You don’t need them in any method. Focus on reservoir temperatures down and keeping things sterile.

A little goes a long way. I keep a little bit in my aerogarden reservoir at all times and add a little to my DWC buckets when seedlings are ready to move. Haven’t tried it in soil, yet. :relaxed:

I bought the gold for soil… Alright I’ll probably low dose it. Going to use this for an OG pack I’m gonna run! Cool whip!

Cooler is better, to a point… Aim for 20.

That nutrient line is not cheap.

Thanks guys, great info :+1: I’ll set my res temp to 20 and I’ll definitely get one of the recommended nutes above, I’m thinking root exelurator as you only need a tiny amount &it’s good they sell in such small bottles too.
It says to use in first 5 weeks but orca says use throughout whole cycle which kinda makes sense to me to keep the roots really healthy for good nutrient uptake so which do you think will work better? :thinking:

Orca is a mycorrhizal product. Sterile reservoir is easiest, you really don’t need fungi.

IDK exactly what the unlabelled active ingredients is in Excelurator, probably some sort of hormones like they all are. There really isn’t a need for either, in my opinion. I’d save your money were I in your shoes.

Ok thanks mate I appreciate your help, I’ve never used it in the past and did ok so I see your point, being on a very limited budget I think you might be right, I’ll just give it my best and hopefully see some results :grinning: thanks brother :+1:

Yes. If it doesn’t have a seal it might not be the real thing. Flower fuel makes some good products.

For DWC the most common beneficial bacteria product used is probably Botanicare Hydroguard. It’s used mainly to prevent pythium, not as a “root booster”.

A healthy plant in DWC will have plenty of root growth without any boosters.
