Hi Stink etal,
I finally ran out of the nutes I had on hand and bought some bontanicare at your recommendation. I had been running General Hydroponics with good success so I wanted to use it up before making the switch to recommendation. I seem to be running up against a problem, a couple of them actually.
1. I seem to have a separation problem with all or most of my nutes falling to the bottom of the res and ending up with a week mix of water with a black bottom. This is the most disturbing problem I have.
2. I have quite a bit of foam in the res while I am running a bubbler system. I could eliminate the bubbles to take care of this, but thought I would ask what everyone else is doing.
3. I have a scum layer on top of the mix as well.
My plants seem to be doing fairly well although the plants are not quite as green as they were with GH formula. My plants are from sugar smack feminized seeds. I have been growing this strain for many years and have several other growers using them as well. If anything, this strain is too strong for me anymore. I may have to go to something a little less laid back then this strain is. I am thinking a white strain as I do want the laid back effect, just not to the point of a comma, haha.
Thanks in advance and sorry about the thread jack but I know there are a lot of Botanicare users in Stink buds thread.
