Using General Organics

Getting brownish foamish stuff on top... used Bio Marine ...so I thought the smell came from there...anyone guess what I did wrong? DWC system 2 air stones stones general organics go box...

Picture below

ive used GO , but never bio marine i believe there is indeed an expiration date on those,
i looked online and there are quite a few people saying this has happened to them.

it would seem most of these people had this happen in a result to mixing nutes with other brands, using it past the expiration date, or the set up itself was too hot.

read those links if it doesnt pertain to you
come back with full details on your grow
lights,
nute sech
water
ph
ppm etc. the more info the better

Been reading alot...seems to be that general organics and dwc with air stones does not work unless I am mistaken

What Is water temp in the res. should keep it cool , I noticed when I would bubble my mix I would get mad foam if i let tge water get too warm. Also I never used the biomarine seeing as how I didn't want a squid emulsion mixing and rotting in my soil/hydro system.

organics
that's no good in DWC

You cannot use go box in DWC. I went 'round & 'round about that even called
GH they told me no cannot use it.I don't remember if I asked why it said
on the box it could be used in DWC. Unless you want a big mess don't use it!!

If you wanna use general hydro stuff follow lucas formula. Although I am doing it in soil, lucas formula is made for hydro.

Results are nice to say the least.

Yeah, what sucks is that the guy in the hydro store kept inissting on it....the general hydroponics was what I was going for bu he insisted on the go box...I still have 2 of the plant sin the dwc with the go box mix in there...goign to switch over to general hydroponics this weekend...and need to buy a ppm reader. I have grown in soil but never done dwc- mixed a gallon of the organics stuff and have been feeding the babies in the soil...seems to work better for them then the one sint he dwc still agitated this dude told me it works for dwc :/

lol. sales guys are like that. But atleast you learnt something new.

go get your money back

Going to try the Lucas Formula with Jungle Juice.
