Ive been using the ready grow for a long while. Its light, so its easy to carry. I don't have to mix anything, I just fill the pots and go. And it works good enough. I treat it like soil and water when the pot gets light, I get my plants on a every other day hand water, no run off at all, No major problems. I wish they wouldn't put water 4-6 times a day on the bag, You know how many grows that fuks up.

What's up everybody.

I'm getting myself out of a year long Dwc nightmare. I'm done constantly battling micro organisms that love to munch on roots. Yes I did the Heisenberg tea. It did help me rid my plants of root slime, but only during the winter. Once air temps went up the tea wouldn't cut it anymore. It was constant sterilizing buckets, root drenching in h2o2, reinniculating with bennies....over and over and over for nathen, nada!
(My winter harvest were amazing, Dwc can be awesome but it can also be a bitch. Keep it small if you are
Leaning that way)

Anyway, that was the past (like 3 days ago lol)
I removed my plants from there Dwc buckets and tossed them into 1 gal pots of readygro aeration. So far so good. And now I have a shit load more space in my grow room lol.

Anyway I had 6 newly rooted clones and like 16 Dwc transplants. All the root systems were super weak so I am treating them all like new clones.

I watered with fresh ro ph'd water the First day, with tea, I always use tea. The second day I watered with really light (300 ppm) dyna grow veg. Good one part btw.
I have all my 1 gal pots in a 3x3 flood table. So I flooded the second day. And now I'm flooding every 1.5 days or so since the medium is staying wet. Even tho the bag says to water 4-6 times a day. We'll get there.

I just wanted to get other peeps perspective on readygro aeration mix.

Do you treat it like soil?
Like coco?
Like hydro?
Drain to waste?
Flood n drain?
Drip?
I'd like to see how everyone else uses this stuff.
Do you use coco nutes?
Do you think they are necessary?
Cal-mag?

I ph at 5.8-6.0
Feed every water recirculating in a flood tray. Using RO water with no cal mg as its in the high N formula from dyna grow. I Plan on flushing every couple weeks. Or during res change.
I'm almost out of my dyna grow high N formula and will be using the rest of my gh 3 part and root excellrator (did not use root exel in Dwc, I know it causes probs) so I'm really just trying to keep it simple.

Another great thing about this mix:
When using rockwool cubes to clone, in Dwc the cubes stay drenched and that caused me problems, but with the aeration mix, it actually pulls water from
The cubes to make it only as wet as the soilless readygro mix. Not sure If that's been a prob for anyone else but that shit would keep my roots from expanding out from the cube properly. I'd only get good root growth when those cubes were almost dry to totally dry. Which is really hard to manage when dwc'ing

Anyway, would love to hear your readygro stories, comments, whatever.

Thanks
Peace
