This is going to sound arrogant but honestly just good watering practices. I let pots get close to dry between waterings early on and then give healthy waterings without too much or too little runoff. Once you master that you won't be looking for bottles of stuff to buy.

I have ran the complete lines of House & Garden, Canna, CYCO, Heavy16, Botanicare and General Hydroponics. I now literally use water + potassium silicate + maxibloom. The plants I just grew using just maxi and silica outperformed plants that were getting teas, additives & boosters.

I'm not tryto do too much either. I figured the pondzyme would keep everything nice and clean the the mykos to add good bennies. Just trying to feed the roots and not the plants for a change. You're spot on about letting pots dry out between watering. Seems if the roots are constantly searching for water they'll grow the fastest! Correct?

i am in living soil thinking about adding maxibloom for flower but dont want to hurt my microbes. but worried just my dry amendmints may not be enough to get threw flower and grow massive buds lol. just wondering if i should try it out.

How would maxibloom hurt your microbes exactly?

Use proper volumes of water meaning at least 20% of container volume and loosening the medium up regularly if it’s peat based. I use barbecue skewers and really tear it up between waterings/feedings. Especially under the plant. A surfactant like liquid soap can help overcome dry pockets in peat.
I adopted the soil loosening practice you use after seeing you post about it last year. I use a small bamboo chopstick and I do it at least once a week. I've noticed a real improvement in my roots since I started doing it. Thanks for the great tip!

GH 3 part is doesn't get any better IMO, let them dry almost to wilt for explosive roots.
