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

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...

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...

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.

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

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

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

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...

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 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...

Thanks for all your help Heisenberg. Your a true og and your well known legend on the internet. Everyone having root rot or slime issues eventually stumbles upon this thread or the same info on different sites shared by other growers cuz I've seen ppl on other sites sharing your info also...

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...

I need a lux Meter so I can check light intensity. But don't have one yet. Eventually but wondering how close you run your lights in a air cooled hood ?

1000 watt hps in an air cooled hood. Distance from tops of plants?

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