MimbresValley,
All really good info in this thread. I really appreciate the time and effort you have put in so far. :thumbsup:

I have a question for you pertaining to beneficial bacterias.
If I am running a continuous reservoir (no change outs) how many times would I need to inoculate the solution?
If I were to inoculate twice at the beginning, would the beneficial bacteria continue to grow?
Or do I have to continue inoculating, and how often?

Thanks in advance for any input. :hippy:

P.S. Looking forward to those harvest pics too. :jointsmile:

I like crown feeding benies, at 1/4 strength. Bennies will continue to grow in the system, and without change outs I believe you might have problems with bio films. Also some microbes repoduce faster than others, and some sleep when nutrient levels are high, I think michorizal(sp) sleeps when P is over 100ppm.

Generally when I use microbes I change the solution more often than when using a sterile system with chemical nutrients.

what type bennies u going to use? I like great white, and brewing my own casting tea.

I wanted to get Great White, but my shop was all out. So, I am using Sub Culture-B.

What do you think of Humboldt Nutrients Myco Madness?

[MimbresValley]

Never used the myco maddness, is it a powder or liquid?
I like brewing my own teas because they are always super fresh, I have bought liquid microbes before and had problems. ( think they went bad from being on the shelves to long). Seems like the powders have a longer shelf life. Just my unscientific opinion.



Im getting some Down Under HF, formerly hydrofungicide in a couple days, Its the new rage around the world, ill let you guys know if it is good as the hype. Ill be using it exclusively this round.

On a side note, I was talking to a friend of mine who runs NM's largest alfalfa farm, he gets 50lb bags of mycorrhizal for a 100.00 bucks.

I was telling him about how much hydroponic "specific" things cost, LOL.
I bet that 4 oz jar of great white cost 2.00$ and they sell it for 60:wtf:.

[tikiroom]

It is in powder form, and makes your water black. :wtf:

One last question for you. Would it be worth while running a "bio-scrubber"?
I am thinking of the filter systems used in fish tanks.
Could this keep down on the bio film, allowing you to run the solution longer?

Just thinking of a way to use less nutrients. Cause like you said when it's for hydroponics it costs ten times more. :wtf:
