    I've never been a fan of using ANY bacteria or beneficials in hydroponics ( not Coco for any pedants)
    I appreciate that good bacteria can stop bad bacteria or pythium taking hold, but I'd much rather run sterile. I think it's simpler. My first ever grow I got 10oz of critical in a gt205 with ionic grow and bloom, I'm sure I would have added peroxide too.

    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    Toblue did you sort the ph? From what i am reading if the ph does drop maybe its due to nutes leeching back out and dropping it?

    Hopefully its just the eco thrive messing things up. Hoping you sort it fella

    I was convinced a live system with beneficials the way to gout as it isn't working I have ordered some Pool Shock (Calcium Hypochlorite) off ebay and will try sterile again.

    Lets face it keeping beneficials alive can be a pain in the ass.
    Even without adding good bacteria . There are some in every system TB . Otherwise the plant wouldnt survive bud .

    In coco its fine to add in feeds when mixing day by day .not in reservoirs though .
