Yeah I have no had a single issue with it. The organics is a very small amount. I do run a live system and have not seen any bacterial blooms or build up from organics or otherwise. So in a sterile system I can't see any issue. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. But I'm interested to see how your experience compares to pbp.

Yep same except they did some tweeking to the cal mag in the new formula. I would gladly switch to the new stuff. In the first some ppl where seeing slight mag deficiencies under high light.

It seems nearly perfect for starting with RO without the need for extra calmag.

What sold me is the fact that they use biological chelates rather than synthetic ones, and that was one of the things my friend pointed out that made a huge difference in burn quality. The NPK ratio is excellent as well in that regrd.

Maybe?.. But I don't know.

I guess it's possible? But I dont know.

But if It will do the same for about 4 cents a gallon vs the 25+ cents a gallon for pbp, I'll take it.

Super cool. I’ve done the same recently in a small 400w situation. I’ve almost gotten into trouble letting my ph getting too high cuz I’m use to acidic (basic) substrate. But yea. Rockwool, the lost art

I'm gonna have to complain about something here.. I've got a gripe!

This megacrop does not dissolve fully. It leaves a brown powdery residue on the bottom of the container and there is tiny white flakes in the dry mix which just dont dissolve at all.
Kind of annoying...

I have read many reports of that. I ditched fox farm trio because of sediment. Cant drink your nutes with a bunch of sand in the bottom of the cup.

I don't dump mine straight into the res. I use one of these.

Only I got mine at the dollar store. It does take a while to dissolve bit I never had any sediment. I just hold the strainer over and sump my nutes in there swish in the water for anywhere from 30 sex to a min before it's dissolved. If it's settled on the bottom it may take a day to dissolve.
