Has anyone tried this yet? I know from discussions with H&G tech support that they had RDWC systems in mind while developing it and were testing in a UC system. Their intent with it was to lessen the pH swings and make the pH more stable. I hadn't seen a bottle yet to see what's in it. Just wondering if it's just a glorified cal/mag supplement or something more.
It only raises the EC about .05 per ml/gal. So, starting at 0 EC, 4ml/gal brings it up to about 0.2. The directions say to add it first, not after cal mag. And no, cal mag is not much of a buffer. I can guarantee you this does a lot more buffering than any cal mag.Snake oil.
Essentially, it says to add a buffer, and then add their buffer.
It says to add Cal Mag first, which is a buffer.
Then it says to add their product...which is a buffer...and which only raises the EC.
Well, there's H in H2O. ..Hydrologic told me recently that the ph reads high in ro, not necessarily because it is high but because there is nothing for the meter to read. So it seems it easily takes on the ph of whatever it's mixed with. That's my understanding. So if you're nutrients are stable not sure why you'd need anything else. I loved h&g in soil and was using it for years before I switched to hydro, but I feel like those were the days when I was a slave to the over priced nutrient game.
Not to say I'm not still giving grips to the man, but much more selectively. One of the biggest things I've learned over my years, is that less is more
That's really all ypu need in UC. I wouldn't add Algen or Amino. As far as Roots...the UC system's mechanism of action takes care of an abundant rooting by default. Cleanliness and water temperature control are everything in UC.H&G has served me well so far but I've yet to try anything else. Will probably give the UC nutes a go at some point. I keep it pretty basic, A&B, Drip Clean, Zen, Bud XL and Top Shooter. I've also been using Drip Clean in my soil less auto grows and find it works as advertised, keeping salt buildup to a minimum.
It also has trace minerals. Yeah, I would hold the cal-mag when using pH osmosis stabilizer.Has anyone tried this yet?

Is there a reason you don't use drip clean in UC? Just don't feel its needed when your not running drippers or even have medium?H&G has served me well so far but I've yet to try anything else.

Drip Clean helps prevent salt buildup at rootzone and medium level. Incorporated in any type of grow, the need to flush for a week or two gets cut back to 4 days of flush only. In a 60-day run, that means being able to run a full feeding schedule up to week 8 and flush with plain water from days 57-60. Longer feed, better yield.Is there a reason you don't use drip clean in UC? Just don't feel its needed when your not running drippers or even have medium?
Sorry for the confusion, I meant to say I use it in both my RDWC system and in my soil less auto grows.Is there a reason you don't use drip clean in UC? Just don't feel its needed when your not running drippers or even have medium?
