Is that diluted first or do you just put 1ml straight into reservoir? I'm working with about 20-25gallons reservoir so I would just need to add 1.5ml SAG straight into res?

Yepp, straight into the res.

I usually wait till the next day after mixing my res.

So i know my solution is properly mixed up

Awesome thanks! I just bought Hydroguard before reading this post so after I use it up I'll give SAG a try, will be good to be able to compare the 2 with one another and get my own test results.

1ml per 15gal once a week has fixed my hydro problems.

I run 1ml/10gal of solution. Seems to work just fine.

You add once a week as well?

GBAUTO · Nov 28, 2018

Only when I do a rez change.

How often do you change your res? I would go about 4 weeks but that might be why I have the problem I have now.

Can anyone hook me up with either southern ag or hydroguard in the UK? Both don't seem to be available anywhere but the US. Thanks

I have the same problem JD. Using Hydroguard at moment at 76 GBP ($97) for 3.78 litres bottle, could get Southern AG shipped to UK for $26 plus $18 cost for a pint bottle.
There is another one which I just can't find a UK distributor it is called Amylo-x Wg manufactured by Certis

Are you receiving it? Ive had trouble with customs and it not getting through. Ive heard of the amylo-x but also couldn't find a source. I wonder what the issue is?

An Italian company sell Amylo-x but they charge 45 euro delivery for a kilo box. I did contact Certis regarding UK distributors and this was there reply,

Dear ?
Thank you for your Certis website enquiry about Amylo-X and distributor in UK or EU.
Yes we do have a UK distributor who sells it.
Please provide your full contact details then we can provide your with an appropriate distributor for your area.
Please confirm what professional crop you wish to treat.

Not ideal considering what we grow!!! Have not yet tried getting SAG from USA but if customs are getting involved may have to stick with Hydroguard, it does seem to work just pricy.

tell them hops, or tomatoes...both are close enough to weed that most applications will carry over

Just finished ordering some of the Southern AG. Hopefully it makes it through Canadian customs.

R.Raider · Jan 22, 2019

Also where I live in Canada is very cold. Is their any chance of killing the live bennies if it gets too cold for too long? I'm worried about the package being dropped off when I'm not home and could possibly be out in very cold weather for the day or so.

Good Info here.. The label says nothing about freezing.

Thx for the info.

The lady at the place i ordered it from is sending me the tracking info when she ships it on friday so I'm just going to keep a close eye on it and make sure I'm around when it shows up, just to be safe.

Looking forward to trying it cause my root rot is out of control right now.

So just to make sure I'm clear here, in DWC you would use 1ml of Southern AG per 20 gallons of water? Is that right?

i use it too thanks to @Jypsy Dog

if you have a bad case now, i'd go even higher. maybe 3mL per 20. you really can't have too much and you'll need more good than bad to fix what ya got. then taper it down.

Great, thx for the advice.

So 3ml per 20 gallons while it's real bad and 1ml per 20 gallons after things clear up? And it's fine to use through out flowering(other than when flushing)?

there really isn't a set in stone dosage for it. the bottle actually says the whole bottle can cover something like 18000 to 40000 sq ft of lawns. that's how concentrated it is.

just see how it works at 3mL maybe go up to 5mL or down to 1mL depending on progress. make sure you get it into the stem and upper root mass too.

Ok sounds good. I'll start at 3ml and see where things go from there. Thx for your help.
