I don’t do rdwc but I wouldn’t put the pure blend tea in there. I feed the with my weekly tea. It will get funky if it sits.
In my res I only put base + silica and hand feed my supplements

IMO
I would dump Vitamino/Raw/PBT
into a 5 gal bucket and mix well
pull the plant out od the DWC and do a root drench in the concentrate
should perk up the plant no?

So I picked up some Botanicaire Sweet raw, Vitamino, and Pure Blend Tea. Anyone use these and have a regimen they like?

Also, I have a q about using those in an RDWC. My hydro recipe is Armor Si, Cali-Magic, Gh Micro, Gh Bloom, and Botanicaire Liquid Karma. Is there a reason I shouldn't mix the other botanicaire stuff and the GH stuff? I already use the karma w/no problems. I'm aware of the ppm scale diff, I just do the math backwards on my ppm meter. I mean the physical mixing...is that going to cause slime or some other effect in the hydro system? It's appears fine in the coco setup...I'm wondering about in the DWC?

@G gnome @Thejoeybrown @incogneato and anyone else in the know ; )

And when you guys do the supplemental stuff, do you just add it in with your base nutes? Or are you mixing a separate batch/feeding? E.g. I could mix up a bucket of the microbial stuff, drop my pump in it, and turn it on, and it will feed them just that mix...instead of the base nutes as well. In the coco, that will work fine. But in the RDWC, once it trickles down the net pot, it will be mixed with the GH stuff.

Any thoughts?

Most people here use PBT once a week with some other goodies. I'd think vitamino and sweet raw can be added to your reservoir, but I don't think they'll make much if any difference.

You can put it in the res but I’ve found the additives like sweet raw and hydroplex especially will lower your ph over time so you have to be on it. Plus I don’t like using ph up and down so it’s a bit of a pain.
Plus when mixing you will need more silica to balance out the lower ph the sweet/hydroplex create when mixing.
I’ve been putting only my base and silica in the Rez. No air stone. No waterfall. Ph never changes and there is no build up. Crystal clear. I give my additives once a week as well as tea once a week.

I'm just using Ripe and Silica blast right now in my dtw. Thas it. Aside from tea day. That's +Life, bio-cozyme, hydroguard, PBT, and HB-101

hahahha
You missed the joke brother!!! hahah
The person asked what they should do with the vitamino/PBT/Sweet Raw
I told them to dump all into a 5 gal bucket and mix together and dip your roots in a concentrate

I was being facetious

I just dont know why people get products and then ask how to use them
more so people should ask what products should be used before purchase
and research the advice givin

so I came up with a snarky comment
