So Whats Your Favorite Wetting Agent

[Quitters]

looking for a wetting agent to make hand watering easier as i get alot of run off when first watering dry soiless mix or the coco.

 

[Weird]

sm-90 1-2 ml per gallon

Dry potting mix will do this lots. I can't see coco doing it unless it is bone dry, nor should you let straight up coco get that dry.
If you water dry FFHF it will ball up and run off until it gets soaked. Add coco to the mix and it will take the water like magic. You can also mix in some perlite to help if the mix has none.
I wouldn't be looking for a wetting agent to help with this problem, and most quality mix will have some sort of agent in it. Yucca is a good product for a wetting agent.

*you know, I have poured water on bone dry coco and have never seen it run off. It just doesn't happen. Hell, I just hydrated a big block of coco and the first pour on the stuff it soaked it right up like a sponge.

coco like all soils responds well to warm water, if you can get your water steemy it'll soak up 10x as fast

polysorbate 20 when i foliar feed. or added to my floratmite an bi-fenthrine dip for insects.

Sm90 smells great, had good like with that in the rez.

One or two drops of dish washing soap per gallon of watter (but not more than that) works nicely as a wetting agent.
