My guess is the salt build up from nutes. But also could be calcium build up from water.
Is it well water?
It's just regular tap water. Are you saying you can't use tap water with hydro plants?
No he is not saying that. He is just asking is it well water or city water. You can use what ever you want, it's just you have to take different precautions when using one vs the other. That is just salt build up. Get drip clean and run that in your res
So, no one uses tap water without having to use this one product?
Doesn't make sense. I've seen plenty of people running the exact same setup I have and I've never heard this thing mentioned.
That's not build up from calcium in your tap water, that's salt build up from your nutes. I bet if you run straight water with no nutes that shit will disappear. You can waste your money on a ro system and also waste some water too or you can back off your nutes some and run drip clean. I don't know what kind of issues bush Dr had with it but it has never caused any issues with me or anyone I know that uses it. You do need to back off your nutes though when using it.
So, why haven't more people come out against H&G if their nutrients cause this?
Makes more sense that it's the tap water.
Someone recommended something called Hygrozyme, which is apparently similar to Drip Clean.
Question is, should I go with these products or use RO water?
The problem with RO is that I never know which nutrients to add to it to make up for the loss of filtering everything.
"Tap Water" is hardly ever the same for everyone, even a few miles down the road. HUGE variations with tap water, even seasonally.So, no one uses tap water without having to use this one product?
