Well after 12 hours of using recharge the girls sitting in dead soil are happier than ever. Their leaves are standing straight up. Everythings looking really good. Seedlings are thriving and so are the clones.

Ive got a custom bred girl coming out soon called booberry (Plushberry x Blueberry), shes nearly 100% pink and super sweet smelling, im going to be cold stressing her to get a hint of purple out of her. The colas are getting fat

Thanks man! The power of organics is real, i love the outcome of my tastes and smells. When doing organic super soil ive seen 3+lbs off 1-1000w light. Its not all about the light anymore. If you have a soil that can has every possible thing the plant will need throughout its life, youll get some monsters like this. 3 weeks old ;) Space dawg, it does amazing.

She is a BEAST:clap: :shock: I have been doing a lot of research on that super soil and I really want to try it and just water in recharge along with more molasses. I really like the idea of not having to use bottled nutrients I believe its called "no-till gardening" they mention it on the last Dude Grows show,lack of a work space(no yard) is all that is stopping me from going that route.

Even with using super soil my girls drink me out of my wallet, that space dawg consumes 5 gallons of water every other day. With the super soil i dont have to use as much nutes but stilll have to use them regularly. I use nothing but general organics and hi-brix for molasses.

Clones and seedlings are going bat shit crazy, Their roots are already starting to come out the drainage holes, mind you i just transplanted all these clones from the cloner about 2 weeks ago.

Space dawg, The fastest growing strain ive had so far, its a 3:1 stretch so be care about light spacing. if you don't train it early you'll have a 9 foot plant before you flower it. Keeping this one short but untopped, going to see how well it does.

Update** After some time using recharge with dead organic super soil vs fresh new super soil, it seems there was a little more increase in root vigor on the fresh stuff but the dead soil did pretty good at coming back to pearly white roots. This stuff works wonders, my babies are happy! I can easily continue to recycle soil and save the planet more! i can also go more than 6 cycles but not too sure if i want to do that moss breaks down over time.

This Space dawg is in recycled dead super soil.

This Space dawg is in fresh super soil you can notice it has bigger roots and more white roots but these clones are only a few weeks old. Doing good id say.

My phone messed up some pictures I could only save one sucks I already transplanted, But the recharge is working extremely well in my aerocloner, it just requires coarse bubbles had to nix the air stone. Went ahead and made a slurry out of the recharge and inoculated them all, this stuff works wonders! Get some today!

This clone is 2 weeks old and has a very robust root system.

yea- theres alopt of good benificial bacteria mixes out there. i used to use subculture b, which has the same bacteria profile as recharge. recently i found that pondzyme w/ barley has the same things in it at a fraction of the price and its really contentrated. a half tsp of pondzyme treats 200 gallon

Love the slurry mmmm recharge haha smells like chocolate in a way too. Looking good BigTexan thats some nice roots for two weeks :clap:

@ mandy1
Theres a lot of other stuff out there but I will rather pay the "extra" knowing the formulator has a podcast about growing this lovely plant and uses it himself, what also closes the deal is that he has all these other veteran growers coming on the show saying it works and how much it has improved their gardens. He won't say it but I think they formulated this for Cannabis and I would definitely choose that over something thats designed for ponds just to save an extra buck honestly,not saying that pond stuff doesn't work I'm sure it might but 70+ episodes on the Dude Grow show not one complaint thats gotta say something about Recharge.

can this work in DWC?
Yes it works in anything, I use it in my aero cloner and even though the water doesn't circulate the bennies colonize anything and everything, I do have to clean out my pump filter every 3-4 weeks as the bennies grow they will continue colonizing the filter. Which is cool I guess lol hasnt hurt anything, Nothing but good from recharge, Im loving it.

This is good to hear... do you use it from veg to flower? Or once it hits flowering time?

I use it till the day I harvest, im full organic, so I don't have to flush, keeps my soil alive. Basically, why would you stop feeding a pregnant woman at 7 weeks, and starve her for the last 2-3. Thats how organics works.

Got that pinkness going on, smells like jolly ranchers, the taste is amazing, this is the day of harvest. 11414382_1028487260503781_1919243839_n.jpg

Well since UPS took forever, I finally got it late, Lights were out though, So I started with inoculating my clones in the aerocloner and adding some recharge to it. I let the clones soak in the slurry for 15 minutes. Within an hour the roots were getting colonized and foam is forming. so far so good, that means there is live activity.

The girls will all be getting normal strength recharge for a week straight as the soil is dead, want to see how well this can bring it back. Also will be starting new batches of super soil for new seasons. I will be testing the effectiveness between dead soil and new soil. maybe its so good it will have same effects on both lets hope.

Here is the specs:

brother just a quick question regarding recharge in the res.... when you add it, you top feed, yes? also, how much recharge per gallon of water do you add??? lets say you have a 5 gallon res, would you add an entire gallon of the stuff? or maybe about, lets say, 5oz of recharge to the gallon? i know recharge is pretty serious stuff and i dont want a mess of form in my closet. i guess my question is, how much recharge would you add per gallon without causing a mess of form out the top of my res.
