Hello all, I'm growing in coco using organic dry amendments and supplimenting the water with organic cal-mag and organic liquid seaweed and kelp fetilizer, in addition to a tablespoon of molasses per 5 gallons of water, the cal-mag and seaweed are at half strength. My plants are so far looking great at 24 days from seed. I recently bought an airstone to oxygenate the water. I use tap water I fill in 5 gallon buckets and let airate for 2 days to de-chlorinate before watering.
On the day I first use it I add the suppliments with a ph adjustment. The bucket can sometimes last one day or 3 days depending on how much water I give them each day. I keep it aerated.
I've noticed since I bought the airstone that if the water makes it a 3rd day the sides of the bucket are real slimy after I finish it. I thought with the organic seaweed suppliments it's probably making a tea, just not like a traditional tea and the slime is the bacteria. The buckets never got slimy like that before using the airstone.
Does anyone have any though on this? I'm more concerned if it's healthy or harmful to use water like that every day, can there be too much bacteria or bad bacteria in the coco?
