Organic Hydroguard Equivalent?

Rufus_Graystarted grow question 6y ago

This is a follow up to a previous question: Is there an organic equivalent to Hydroguard? I love the stuff and it’s my go-to, but I’m attempting an organic grow one time. Thx!

Hi there! Hydroguard has a bacteria called: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and should contain only this bacteria strain, water and food for microbes. I really think that hydroguard IS organic product but I suggest getting something more potent or maybe even change the whole bacteria strain. If you really like this product then I suggest you find this alternative: Southern Ag Garden Friendly Biological Fungicide https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VXQG23O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00&tag=thcfarmer-20 It is like 100X more concentrated bacterial product than hydroguard and same strain. I'm using great white btw. I really think all the bacterial products are organic cos bacteria is organic lol

Can I use NPK of 2-3-3 for flowering phase?I found in the store a liquid fertiliser only for flowering plants with a NPK ratio of 4-6-6, so a lot of potassium and phosphorus which are good for the flowering phase. I was thinking about feeding the plant with this, halving the dose reaching a 2-3-3 ratio. Is it good?

How much do you feed them extra-PK with Biotabs ?I use Biotabs : Mycotrex, Bactrex, Orgatrex, Startrex with a light mix soil and light water (0.08 to 0.1 ec). Some people told me I shouldn't put much PK 5-8 because they easily burn. How much and how often would you feed them PK ? I use blumats with plain water in 6.5L pots, thx

Growth seems stunted?I feel like the growth is a bit stunted and she isn’t looking as good as usual. Leaves hanging/curling a bit down and some look a bit blistery (very lightly only). I just did a flush with 5.9ph water 25 degrees and the runout was 6.1 ph and 605 ppm and ec 1210 so I assume 1.2?

Are my TDS high? 660ppm So my TDS are high right?? I live in the Phoenix area, very hard water. I used a garden hose filter that apparently will pull some of the minerals out. But at 660ppm for fresh water after just a light amount of nutrients for the seedling. What happens if I continue like this?
