Apparently it’s super aggressive bacteria.
