And it's diatomaceous earth. And can be problematic with ph in hydro. But works great if you can watch ph alot.

I'm in a setup that gnats can't live. Just yet. It's funny how I worked so hard to get away from coco and soil. And after years I'm going back. Still not willing to go all the way just yet. And no not soil that's for my moms and outdoor only. So soil bugs are now in the back of my mind. Reason I started hydro was to get away from them. But know alot more now. So who knows.

Don't know why the PH would swing..the water never touches it. Are you in a flood table or something? Your pretty much in sticky card city then.

Flood tables filled with growdan, the growdan wicks so the top stays moist!
So its possibly it could mix with the DE and drain back into the medium thus
geting into the res.

yeah, if it wicks up to the DE then it will form a big gooey crust on the top of your growdan. Is the entire table filled with growdan? If the tables are not too big you could always topdress the entire table with hydroton. This would create a dry layer on top which would have several advanatages I would think.. slow algae growth, reduce root temps through shading, and most of all, create a dry surface for application of DE.
Just a thought.

Coco is pretty easy. I had several good coco runs. I suppose it could be re-used but I am too lazy. I used to just take a run to the compost center and dump everything. stems, leaves, coco... the whole lot.
Make sure to double dose your calmag when using coco. 10ml/gallon. You can leave it out in the lat three weeks without and problems. They don't need much anyways and it is a source of nitrogen.
Cheers!

There looking good, a bit of yellowing! Might want to bump it to 900ppm and see if the yellowing slows down.
whats yellow now will stay that way just watch for new yellowing.

Hey Hellraizer, i was reading the instruction for supernatural aqua bloom and it say use once a week. does that mean i shouldnt feed with it daily? it also has really high on N. r that good for flowering?

Nitrogen and calcium are important in the first half of flower and then cut back toward the end.
im not sure about this super natural aqua bloom, guess i need to look into it to better understand
it.
i just looked into that stuff and its nothing more the a fancy miricale grow or jacks classic
stuff is heavy in salts why they say to flush so much!
