Are you saying the slime comes from mega crop?
Yup anytime you introduce a sugar or any organic compound to a reservoir that is not recirculated and oxygenated you are asking for trouble. I have done this so many fuckin times on my own to know to never do it again. You may be fine certain seasons of the year but one bad summer streak in the south or one power outage and you are done for. I would really like this company to offer a non-organic version. Don't get me wrong I am not anti-organic by any means. I do not want to switch from my current 100% organic soil regime to coco and salts, but my grow environment and mass-competition from mass-import mid-grade weed from legal states dictates it. Organic hydro with no slime issues I am sure is fantastic, but not worth the risk for me. Been there done that. I remember trying to use EWC, Kelp, and all that other bullshit in my Aero cloners based off some threads back in the day and even recommended it after a successful run...Didn't turn out so well down the road no matter the temp of the water pool shock or other bs to supposedly kill and prevent slime. Not trying to do it again on a larger scale. Ran into the same problem doing all the EWC teas and what not.
EWC teas and all the jive are great until you go anaerobic one time in your hydro system and water buckets and it taints everything it ever touched.
I love organics I grow bomb plants, but it is time to evolve with the times and competition. The organics in this line while I am sure is fine mixing fresh batches every single time and cleaning the buckets immediately afterward will make some stellar pot, I am going salt to avoid uncleanliness and all the issues dirt comes with in underground controlled environments. I cleaned up so much fucking dust and dirt this last go around which was my first in a basement underground type environment I just can't do that ever again. Amount of air filters I would need is just not at all cost effective just like the time it takes make your own soil rather than buy for 20 bucks a bag. You just can't compete as a small business growing organics anymore it seems even in illegal states.
This is the thinking that has caused me to choose jacks over megacrop even knowing megacrop probably has better results. I just don't want to risk organics in a sterile environment again.
Too damn expensive and frustrating.
