well uploaded the wrong photo, but this is my white urkle and it has been receiving RE from the very get go, I guess I should have taken a root photo of her too, anyways..
Ctrl + Z will 'undo' your last action on a PC. Too late now though.

here is a picture today from the larger white urkle, granted the RE stains stuff a little bit, things look good up close.:)

I did, I got the info from Rob. They are not allowed to import H&G's bacteria product (bacto force is what it is called) into the USA which is why they recomend using great white......so you can call and ask if you would like, but I already have.
I could scan the H&G brochure for you if you would like? It says it in there also.
For what it is worth, we have been doing bacteria test since 2005. We use both culture type methods which takes about a week for the results and we also use about a 3000 dollar meter that will give bacteria test results in minutes. Since 2005 we have tested a lot of different products and combination's. RE has been tested extensively. There has NEVER been any bacteria found in RE after testing. It is a hormone based product. In fact its the same found in many cloning/rooting formulas (Indole-3-butyric acid, 1-Naphthalene-acetic acid). Add yourself some B-1 and your there....
These test results do not lie and would easily show the presence of bacteria....
Not sure why people insist that bacteria is in RE. I think H&G is known worldwide for having a label that stated for you NOT to aerate your solution, which turned out to be bunk. Not to mention that these companies will make there labels say almost anything to avoid some of the issues that can arise from what you put on the label.
There are import laws which prevent H&G from importing bacteria into the USA. Which is why H&G does not import or sell there own bacteria product in the USA and recommend you use Great White for your bacteria/fungi inoculate.
Why would they do that if RE had bacteria in it? Why would they not import there brand of bacteria/fungi root inoculate instead of telling you to purchase another company's product instead of their own? Why would H&G make a separate product for bacteria/fungi inoculate if RE already did this?????
I think common sense will tell all the answers here...plus there is hardcore lab test that show the proof as well.
Peace N Good Karma!
lol why didn't u guys jus go to the main site. He (Rob?) talks about it as a reply to customer or somethin.

Ive read and have had people inquire about using roots excelurator within an aerated reservoir.
Is there a reason why it is recommended that you not use this in a highly oxygenated environment? Does the high oxygen amount react with this?

We recommend using a small circulating pump instead of an aerator. The highly aerobic environment does affect some very important bacteria in Roots Excelurator that thrive in an anaerobic environment. The main difference will simply be a reduced population of those bacteria in an aerobic environment vs. anaerobic.

I forgot to ask. I’m concerned about how long the bacteria will stay alive in the bottle.
There is no information about this at all anywhere.
It is very important.
I’m assuming smaller dosages will still populate a reservoir with bacteria.
I would prefer to only use it to inoculate rooted cuttings and small vegetating plants than dosing my flowering reservoirs. To save on using it up too quickly.

The bacteria is in stasis in concentrated form in the bottle. Once water is added, the bacteria reanimate. They will stay alive as long as there is food and ample surface area on roots and medium to populate. In an ideal
environment, yes, they do reproduce on their own.
@medimary-You will be waiting a long time for me to prove anything to you "Little girl"....I really do not care how you use RE or what you "think" you know. I rely on hands on testing done in labs myself with instruments use to measure bacteria growth and presence. We have invested thousands of dollars on these test as I mentioned since 2005. This is nothing new by any means.....after the nasty PM I received from you, you were put on ignore long ago......at one point I was even going to offer you access to our web forum where we keep detailed logs of all the test we have run over the years for professional nutrient companies. That was before I realized I was dealing with a child of sorts......people like you are also the reason I do not frequent these public boards much anymore.....good luck to you!
Peace!
