per WF so 2 gals. you could probably get by with 1mL per 10 gal.

GFF is a million times more concentrated than hydroguard.

went with .5 ML for the 10g farm, so far so good
i got a small bottle for $8 to give it a shot. a few ML here and there this will last me a damn long time!

The Photo Plus works very well. I used Recharge for long while but switched to Microblife products. Using both seemed redundant.
You can order a sample pack from Microbelife. Think the bottles are 4oz?

For growers using Recharge - after some digging I discovered Recharge is repackaged (from India I think) and you can get it much cheaper from the original source.

How do you like the microbe life Photo+? I've been using Recharge for a good while now and almost time to re-up my jar.The Photo Plus works very well. I used Recharge for long while but switched to Microblife products. Using both seemed redundant.

It's just kelp extract doing that. It has plant growth hormones in it. I'm sure you could find some kind of kelp extract that is appropriate for hydro.

When Recharge works, it is phenomenal and the price works out better than the Photo for me, but I ran into some inconsistencies between batches/bags.
I've gone back and forth with lots of inoculants (Caps Bennies, Recharge, Great White, Rx Roots) and always seem to come back to the Photo+.
Its a solid product IME

I never had much success.
I searched and searched for weeks it seemed, was damn near impossible to find anything , anywhere that would ship to Canada, i got lucky and found a supplier on Amazon.com who was willing to ship Hydroguard to Canada.
GFF was so much cheaper...Hydroguard cost me $200cdn for 2.5 gallons.

Amazon.com is where i finally found someone willing to ship to me....Amazon.ca had nothing in stock or they wanted over $100 shipping on a $40 bottle .

Thank you. I'm thinking about grabbing the sample pack on their site you linked.

Growing liquid cultures is not that simple. You would have to maintain the same sugar content without introducing any other contaminants. You would also need a liquid culture jar with a syringe filter in the lid to keep out contaminants but exchange gasses and a magnetic stirrer to provide enough oxygen for them to grow. It would become a whole other hobby. Even then you'd really have no way to know if a batch is contaminated or not until your plants die.

Is Photo+ appropriate for hydroponics?

The same people who make great white also make something called orca, it's the same thing only a liquid ... works well but i just use great white for my res

yeah orca would have been the better choice. not knowing i went with the great white as it did also treat hydroponic applications. its not bad at all. Bbombs root rot like Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad

For those not running sterile, yeah, it would probably work great. It wouldn't foam up like the Recharge does (due to the yucca)
But keep in mind the only hydro I run is my cloner so take this with a grain of salt.
