Hey SS,
I know you run botanicaire and it works great, but I was wondering if you have ever tried synthetic nutrients in any of your systems? I can't find many references of anyone using synthetic nutrients in the these systems. I am currently experimenting with GH, Advanced Nutrients and Dutch Master in different aero veggers and none of them seem to be working well at all and definitely don't come close to the growth rate when using botanicare. Actually, they all look kind of stalled out and not much growth at all, they just sit there like they do not have any nutrients. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong or what so I thought I would ask if you know of anyone ever doing this. I added airstones to the reservoirs tonight, we will see if that changes anything. Also using tap water, so I am not sure if that makes a difference between organic and synthetic nutes. Tap water with botanicaire works fine of course. Thanks.
