Anyone using recharge in their reservoir? I've used it with soil with awesome results but I'm not sure if it'll gunk up my Hydro system.

I used it when I grew in coco and also had fantastic results with it, but being it has molasses in it I would not use it in a hydro setup personally.

I stay away from organics in hydro with the exception of some very small amounts in my mega crop that I use.

I have never used the product but a word of caution with organics and hydro. If you are running sterile don't use any organics period. If you are running live a small amount usually does not create an issue but always start with a tiny amount and wait 24 hrs to see how the system reacts.

Running a sealed CO2 injected 4x4 room with an hlg 600w. It drives the plants hard.

I use tap water and still have to supplement cal mag at 1ml/gal and some magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) or I see deficiencies in veg.

In flower I do the same and add some monopotassium phosphate or I start seeing early signs of phosphorus deficiency.

I'm not a big believer in supplements and only use when I see a deficiency. More is not better.

It will depend on how hard you drive the plants.

If I didn't push my lighting so hard with CO2 I would likely not have to add anything but some cal mag and even then possibly just Epsom salt.

I just looked it up. I can't see a reason not to use it. But just know soil bacteria and hydro bacteria are different. So you will likely need to add it once a week or so to keep populations optimal.

I use hydrogaurd and the same goes for that. The particular strain is not very well suited to aquatic environment even though it's marketed for such purpose. It's this reason I use peat pellets for seeds and clones I my system. It provides an ideal area for these bacteria to reproduce not usually found in most systems.

That mammoth p is a good alternative to monopotassium phosphate.

There is a lot more I could go into on this but I won't clog up your post
