    If you use bennies then let it sit for 24 hours otherwise don't bother

    Also why isn't this a sticky??

    Did so with the great white and didn't seem to affect how the GW reacted in my bucket... Cleared up the algae and roots look white and healthy as shit... Maybe I don't have much chlorine in my tap...not sure but I haven't noticed it affecting anything

    No, you're probably right. I was just saying that's what I did with the product still doing its job... That being said, my stoner ass didn't even think of the chlorine killing it(which is why it's added to city water) so from now on I'll be letting water sit out with an airstone running in it

    You could also add some molasses to feed the heard now all the algae has gone

    How much per gallon would one use? I'll pick some up at the store today... Is there a specific type of molasses?

    I'm using 20ml of Meridian Organic Blackstrap Molasses (unsulphered), 3/4 of a cup of earth worm shit and a spoon of Great white to 10ltrs of water, which I bubble for 48 hours. I strain the mix through a filter to remove the crap and then add 500ml to my 30ltr system.

    I've also been adding a squirt of liquid seaweed to the mix and have a sponge in the res to give the bennies a home.

    How can growers use this?
    By feeding at lower levels, the plant needs to take on more water in order to get the nutrition it requires.
    So by feeding at moderate levels, this forces the plant to drink more.
    By drinking more, it is better hydrated, because it is better hydrated, it needs more food, making it eat more.
    So feed at moderate levels rather than overly aggressive levels.
    The method of pushing the EC until you see signs of nute burn is damaging to the plants and although many growers use this method, I am not a fan though your plants are not mine!
    I couldn't have said it better. If people took on board this one bit of information that plants dont need to be kept in high EC environments to thrive then there would be a lot more tasty smoke knocking about. Hat off to your excellent advice sir
