Yes! I use it in my hydro system and there is dead space between the pot and the water where the roots get a build up. I could NOT figure out what that was!! Thank you!! It has never caused a problem with bad roots or anything but that was driving me crazy! I find I also have to stir my rez fairly often cause it seems to settle in the bottom. I love what it does for my plants tho and will continue to use it. Wow, you just made my day!
liquid karma is the shit, i love botanicare, all i really use, if your using liquid karma i take it you use other botanicare products such as pure blend? organic nutes have much more build up since there derived from more solid products so that may be your issue at hand
what type of water do you use? maybe it is hard water. what other things are mixed in your res?
AN three part, calmag. sensizym, LK. Water is RO/DI with initial 0 ppm readings. Not sure if water is hard, but I dont think so.
excellent recipe...about all you need, very simple.
Yeah, organic stuff get's all over the place, but with 3-part and calmag+...you shouldn't be getting real bad looking roots unless they are exposed to too much air due to water level not being topped off often enough. hope this helps. peace
