I called my hydro friend out west and, this is what he uses. My *friend also stated; That he uses it, but doesn't carry it. He is currently experimenting with several algaecide's in order to choose one to retail.
I will keep you posted.
Currently Fountec indoor water garden treatment(algaecide)
is the 1st choice. 2 drops per gallon to contain algae-1 drop per gallon every rez change. I have been assured that this is safe and you can run Fountec in your rez at all times.2:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

*My friend has no idea that I am sharing this information with you folks.:)

We ended up using HTH algaecide free...It had the exact same formulation as the fountec product.*
for treatment of green algae and such-2 drops per gallon.

for maintenance thereafter-1 drop per gallon.

* both products have warnings about the fact that these products are harmful to aquatic organisms/fish, frogs, etc...
but not harmful to plants; In this extremely diluted form.:thumbsup:

You find these products in the pool/pond area of hardware/big box mart stores

New trays are using netpots w/hydroton and they are bigger at 5 weeks than these were at harvest. So I think I can count on about a 25-35% increase in yield the 2nd go-round. I attribute this to the fact that placed in the top layer of perlite, they get better oxygen, faster to the roots.

Here is the root pictures from grow 2...whadaya think?:D latewood

I just cleaned these up and thought I would stick them in here for comparison.

1. root mass spreads out better in leach tray using netpots elevated. I think...

2. root coil, This shows how I gently coiled the roots when transplanting them from cloner...you see hydroton on bottom (one layer), then set in roots. gently fill with Hydroton.

3. look at this baby...woooh

Over all, I would say that we got better root development, this time round. Yield wasn't much different , but I had a hermie problem...(I think this MUM has run her course),...STRESS you know, LOL
here the pix.
