i use tap water , but i run it through a boogie plus filter. it is activated/catalytic carbon, and has a copper membrane to remove chloramine. my local water has chloramine in it not chlorine. the ppm of my water after the filter is 19-40ppm. its probably as close to RO water as you can get...

Hey guys I am growing 4 plants in an ebb and flow system. I had some extra Advanced nutrients lying around so I figured I'd use those. They are the pH perfect technology line. I have a 100L (26gallon) reservoir feeding the system. The nutes are supposed to keep your pH dialed in for around a...

this is the only spray to buy - https://norcalnutrients.com/86-mites-mold/ , cant get it on amazon but its effective.

I did wash my hydroton, i soaked them for 3 days. I didnt really like scrub or agitate them. I should have put an air stone in or something. I also did not use hydrogen peroxide. I didnt have a lid on my res and the tank got algae, so I had to scrub everything down and i ran 3% hydrogen peroxide...

hmm ok thanks. and yeah i need to get used to keeping my soil more moist.

wait sorry im confused can you elaborate please on the breakdown of dry amendments and why i dont need to add the mychorrizae, baccilus, & trichoderma? also you suggested mulch or barley straw. what are those used for other than to keep the soil moist?

how do the dry amendments get broken down without adding mychorrizae and other beneficial bacteria? arent they what is required to break down the dry amendments?

these look good!

yey i feel you about the assuming. i assumed the beneficial bacteria needed food but as ive looked into it more i see that the voodoo, tarantula, and piranha actually are microbes suspended in a liquid food. And FFOF comes with like wood chips and stuff so tehcnically that breaks down into food...

Uhh im 'trying' to do a living soil. I read that it takes 6 hours for microbials to develop in the rhizosphere but ive also heard that it can take 2 weeks for the beneficial to break down the amendments so im not sure. not an expert on organics yet. The base soil is FFOF and I added insect frass...

yeah can you elaborate please. i didnt think it was a living soil with myco and bacteria added. i get that due to the mixing process not every bag will be the same, but as far as bugs. ive only ever had 1 bag of FFOF that had fungus gnats. even right now I use yellow and blue sticky fly traps...

thanks, i try and keep it in the mid 70s. im trying to get good VPD without light burn

no i have sticky traps, above and below the canopy, no bugs anywhere

what is the unnecessary stuff? can you elaborate on that please. I dont think FFOF is a living soil, so i added all the bacteria and myco to it and some food.
