Do You Use Mychorazia In DWC?

im trying a DWC bucket in my grow for a test-run. im also starting to use mychorazai (spelling?) with my rockwool/hydroton mix. what im wondering is if its worthwhile to use the fungi in the DWC system or would it just be contiually rinsed away.

nobody...bump

you know mychorizae....little funguses that grow on your roots?

a simple yes or no would be awesome, i dont need a novel written.

wow, im must say im a bit dissapointed. not gonna be a dick or anything....just dissapointed.


no one has an answer for me??

I think that most people doing DWC prefer to keep their systems sterile. A lot of people use products like h2o2, watermax, zone etc which all kill beneficial bacteria as well as pythium etc.

There is no reason not to use myco with a dwc system, but to me, I think it is best left to a medium that can provide a good enviornment for these bacteria/fungi to live. Such as soil, soilless, coco etc.

Using DWC as a method of growing, I would prefer to keep my buckets clean. Good bacteria or bad, you will really gunk up your system and possibly clogg airstones. Not saying you can't do it, but I wouldn't. I choose to use beneficials/fungi in my coco and try to keep my dwc sterile. Just my opinion.

thank you lump. thats kinda what i was thinking i just wanted to hear someone elses input.

my mycco pack says it can be used in hydro.

so does mine....i think it just has to be soluble to be used in hydro. but i think theyre more talking about medium-based hydro. i bet it wouldnt perform to well in an aero setup either.

no it doesn't have to be fully soluble, just put it in a tea bag thing and plop it in, you;ll be fine

no, i meant i think thats what most manufacturers use to decide of its compatible with hydro.

do you use it in DWC?

no, I grow in soil

ahhh, i mostly grow with RW in hydroton. but im trying a couple DWC buckets and so far am very impressed with the growth rates. i think ill go w/ h2o2 instead of micro-beasties in the buckets.

thanks for your input.
