Thanks Neo420! My nutes are GH. I have all three but like the Duo cause its clear. To clarify, after 3-4 days should I change out with just base nutes (GH Duo)? Been running tea for about 5 days now. I can tell a difference in that the brwon roots don't smell and under a scope there are microbes all over them.
NOTE: I have nematodes and mites (2 diff species) in the root zone. Can always be found on near brown roots. The tea guy at the store said the mites were probably "mould mites" feeding on fungus and the nematodes were probably non parasitic. I'm still concerned. The nematodes could be seen glistening on the outside of the netpots and are about 2 mm long and less than hair thick. At 400x don't seem to have piercing stylet, which is some consolation. The "mites in the root zone" thread keeps me up at night...
Should I run low EC? At 1.2-1.4 right now with tea in system. Also, microbes like a high PH (and seems to raise it) how much should I chase PH? Took a lot of down to keep at 6.5, which is still high for hydro.
