Been looking into humboldtnutrients as the guy in the shop was raving about them so far tried the Myco Madness which contains 15 beneficial bacteria 9 types of Mycorrhiza and 2 types of Trichoderma. As well as 9.5% Humic acids (derived from Leonardite)
5% Alaskan humus, 5% worm castings
3% glucose. My main concern is Chlorine can kill a lot of the beneficial bacteria hence been leaving water out overnight to remove some of the chlorine. My question is do you think leaving water out over night is sufficient or whether a good reverse osmosis system is needed. Thanks for any advice,

People seem to be using this "RO" water WG ! Not googled that yet but I suppose it's something Organic.Something worth a look at I think

No need for r.o,overnight should be more than enough to get rid of any chlorine.There is so little chlorine in most peoples tap water that even straight out of the tap,it will have no impact on your soil biology.
For mychorrizae to infect your roots,you will have to keep the amount of p(only really applicable when using chem ferts)to a minimum or they will die off.
i've used mycos on a few runs in organic soil and have stopped as found it too hard to judge how much p to put in the mix.

The amount of chlorine seems to vary where you live, where I am at present the water reeks of it you can really taste it. Thanks for the info on p Jaded 1 will watch out for that. One of the main reasons for me adding it is to increase root mass in veg. Also been reading up on Brix levels. Swapped soil as well recently to Plant Magic liking it more than biobizz its a lot cleaner and has less water run off when it dries.

Best thing I've ever done is switch to r.o water the difference is very obvious after the first crop also my yields have improved too as I was having an imbalance in the nutes I'm feeding a lot less too 1.2 ec max that's with boosters too
A soon as I switched to RO the water board decided I needed a meter. So alas, I now have a 5 stage RO unit gathering dust as its just too costly to run. Sod's law.

theres a way to improve the waste with a double membrane have a google about its an improvement but still plenty of waste try and just flush with it herbs helps alot but i think its needed full cycle to get the full benefit from it
I have double membrane and a pump to keep it at optimal psi. Still wastes too much water. If I could feed it back into a grey household water system then I'd switch back.

Thanks for the info was wondering if you could get an organic pk type booster.
Let me know how you get on with this mate as I'm due to replace my bloom nutes soon and heard great things about the PM OT bloom. It was either that or Biobizz Fish mix.
What do you use in veg?
Peace
mate jog that Biojizz on - Plant Magic all the way you will never look back- and all their additives are superb, evolution, catalyst, veg boost, all wicked

Got to say since started using the oldtimers bloom in flower never seen such an explosion of growth in the two days since I've been using it. Used plant magic soil and beneficial fungi in veg and nothing else have to say they didn't look particularly happy in veg but since using the oldtimer bloom in flower its a different story still new to this organic business. But for flower at present I give it a huge thumbs up. Will look into veg next time around. I'd defo give it a try piff its suppose to suit all water types as well.
