NPK RAW Solubles for hydro?

Im interested in using NPK Raw solubles I like all the ingredients they have in the grow formula and the npk ratios. However, i cant seem to find any information confirming if they are suitable for hydro.

Has anyone used these for hydro?
I notice the nitrate in the Grow formula comes from plant protein so im not sure if this requires organisms in a growth medium in order to make the nitrogen available to the plant?

cheers

I have used them, and will again.

I have a couple grows left of Emerald Harvest, which works great but requires mixing a shit load of separate bottles

After having issue in my hydro, NPK informed me that Ominas are not good in hydro, and recommended their Enzymes instead. Also, individual elements are available separately, like Kelp and Nitrogen. Kelp is great as a foliar feed

I contacted them and they told me that their products don’t work in hydro as the nitrogen is based on plant protein hydrlysate which requires soil bacteria etc to break down.

Since then I just went with ionic base and made up my own list of beneficials to add (kelp etc)

I did grow to finish using it with a pretty nice haul, but ran into issues because of the microbes. After questioning them, they told me to use Enzymes instead, then all was good. They would do themselves a favor by having a hydro feed chart

Agreed... Keep kelp and other organics as foliar feed only. Keep the water as clean as possible all the time. NPK raw is good to have on hand like you say to add specific nutes and enhance areas but I'd recommend getting an A+B mix as. A base because it's easy and works well

Is the all in one from raw not enough?

Most likely. Both are very complete, but, enzymes make them more bio-available, which means you could use less of them, and the Kelp used as a foliar spray supercharges leaf/stem development

FIrst pic is 11/28, pre Kelp foliar
2nd pic 12/4 lots of infill
3rd pic 12/14 I had to defol the canopy as the lower stems were in the dark, stretching to get light

Note the main stalks are pretty robust

Good news today 3/5 have pistils. Usually males show first, so a high possibility that the other 2 will be females too

Love the hippy stones.. you have much yeild with that spacing/volume ratio? Roots would be all tangled I assume but all good if they all stay happy

The bubbler is just a starter set up. Typically I move them, by now, to individual F & D totes. Hammocking is simple to correct, just cut them apart
