That's why I aerate my water. Haven't heard of Ca02 so I'll check it out, but does it affect the benificial mycrobes?
Here is a commercial product..

So eza, how did that amazing plant go.
I experimented with a tanning light, 5x 25cm tubes putting out 290 to 400 nm on a lowrider 2 but it got severely sunburnt from too much exposure, then I accidently mixed it in with other buds so not sure if it worked
Thats alot of UV spiked, how far above was that? I'm not surprised by burning..
Even indoors I do organic and like to feed the soil and not the plant.
That's why I have my own worm farm and use Tarantula and Piranha with mollasses to help feed them.
I've been experimenting with feeding my worms certain foods high in either N,P or K.
There is nothing wrong with salt based fertilizers if you know how to use them.. Organics are good for a plethora of micros, and naturally buffers against mistakes, but it ends up as salts eventually anyway..
I've been reading about Rock Juice.. It does look like a good product.. I can't find MSDS's or anything like that, but common belief is that it contains paclobutrazol.. Where I grew up there was a really short growing season, so ppl used 'paclo' in their gardens to kick off maturity.. Sometimes it backfired badly though.. Dunno if its timing or dosage problems, or what..
Paclobutrazol is rare in the sense that it can be effectively taken up through the roots due to its high polarity and solubility in water..
To my knowledge its merely a regulator via giberellin antagonism, and not an actual endogenous hormone, but I could be wrong..
Dave, you don't 'need' additives.. If this is your first go, then you might want to keep it simple, then play around later..
I currently growing RED CLOVER, should be done in a few weeks??i think, I want the phytoestrogens from this plant..... In your opinion what would the best way to extract (SIMPLY & NO CHEMICALS) this out of my plant matter !??????
And eza, good luck with that extraction.. Might I suggest fine tweezers, and a good magnifying glass to hunt down/nab those estrogen molecules?..
