I use mine ac/dehuey as well and have been for 7+ years. Always use benny's and zone from time to time and never an issue. Im working on using my waist water from my DTW as well Im going to run into the same container and run it through an RO and then PH and base Via controller and re use. Completely contained system. Self Sufficient.
I figure Ill b putting about 400 through the ro have a pre charged charcoal before the membranes that I will change once per month and should get a 8 months to a year out of my membranes. Sorry to get off subject.
Fasilitor is a great product for Hydro. I used to do recycled soil and as you all have said with a great micro life simple SI works well. But in a hydro (coco) set up
Aptus has figured out a way (Im not chemist actually far far fro m it)To make my plants grow and act nothing Ive ever seen. I ran
aptus last year as well and Didn't justify the cost. And like 4 months ago I said Im going to add back
Fasilitor to my current regimen with
canna coco as base and in 3 days I could not believe the difference in my plants. Plant I have been growing for a long long time changed so much more lateral growth and tighter node spacing and just the over all health and vigor of every strain is just off the charts. I just fill my rez add 3 ml per gallon and mix for a min it gets all foamy and I add my normal food topping out at about 800 both veg and bloom. Ph to 5.5 and I add to every rez. Veg and Bloom all the way through week 6 then I cut it out. I think my water is 6.8 when I add the
Fasilitor.
I too would like to save money on it. Im going through 250 ml a week. $140 but I can honesty say its worth it in my eye's. Just until I can find something else.
After talking to TK and reading throught this thread And HK I just ordered an entire round of
Cyco to try Im going to do one with their silica. One with
Fasilitor their entire line. Then Im going to try their silica with my regimen and see how it goes. While I can not add to this thread with anything scientific I will post my findings if you all like.
Thank you all for all this info. Def plan on reading whats to come hope to find something to replace the price tag.
Im def. going to check out that new store for better prices. Thanks for the reads guys.
