HIgh all, well first i dont know enough as i should about bacterias an fungi . But im trying to learn as over the years i see increased growth an healthier plants by adding some simple BB teas to my hydro feeding regime.
in veg i use a cup of ewc, a few table spoons of mycorrhizae, a table spoon or two of powdered maxicrop. i place all of that in a fine mesh bag an i place that bag in a return filtering bag. The filtering bag sits just in the rez. This with the GH micro bloom forumula has been working wonders. plants are healthy an explosive as i ever had.
I top drip in veg, i run a 1/2 hose across the tops of the buckets. the 1/2 hose has 1/4 elbows, i direct the squirting water from the elbows to the tops of the hydroton. Simple, easy to tell no clogs, low maintenanc.
early clone to start of veg when theres no canopy i get large amounts of green algae growing on the flood table an tops of hydroton, an sides of the containers.
So RECENTLY i started running 1 teaspoon of physan 20, 5mills to 15 gallons of water. it has kept my algea from reproducing an going out of control. soon enough when the canopy gets bigger i will stop using the physan.
i am not gonna put panda plastic on the tops of my buckets or any other light blocker. did that before an its just one more thing to clean an mess with.
So the question is, an im pretty sure it will have some negative effect on the colonization of beneficial bacteria,
How damaging is the physan 20 at these low rates to BB. should i not even bother running any tea bags untill i get a canopy?? Also will the early use, but then stopped use of physan have a negative inpact on the future tea bags i use throughout flower. imsure there will be some residual physan on the hydroton.
bwell an b-safe everyone...
