I have read that earth juice is great!! But it stinks, and its all organic so it is said you can't use H2O2 with organics, and it can funk up the water. But those that I have read use it love it. And its cheap.

I can't speak to the others, but maybe give dyna-gro a look, there's are complete ferts.

The only thing I've used on that list is Earth Juice. Gumball is right, it smells kinda like concentrated garbage water in summer but it adds a nice flavor to the final product. (Rum fruitcake?)

I know that some of humboldts products are not suitable for DWC due to their sugar content, which can cause catastrophes in your rootzones.

I use 1.5 - 2 ml of H2O2 to the mix which keeps algae, fungus etc at bay while also making my roots nice and white for taking pornographic images (Haven't seen good root porn in a while...). Using wonderful sanitizing products such as bleach or peroxide in your nutrient mix almost rules out the use of organics and beneficial bacteria. Indoor DWC systems are already going against nature. Why bother with organics now?

My friends and I generally stick to Canna (Great, Expensive), House & Garden (Great, Moderate), Dutch Master (Average, Cheap) for base nutes and basic additives (zyme, root stim, swell etc), but its always fun to try out new/different shit.

So would a bacterial-enzymatic concentrate full of microorganisms be bad for DWC? Such as Mayan Microzyme or Prozyme?

I don't know how well micro organisms would work in hydroton based R/DWC or other inert mediums for that fact. I have never heard of mayan microzyme but it sounds like good shit. Give it a try and show us your results. I would buy it, if it did what it said.
Take superthrive for instance. I've given it to dying plants and it didn't revive them like it practically guarantees.

A good friend of mine in cali grows DWC using Humboldt nutrients. He loves that shit and gets great results.

23, I have used the Mayan but only in my soilless grows.
Only used Pure Blend Pro and Gen Hydro for grows.

For dwc, keep it simple as can be. No need to feed like you do soil.
A 2 or 3 part nute formula will suffice.
With my dwc, it's 2 part GH Micro and Bloom with maybe some molasss at flush.

Thanks flogrow. I'm going to have to try Mayan in my coco then for sure. Ill share my results with the RIU.

Forgot to mention, that Mayan is concentrated so to speak.
Don't need much. What I did was put 1ml per gal into a 5gal bucket and bubble it for at least 24hrs before feeding/watering my Pro-Mix HP/Coco/perlite mix.
You'll see the healthy cultures floating throughout the water, and that's perfectly healthy and normal.
All that air feeds the aerobic (Mayan) bacteria while killing the anaerobic bacteria, and oxygenates the water for the plants. They love it !
No more than 15ml of Grandma's molasses and you have a nice organic carb/bacteria loaded drink.

BACK TO DWC NOW !! lmao Although a bucket and air stones ARE part of that recipe !! lol

You my friend make me want the Mayan MZ so much more.

This is out of the Humboldt Almanac:
"Some Hydroponic Gardeners prefer to keep a sterile environment while others choose to incorporate biological inoculants. Media like Coco is fibrous and can colonize beneficial Bacteria and Fungi. Inert media like hydroton balls cannot support this biological activity. High-porosity soil-less media offer aspects of both inert and biologically active media, and can be used either way."

For beneficial bacteria, Humboldt has:
!) Mayan MicroZyme
ProZyme

For beneficial fungi, Humboldt has:
!) White Widow
Myco Maximum
Myco Madness

Coco has to be my favorite medium in the world. I will refuse to try Coco-Not out of stubborn ignorance and fear of it being better.

Won't need any of those for DWC. Strictly soil.
Heard/read of ppl using PBP Liquid Karma with success in DWC though.
DWC is so much simpler than soil b/c you don't have to deal/worry about microorganisms, unless you get root rot.
The high oxygen content makes it nearly impossible for anaerobic bacteria so survive.
RezDog's Recipe or the Lucas Formula really do work and use just 2 or 3 part nutes.

Biothrive grow and bloom is working great for me and apparently it neutralizes the ph of your water, along with being completely organic
