I think with all the thousands of absolutely 100% Positive reviews on recharge how do you use it??
I cut back on a 3rd of the nutes I used to use, and now replace that third with -recharge** I do the every other feed water etc.. all I use is fox farm trio recharge and super thrive
Comn reply I’m always down for change..

to me the "extra strength" mix they suggest just seems like the "rinse and repeat" instructions on shampoo that is just there to get you to use it quicker. I just use it as instructed, 1/2 tsp per gallon or whatever it is, and feed once a week or so. seems to work well enough for me to justify keeping it around.

Next time just keep Big Bloom ( the organic of the three ) .... dump super thrive.
Try Megacrop ( simple ) one and done.

oh yeah, another vote here for megacrop. I swear, my half assed mega crop tablespoon scooping gets me better results than wehn i poured and measured and spend a million hours a day watering with NFTG. way cheaper too. TO me, megacrop is the happy medium between a quality product with a great price. Its probably not the BEST out there, but its simple, cheap, and easy. and you cant argue with the results.

I've started using sweet candy too (from MC) but I'm not sure if I attribute the increase in frosty smellz to seasonal lowering of temps in the house or the actual sweet candy itself. Either way I like it.

Amen brother, I'm done with that endless mixing and measuring
Same here for half assed Megacrop scooping and Recharge, can't get easier. Definitely cut my nutes back

I tried the Bigfoot product, but it has earthworm castings and powdered biochar added for a NPK spike that I don't need or want.
Bigfoot greens up plants immediately after using it so people can see it "working ". I just prefer Recharge for simplicity.

I've always been a huge fan of using beneficial bacteria, only got hit with the slime once years back in DWC before I started recirculating. The recharge pack seems like a winner to me, I just add a scoop to each reservoir once a week and don't try to keep them alive. I picked up a bubble aerator to make some heisenberg tea, will be playing with the replacements since all my knowledge is outdated.

I’m getting different info on this, so I’m hoping someone can clear this up for me. When using recharge, is it necessary to ph or does it do what the creator of the product claims...that it corrects ph issues?

Do what you normally do...for example add nutes, then ph, then add Recharge.

Dont trust any product to allow you to ignore ph imo.

I only use it when I don't feed nutes and I don't ph the recharge.

I'm in FFOF/perlite and water every 2-3 days. I use 2/3 strength nutes, ph adjusted to 6.5 two times then plain water with Recharge, no ph adjust on the 3rd watering - repeat.

Before I started using Recharge that 3rd watering would have been plain un-ph'd RO water so I treat it the same.

Seems to be working and the plants really respond to the Recharge. I stop using about the 4-5th week of flower.

I use a witches brew of innoculants. Well, not all at the same time, but I do use recharge, mammoth-p (switching to tribus to give that a try), worm castings from my own worms, growkashi, teas, an eye of newt, etc.

I have no idea if any of it helps. But it certainly hasn't hurt. ;)

I use recharge mainly to help me speed up recycled or freshly amended soil, which is once per grow if at all, if I have fresh soil that has been sitting moist for months I'll skip the recharge.

I also use great white once per grow, I like to dust the roots of my final transplant before flowering, honestly I don't think I'll be buying any more GW
