How to keep my roots healthy

[projectinfo]

Im hearing its dilute by 1/20 then use 2ml/gal

Fragile is right on point!

@Jypsy Dog uses it 1-4mls depending on what you need it for... Clones to fixing root rot.

That might be true but 20:1 @1 to 2 ml per gal is same as hydroguard.

why would you dilute something you are going to add to a bunch of water?

 

[shawnery]

To get the dosage right. It's hard to dose something correctly that's so strong.

Just seems a lot easier to dose let's say a 7 gallon container with one milliliter per gallon compared to 1 ml for 20 gallons?

 

[rkymtnman]

even at a 20:1 dilution, that's still 50000x stronger than hydroguard.

 

[shawnery]

I'll take your word for that!

I couldn't help my high school son with math let alone when he was in grade school!

How to do add this stuff to your res?

Half a drop?

I reset my res and went with this.

 

[shawnery]

You're probably safe either way and perhaps the person who had negative experiences with large doses had other issues not connected with the ag at all.

I forget where I got the 20:1 but it was a common dilution rate in my research. Some guy even had math to back it up but obviously it was wrong based on what rky was saying.

I reset my avatar because that's how growing makes me feel until harvest.

Have you used southern ag befor?

been using it for about a year, maybe more. jypsy dog turned me on to it.

i use 1mL per waterfarm (2 gal) once a week. if the bacteria have nothing bad to eat, they just die off. a $15 bottle lasted me a year.

I'm going to foil tape the top of my resivour lids to help block light ... also my rockwool cubes turned down and black looks like the top feed system was keeping them to moist so I went ahead and removed the rockwool cubes and replanted them straight in net pots with hydrotron.

So dilute 20/1 then use @ 1/2ml per gal ?

Im at 2ml at the moment. Is my system going to fail? Lol

i don't dilute it.

how many gals is your system?

 

[shawnery]

If good bennies die doesn't that create an environment better for the growth and bad bacteria?

 

[projectinfo]

i don't dilute it.

how many gals is your system?

One is 15gal

One is 25gal

Stop mixing ypur bennies with h202 and theyll quit dying
i read your journal.

that's why you have to keep adding good bennies. as long as good bacteria are greater than bad bacteria, no worries.

i'd do something like 2mL/ 3mL for small/big res once a week.

96 weeks for $15. not bad.
