I am still vegging right now in a home made aeroponic system. Im currently using AN sensi A/B, B-52, Fulvic, as well as the beneficials.
After the first 24hrs of the solution I was pretty happy with the way that they were drinking it up and the stabilization of the res but I just notices some slime starting to happen and foam in the res!
Ive been having good results with the great white and really do not want to nuke em with h202 now and kill everything.
Im thinkin this is all cause of the molasses and was hoping there was possibly something good about this but I dont know...
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks
That slime may be an algae. Is the reservoir exposed to lights? That can cause foam and algae (slime). Molasses could also possibly clog the sprayers if too much is used.
