By they I meant the Hydro store that I went to in Los Angeles in the early '90s. I still have my tome on growing Hydroponic Tomatoes. Oh what a fun first grow that was LOL. When did Earth Juice start? I didn't see anything on their website.

I also alternate feed with plain water. In early / mid flower I dont alternate I only feed until I see the fade. I dilute to cleanse. I don't use RO.

My tap is a hard 450/500.

I didn't need RO. I like the free chlorine I get in my tap water.

Drip clean did nothing to the salt buildup on equipment the couple times I saw/tried. Just saying.
I'd like to know *what* exactly drip clean, and flora kleen are.

I've never had the need to use any so called "cleaning" product for salt buildup. If you don't dump too much stuff in then you won't have buildups. As for Drip Clean it's just phosphoric acid and potassium oxide. You can get PeKacid which is the same thing at a much higher concentration for $13 a pound and dilute it yourself with water and make literally hundreds of gallons of Drip Clean. I bought a pound when I started using blumats but have never had the need to use it so it just sits on a shelf. I'm not one to just use something because it exists. If the plants are healthy and happy there is no need to add anything that's unnecessary.

That's what I was lookin' for.
Thanks a lot, man.

I got the drip clean from someone for nothing. Most product suggestions coming from people in the US don't apply in CAN; custom hydro nutes, for example, might as well not exist.
But it's great to know the *actual products* (chemicals), so we can search elsewhere for'em (and at a fraction of the price).
Thanks again man.
