Beneficial bacteria in DWC - Tips and advice
DeepWaterGrowerstarted grow question 10 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.

Autoflowers with high humidity during night and rot, any solutions for high rh?Hello everyone, today I woke with a plant rot on some parts, that due to the high humidity it got during the night, 88% and 18 celsius.
What are the cheap and effective ways you do to prevent rot?
I was thinking of switching from 18/6 to 24/0 but I don´t want to stress them.

Correct feeding schedule / having trouble determining when I should feed my plants in Flower.My Purple Haze plant doesn't seem to like high nutrient content. At this point, feeding it once per week will only burn the plant.
Is it okay that haven't really added much nutrients at all over the past few weeks? I will continue to not add nutrients until I see deficiency?Week 5
