Hello everybody!

I’m just curious as to what people use as a wetting agent with Jacks 321 recipe. ANY advice would be appreciated. I grow in rockwool only. I like to keep things fairly clean. Everything in my grow is emptied, disinfected, allowed to dwell for the recommended time and then wiped down at least once a week. Biofilm is public enemy #2, in my opinion.

Thank you so much for your input.

Here's an old thread about the subject - https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/your-favorite-wetting-agents.26616/

I like to use Coco Wet but it's kind of pricey when there's literally dozens of options available for less money. You could use Ivory dish soap and it works just as well. Aloe vera juice, yucca, etc.

Like this stuff is half the price of Coco Wet and works just as well - and most grocery stores carry it https://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Earth-Fluid-Ounce-Gallon/dp/B07K8SB9YW/ref=sr_1_3?crid=24037L1H372J0&keywords=aloe+vera+juice&qid=1656434590&sprefix=aloe+vera+juic,aps,228&sr=8-3

Also you can use aloe in replacement of Clonex for cloning - it works great!

Thank you everybody! I think I will try yucca. I would love to do a blend of yucca, aloe and some sort of commercial sticker formula! However, I cannot source the aloe anywhere in Canada.
