Thanks Herb. I've just been adjusting my PH and adding nothing but Ca-25 one night and then the next night giving them a nutrient rich foliar, a mixture of Caps tea with alfalfa and Sea Green added at the end. Growth is shiny plastic green, and my stems look extra green this round, not a touch of red or purple anywhere.
What is Sea Green and is it anything like Green Sand? Would it be useful to add to RDWC or is it insoluble?
Sea green is another beneficial inoculant. It is nothing like green sand.
I wouldn't use it in a RDWC Ty. The stuff foams up like crazy and makes a big mess when hit with an air stone or mixed. I'm sure it's because of the Yucca in the mix. I wish it didn't, id love to run it in my UC.

Thank you. Would sea green be redundant with your products?
That I do not know as they list it as a fertilizer and not a bio product, so they keep all their species a secret.
You sound familiar with Greensand, as well. Do you think it has potential as an RDWC nutrient?
Greensand is used as a soil amendment Ty and it takes almost 5 years before it begins to break down and give your plant mineral supplements. Wouldn't recommend using it unless you recycle soil for ages. Ya Cap I almost bought that version and noticed the different label a few weeks back, now I know what it is.

If you want a good mineral supplement with calcium, magnesium and iron. Id recommend a foliar of soft rock dust at 1 tsp a liter. Most rock dusts and mineral supplements aren't completely organic, but beneficial bacteria love to eat this stuff up and secrete organic Nitrogen onto your leaves. Got some soft rock dust free last time I ordered some Agrowinn Worm castings.
How did your run turn out? I just read the whole thread and you said you were doing a side by sideThat's why I said to apply the rock dust as a foliar at 1 tsp per liter, not into your RDWC. It's a good source of Ca, Mg, and Iron and other trace minerals. Id recommend an organic surfactant also like liquid yucca extract.
