I always aimed for eggshell white and bushy root growth in water culture systems. Oxy plus is a great additive for this.

holland secret abc follow directions on bottle, cal mag 1 tsp per gallon, hygrozyme... aeroflo2 36 for me rocking a 1700+ ppm mid flower not a sign of burn, always use a chiller imo, just part of the system along with an ro machine another key part to sucess doing any hydro gro. chiller and ro, dont be satisfied with 70 degree res temps, they will do better with 65 low as 61, more do. after removing the air stones im locked at 5.9 ph, was having rising ph issue until got stones out of the mix

Those little sprayers clogged quick so I heated up some little tacks and burned holes into the pvc. Seemed to work great.
Do you think flora nova would be okay if it isn't clogging up? I don't use sprayers. I poke holes in the hoses
I always built tubes without sprayers. The holes in the 1/2" were just big enough for a metal coat hanger to poke clogs that do happen over time.
The only nutes I ever used in my tubes was the floraseries(all we had back in the day) and then the maxiseries when it came out. If I was gonna fire back up my tubes, it would be with maxi ONLY. Maybe a lil calmag, depending on the water being used.
No silicate, no pk, no nothing else:-)
But, the silicate does help with the fact that maxi lowers the ph like no other base does. But other than that, i gave up on the Si

I see a fox farms 3 part. It say grow tiger bloom and big bloom. How does that stuff work? Why would I need 2 blooms? Would I be better off with Gen hydro. They have something like grow bloom and micro. Why 3 parts? Why not a jug for veg and one for flower?

Yes, zero organics is better in a recirculating hydro setup period. You don't even need organics in hydro. That shit is stupid. I crank out some bomb ass shit with only maxi, or any other base base nute;-)
Maxi is on the cheaper side though. Has it all
5ml/gal is roughly 1.7-1.8 EC. It pretty storng shit too :hump:

Holland secret is not the cheapest nutrient but i bet it is the cleanest on the market. Never saw nutrient so clear and clean looking. I hate all that dark color gh has and cutting edge as well. He is so right about not needing organics in hydro. It will not get u any more yield or quality. Just flush good at the end.
