I use hydroguard to help protect my roots from things like root rot and it seems to make the plants very healthy overall. (rdwc and flood and drain setups). Its pretty expensive at ~70 a gallon. I purchased a new gallon and when I got it home I saw the seal was off, was wondering if maybe someone returned it and replaced the bottle with water because it looked like water and I put my tds meter in and got a reading of 40 ppm. That is really low I was thinking. I returned it and got a new gallon, got it home and tested it.. again 40 ppm. So I called batanicare to ask them about the 40ppm. They said that it was correct. I was looking at the ingredients and see the bacteria in there is only like .04 percent of the bottle, rest is misc whatever (probably water). that would explain the 40 ppm I guess. So I was searching for the bacteria that is in it. bacillus amyloliquefaciens. I found a product that contains 98 percent of the bottle is the bacillus amyloliquefaciens, a pint for 22 dollars shipped.

So I have ordered this and will see how it works, if its indeed the same stuff (just much higher concentration) as hydroguard that should save everyone a lot of money.
