AN microbe products are notorious for exasperating and sometimes even causing a slime outbreak. The voodoo juice is safe so you can use it in the tea, but it is about 10x beyond any justifiable retail price.
I would worry more about the odor than the cloudy water. Both should clear up within a day or two, if not I'd start over.
There is a reason we do not add most microbe products directly to the res. Some contain a bit of organic food to get the microbes started, which feeds the slime. Brewing them in a tea takes care of that.
As for seeds, I recommend TGA third dimension or GHS lemon skunk. Both do great for me in DWC, as most indicas do. Sativas take a bit more finesse. For nutes, you can't go wrong with GH 3 part in DWC. Keep it simple. Be sure to include a foliar spray in your schedule.
Hi, thanks for the help Heisinberg. I kinda hoped you would see this and answer to it, of course I´m also very thankful for all other answers by more experienced DWC growers as well!
Ok I see, so the tea brewing process is the key then? Not just dumping bennies in the bucket/root zone..
I kinda had to change your formula up a bit since I cannot get all products mentioned by you, at least not in a price range that makes any sense at all! So to the product already ordered by me like I mentioned a few posts back is:
PLAGRON ORGANIC WORM HUMUS CASTINGS 1 L
Hydroponic Root Inoculant Mycorrhizal Fungi Trichoderma Beneficial Bacteria 4 oz
Meridian Organic Blackstrap Molasses - 350 gram
BOTANICARE ZHO RHIZOSPHERE ROOT INNOCULANT 1/4 LB BENEFICIAL MICROBES .25
..I know also got the hold of this product:
2 lb Pound Organic Bountea Alaska Humisoil Compost Tea Fertilizer Plant Growth
I could also get
MYCOGROW shipped to me if needed but do not want to pay more then I need to cause it´s already much more expensive for me to get these product then what it is for you US guys, shipping and potential custom/tax fees is what drives the cost up of course! Have already spent more then I dare to say here on H2O2 and other cleaning producs, how much
have that gotten me so far?
Nothing..., zero nix, rien, nada, jack, zip, zilch, I mean absolutely nothing! Investments already done but start to feel very tired and sad here! Cannot keep this up anymore and not do I have the energy to do so even if I could afford it. At the very least I did order a cheap 3 stage RO system anyway, so perhaps I can trust the water now?
I will read your guide to tea again and again to be able to make it easy for myself when the items arrive but some major things is a bit worrying for me though..
1: When should I transfer seedling/clone in rockwool or root!t plug into DWC?
2: How do I learn about how much I should add of each product? (in exact measured weight or volume to brew the tea I mean?)
3: When do I inoculate, and possible how? (after all it seams like I have a hard time even getting my first set of true leaves. Some could be do to sensitive strain/genetics though???)
GH 3 part you say, sure I can do that. They are not very expensive, not even to Sweden. I do have AN sensi grow part A+B atm, I got noware with Vitalink (hard water) so I got the AN sensi for free by my very nice supplier! Are they not as good/useful with bennies as GH?
Regarding foliar feed you mentioned, I have something called HALO foliar plant feed at home. Can that be used on very young seedlings perhaps?
I will check up that lemon skunk, a million thanks for helping a DWC nood out here. ..and to all of you helping out as well, that is true caring folks.. Jah bless you all!
