perhaps you still don't understand? nobody says you "have" to keep it below 65f.
DWC question
- Thread starter Ohcrapimdying
- Start date
When I didn't use a chiller for one system for a couple of months I used UC roots with no problem and my water temp was 75-76 max before lights out(15 gallon system 70l/min air pump). just because it worked for me doesnt mean i would recommend it.
Im just confused on why you would risk root rot, when you could avoid it with a few frozen 2Liter bottles or a used water chiller. Its alot of variables that can cause root rot. In that southern ag post one of the members water source was the cause of his root rot, so he had to eventually change his water source. If we tell you that we can do it and it doesn't work for you how it worked for us you going to be looking at us side ways.

The Southern Ag GFF is ~1000x more concentrated than Hydroguard
Used it with every dwc grow

Thats a fact, but I keep hearing how SAG isn't suited to survive in water, that the strain of bacterial used in hydroguard is more suited to survive in r/dwc systems..
Did you notice a biofolm from the bacteria dying off ever couple of days?

I recently noticed GH Defguard at local hydro shop; virtually identical to SAg GFF as per label.
Both are actually 10^6 more concentrated than Hydroguard.
