I know this is going to sound like I am some sort of company schill pushing the next snake oil and if I were you I would be skeptical about anything praising a product so highly. Let me assure you I have no financial or vested interest in the company that makes SOS. My only motivation for this post is to inform others of what works for me.
OK now that's out of the way, I got a 3 site RDWC / Aeroponic system each site is a 5 gal bucket and the res is a 5 gal bucket. Since it is RDWC all sites including res keep same water level. All the buckets are black and they absorb heat
I have been keeping an eye on temps and they are 90 with lights on and at night they go down to 80. So you would expect a salt build up ph fluctuations and worst of all the dreaded slime. Well I dont have any of that and I attribute it this new additive I bought at my hydro shop called SOS (https://sites.google.com/site/strataus/hydroponics). I was skeptical at first when I bought it but let me tell you I am amazed at the difference since I started using it. My roots are almost glowing they are so white. I used to use H2O2 to keep my res in check but I found that my roots would be a dull tan. Since stopping the H2O2 treatments and switching to SOS my plants are growing like never before. Also these plants have been in these netpots for 11 days and this is the root growth. I transplanted them from 2 in netpots to 6 in pots and the root ball was just stuffed into the pot and media mixed in, there was nothing comming out of the bottom of the netpot when I transplanted.... what I am getting at is below is 11 days of root growth.
Has anyone else used this product? If so did you have similar results? Also I think SOS is the same as the Homemade Microbe Brew (see: https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/361430-how-breed-your-own-beneficial.html) You could probably make this stuff your self a lot cheaper and get similar results.
