...my bad, it looked pricey to me 'cause i've never used it so i didn't know how little you use per gallon, i hand water so i have no need.I think there might be another comparable product to drip clean, but I'm unsure. I wanna say I read it somewhere. Anyway, I fully cosign the Drip Clean...i would not grow in coco without it. Also, I always thought Drip Clean was relatively cheap, because you only need a few drops (.4 ml) per gallon. The value I get out of Drip Clean is right under the value I get from Superthrive and that shit lasts forever!
Don't sweat it bro...I hand water too. I use it, because it turns the salt that coco tends to build up into potassium or something that doesn't harm our plants...I forget exactly what it converts the salt to. My first coco grow I had tons of issues and couldn't figure out why I kept getting lockouts. Then I read about Drip Clean and all my problems were solved. The more I used it, the more I realized I didn't have to keep my coco wet or have any runoff. I let my coco dry completely out or very close to it before I water again. My root system gets a lot of beneficial oxygen this way, which increases the growth rate of my plants. Not sure, but I think the growth rate is something close to or if not double the rate of constantly keeping my coco wet. I use less nutrients this way and I don't have to worry about algae developing either. Drip Clean and Roots Excelurator are like gold to me, they've made a huge difference in my grows throughout the years! Those two are worth every penny....my bad, it looked pricey to me 'cause i've never used it so i didn't know how little you use per gallon, i hand water so i have no need.
...i did know of the product though and the need that it fills so i offered what little i knew in hopes someone like you that actually was familiar with the product would come in and offer some actual experience.
peace, bozo

I really don't know how we're going to test our hypothesis, but I'm doing a very detailed journal of my current grow. Each weekly update, I take the height of my plants, so if you'd like to compare how much your plants grow from week to week be my guest. Of course, there's a million different variables, nutes, sups, environment, lighting, genetics, vert vs horizontal, etc. Do you have a grow going, so we can do some uncontrolled analysis? Some things work better for others as I'm sure you know, but I think think it would be an so interesting thing to test...I like challenges...I will challenge that statement. I use coco hempys in a drip setup. Fed 7 times a day. Never any drying out. I get much faster growth than when I used to water as needed. Coco is a hydro medium. The more you water...the better it performs. I have also used drip clean....but I find it to be a useless expense.
