Beneficial bacteria in DWC - Tips and advice
DeepWaterGrowerstarted grow question 2 months ago
Hi guys, I grow in DWC and I would like to take the difficulty one step further. It doesn't matter the brand, but I would like to know if you start using beneficial bacteria from dry seed, if I can watering the clay with it, if solution expired faster and stuff like that...

I have used Great White on my seeds and seedling plugs before (all plants are currently in my two big setups), all plants have survived and have an amazing root production. I have even applied great white directly to the root ball in my current epic buzz DWC run with no issues.
If I use Orca in my DWC I usually add a little Canna boost to feed it and top up the Orca roughly every 3-4 days. As long as the aeration is proper in you reservoir there should not be any issues. (growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin/week/1073905) here an example of what Orca did within a week in my DWC. If you are running only a DWC and not RDWC there is no equipment to clog up anyways.
whatever product you will use make sure your solution is well mixed & aerated and you'll be fine!

Most of your organic nutrients will not be compatible with DWC. You can push on with it and see how it goes, hopefully what you’re using will mix well. Only time will tell. I’m working on similar issues.

I use one product in my soil grows that I really like, but it should not be used on seeds only sprouts.
The place I buy it from tells me they tried it in DWC style grows and it just makes biofilms that clog machines and make it harder to clean. I think its best to keep it as simple a possible and clean. free floating bacteria in a nutrient soup with constant aeration is a breeding ground for issues.

I haven't done dwc for a while, one product I found really good at keeping a healthy root zone was hydroguard. You may be best waiting for someone with a lot more experience with dwc to come along and answer.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Which fertilizer should be used in the early flowering stage?There is an autoflower plant that has just started to bloom. I water twice a week, one with fertilizer and one without fertilizer. Do you think it should be switched to bloom fertilizer at this stage, or should grow fertilizer be given for another week since it is still growing?

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?
