Mapito as medium in Ebb&Flood? OK?

[newbie2006]

I have three EF120 ebb&flood systems from Nutriculture..

I was planning to try this mapito as the growing medium - though planting cuttings in small RW cubes.

Should I have any problem with this mapito in this ebb&flood system, as long as I am using an enzyme product?

I have AHH's Enzymes+ but as its 100% bio (has some herbal extracts in it + fulvic + humic acids on top of the enzymes), I am having trouble believeing that it wouldn't be bad to use in my system. What is your thought on this - My experiences have been pretty negative whenever putting something 100% bio in hydros and then not having enough air % in the water = rots....

Should I forget about this AHH Enzymes+ and get one more specific product with only enzymes? Recommendations?

PS: I know its a repost from Indoor Hydro but I wasn't getting any feedback there so now trying in this forum if I catch a fish or if I don't..

yes you can use mapito mayne.
mapito is a mix of rockwool and pu flakes, a very nice medium.
advanced hydrophonics enzymes+ is fine to use.

happy growing

Heh, are you sure about the AHH Enzymes being OK?

As I just bought a bottle of BN-Zym from Bionova

It's just that I've used BN zym before. And it doesn't have a smell.

However this AHH Enzymes smells like green tea, so makes me wonder if I really need those ANTIoxidants, as I probably want oxygen to the roots not antioxidants??

the green smell comes from the herbal ingredients ahh adds to its enzyme+ (in fact it is the +), check bottle for more.
if your feeling tells you to go with the bn, you should do so.

Yeah I figured that..

It's just everytime I have used anything 100% Bio like it says in the enzyme bottle, I have ran into troubles.
