Right. That’s what I was talking about

Understood. Yes the addition of P_K is required because the soil cannot get it unless it is added through addition of phosphorous/potassium salts or mulched compost.

I’m wondering if I could use the Maxibloom for the entire grow. Sort of like the Lucas formula.

Yes some do. It could also be a solution for many with soil. Microbes, cal/mg and MaxiBloom should provide enough for all grows. In hydro the Cal/mg is not absorbed into the media and is more readily available and so we do not need supplement it unless a plant really shows a cal/mg deficiency. Otherwise it has everything that is needed through the plants entire life cycle.

Please explain. I don’t know if I’m using them or not

Hydroguard is a bacteria (microbe)
Hydroguard contains a unique beneficial bacteria, Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens, selected specifically for its superior ability to enhance the symbiotic relationship between the roots and their surrounding medium. These specialized rhizobacteria, assist in the breakdown of organic materials, and increase nutrient availability.

Same company of orca or great white…1/4 the price. Orca has less microbes that either GW or this,product. GW has all the same microbes as this product. Still testing but my plants are very healthy

The reason that I like the orca is because it’s in liquid form… 
And I only run neoprene collars with no media , just water and nothing else…
No hydrotone or rockwhool or anything…
I’m also not sure about having nutrients in my beneficials… what your showing has nutrients in it… 3-1-2…

All of the microbes are not stable in liquid form. You must use within 6months if that. Dry powder is stable for years.

I use it too fast to worry about that…

It really doesn’t provide much nutrients. They use those components as a carrier when they dry the formulation…process called granulation…similar to spray drying.

Do you,like orca? Have you done side by side comparison? I just started using the granular, but didn’t set up a side by side comparison.

@peachfuzz Orca has Baccilus amyloliquefaciens already so the two products are redundant but Rocha has much more, but not as much as GW or Granular above

Heres the future flower room… don’t look like much now… I use it for storage at the moment…
It’s a huge industrial frig… that I can put on a trailer…
Even when its 130 degrees outside it’s only 60 degrees in the freezer …
I will add water and a sink and a mini split just incase…
