does any source of mycorrhizae work for this method? i could swap out great white for GH sub subculture -M right?
can u feed coco plants with an unph'd tea then flush thru after with ph'd nutes?or should u feed w plain water the days the tea is used?
thanx for sharing this dread!

Use whatever is available from a reputable source. If you like to flush weekly, incorporate that with your weekly tea. You're welcome pal~DN

thank you for providing the information in so much detail..made my day hearing from you bro. having a real shitty day, working nights :( need that milkshake, plant can wait their turn lol

ill add the tea with my AN organic mother earth or iguana as they contain a bunch of other good stuff..

nice one for the heads up on zone.. have a bottle that will probably last a few years lol works really well with res systems keeps the roots white applying once a week.. and keeps Ph stable. Although much prefer the natural approach as you pointed out..

will keep this short bud and hopefully report back in a few days with some news..

appreciate all the info once again.. wish me luck. peace

is it normal for a whitish hairy residue to settle around the ewc stocking? that would micros right? also noticed this black/brown residue settles on the bottom of the bucket..

okay just watered plants down with EWC tea as required. Is it normal to see little thin as hair white things moving around all over medium.1-2mm long.? hundreds of them guys.. are they bad or good.. like nematodes or springtails? should i kill them lol

realized recently i used the wrong shape bucket.. rekon i could have brewed some anaerobic bacteria instead.. need to know if you think the little white insects things came from the tea or medium..

sound like springtails which came from the layer of ewc i added to the coco few days ago? could have got contaminated by the supplier or maybe and insect made itself at home a few days ago and reproduced in the rich top layer..? pretty sure i can kill them with zone if i wanted to.. not sure if they good or bad?

plants are 3 weeks into flower.. don't want to risk loosing them.. might just hit them zone tomorrow and sterilize everything to be safe and put teas aside. till i switch to full organics.

lastly how safe is it for us to be around.. got some on myself lol do i need to be wearing gloves or any precautions..i brew the tea in a bedroom!! just wanted to make sure.. cool


hope everyone is enjoying the weekend !!

I just made the switch to coco myself. I hand watered for about a month before I installed blumats and have been growing other veggies in coco for a few months now. I don't have any repotting pictures right now but I've got some nice surface roots going on. Enjoy!

They were sitting in seedling flats.
That isn't root rot; GH Flora Micro stains the roots brown to a degree.
Nothing to worry about.

Ahhhhh. Wouldn't know myself, good for future reference though.

Thanks, man. It is good stuff! This is my first time running it and I love it.
The plants in those pictures received 2 mL/gal.
However, I'm going to increase the amount of SM90 to 3 mL/gal in order to ward off potential salt buildup in my coco.
Minimal flush time is the goal.
