Any recommendations on a good product that will boost root growth without any risk of slime? This is for a DWC system.

Had a bad experience with FloraNova and am now looking to stay away from anything with an organic component.

Use straight tap water at 70f, ph'd to 6.0

NO NUTES!

You will be AMAZED!

I mostly agree with BT, but, I use < 200 ppm, AND, no longer let my roots grow as long as his pics

Trimming forces more roots to exit all around the net pot

I waited too long on the large net pots BUT have been trimming ~ 1" at a time, several times a week. Now seeing more exiting the bottom

Looking at pic 3 (~ 1 year ago), I should have trimmed the single taps back, but was fearful then

I guess I didn't make this clear, but I'm not talking about cloning.

I'm looking for a product that will boost root growth while growing in a DWC system. More roots = more bud.

But I want to find a non-organic product since I was slimed when I used Floranova.

Great white and other bennies have always promoted lush root growth for me. Especially during the seedling stage.
