You'd really have to blow it big time to have damage like that, that quickly. Something is wrong with the product.

I agree I tried it twice mixed much weaker than recommended with poor results both times. I would agree it's a poor product.

It works well. My issues with it are that it foams up with the my air. I notice the foam in your res. You may have the same problem. May want to add it slowly. If it foams up it will go away in a day or so... it kinda sucks, but the stuff works.
Did the enzyme shit hurt your roots?

Its a bad batch, or its exceeded its shelf life. They say on the website that it has a longer shelf life, but "longer" is relative i guess.

Not really there still white but all foam leaves the roots clumped together instead of spread out in the tote.

Good. Ive burnt the hell out of the roots before. That can take a while to fix, and can seriously affect what's going on upstairs. The cool part is your just starting out. You've shown them who's boss, now they will listen. Just like my little story of the slow poke pot plants (i really should write a children's book) you have their attention! Haha.

Lol would be some twisted kids grown up on your children books
. But ya it's do or die time for the girls. I would be more pissed if my stash was running low but I am good for a year or two.

Yes, you're a model human... that isn't allowed in the US for some reason.
Hey @oldsmokey! Just dropping by for some light 75 pages of Sunday reading. Damn nice setup you've got going!

Thanks Rexer but it all went to shit overnight.
Not salvageable? I saw the damage but hoped it wasn't that bad. I'd offer my advice/2 Cents but you've got growers with much more experience then me. I just switched to MC in my hydro system and am loving it.

will give a couple of days to see how they recover but I can tell they will be losing most of the fan leafs.
Is that in your journal I will have a look.bI have used MC in promix but not hydro yet.
No current journal on the go (check West Hippie's), but have two in my cabinet right now. My journal was of my first grow a Lucas method (GH micro and bloom) ,I tried to continue that path going into my second grow, except using just Flora nova bloom. Hated it and after a few weeks bought some MC and gave it a go.
Feels like too little work. I keep checking ph and TDS with nothing to correct most days. If you've got some left over, do a rinse/flush of your system with light (200-300 PPM) basic mix. After that id reset my reservoir (use your MC if you've got it and aim for a lower PPM for a bit).

I’m still surprised yours foams up like it does. I run a lot of air too and haven’t seen that.
Either way, it’s good stuff. I don’t use as much now as I was, but still do use it every other week (one dose, mid week) in place of the bleach. Seems to be doing great this way. Even on the “over-watered” plants I just flipped, I’m pretty sure it helped in keeping them afloat until I could pull my head out of my ass.

Not sure what to tell you. My Silica will also foam up, and so will a sweetener I use. But nothing makes a mess like Z7, when it dries it turns to concrete. It does work though, and im glad Smokey has it as an option.I’m still surprised yours foams up like it does. I run a lot of air too and haven’t seen that.

Yeah that’s just so strange. You runnin 500gpm of air?
I dump mine in the res once the rest of the mix is in. There is a small stone and a tiny venturi in there, but it’s more overkill than a true need.
I do mix both parts together first, and then add it to a 32oz cup that I dip half a cup or a tick over of water from the res. Give it a little stir, then pour it in over the course of about 10 seconds.
Maybe for me it’s mixing into the water in the res enough to not be a thing?
Not a thing, just a curiosity for the sake of curiosity.
Main thing is it works though.

I'm not a DWC guy, but when I google Enzyme Komplete I get links to a DWC system cleaner, not something that is supposed to be run when there are plants in the buckets! Is that different stuff?
