Hello

I have been growing DWC with General Hydroponics 3 part with no problems. Great growth, taste, yeild and buds.

I decided to try Organic DWC using pura vida and so far not so good. I mixed according to package and it burnt the snot out of the plants. I am now at 1/2 strength and they are doing better but not great.

I have searched up and down and there is not a lot of info on organic DWC. From what I have read, the reservoir needs to be changed almost weekly to avoid salt build up and pH problems.

When using GH, I never changed the res, just topped off and then replaced with straight water the last 2 weeks with molasses and drip clean and it works great.

Is there any way to do organic hydro with the same ease I am doing it with GH?

Any experienced help would be great. Thanks.

for a second i thought you were trying to brew a compost tea. i have this tard at a nearby hydro store who swears by his teas & dwc. i tried & tried to get him to better explain his method or recipe & he wont say because he is trying to sell his product of course. i even explained a little to him on my teas & the process i go through. personally i have tried it with earth juice, fish, kelp, & molasses but nothing works as far as keeping ph in check. organics or compost teas dont work for me other than what i have tried. now you are using something other than what i have tried so i couldnt answer your question but the best i can

I am an avid user of Humboldt nutes in my dwc, Master A&B. I haven't tried it, but Humboldt has a new line of organic nutes for hydro and I have heard nothing but good about them.

naw you are not getting around changing your rez. its a huge pain in the ass on a large scale, but not too bad for something small. when i was doing bigger ops we always had a little corner for organic stuff we kept for ourselves. aurora innovations makes a water soluble guano.
