Piling on a bunch of bloom fertilizer doesn't do it.Fish veg like a 5-1-1 would be gold.

A pinch of epsom diluted with that and you have calmag.

Not sure if its OK to post this in this thread or not. If anyone has an issue with it let me know.
I have mold on top of my soil. I believe its from the Recharge solution I top watered in. I need to top dress again, so should I just mix the mold in with the top dress? Is this a big issue? Once I saw the mold this I drastically increased my exhaust fan setting. Saw in a couple of threads that this is normal in organic soil???

Yep! It's normal and good. I just top dress right over it.

I'm thinking my lights are subpar for the rate of growth a SIP produces. Plants look good, but branches are very flimsy, unlike previous top water plants I've grown. Anybody using silica or something else to strengthen roots and is insufficient lighting the main cause or is this normal with this rate of growth? Currently have a Mars Hydro TS600 and a Viparspectra P600 for two plants in my 2x4.
