Is myco even rated for dwc use? I mean aren't they for drier mediums like soil and coco?

its strange to everything up top green down below white but i know strict ph is important ive also heard that with real growers charge you dont need to worry about ph as much and great white is basically the same thing without molasses but 7.5 is huge and makes me wonder if it changes ph to sort of soil levels

I wouldn't have thought bennies and other microheards would be of any use in water culture. Not when most go the salt based feed route.

If you like great white, get orca. Same thing, but in liquid form.

im using great white soluble but when i make tea i use 10l ro water half teaspoon of great white worm castings in a sock some molasses and 15ml of hydroguard/aquashield and bubble 24-48hrs then i fiter this through 2 layers of socks as to try filter out as much organic material as i can
