What type of bennies do you use along with hydroguard? I want to use great white with hydroguard but am worried of too many bennies? if that is even possible.I use bennies in my system...I use hydroguard and also use some sub culture B and have been slime free...I run my water at 68-69 degrees ..I was running it lower but was told to bring it up a bit if useing bennies...my roots are pure white as we speak and its been running 7 weeks now...
I did sterilize the system when I got slime...I add added some humic acid to the res and I think thats what set the slime off...so I cleaned and sterilized system..after 5 days of roots in it..I started my bennies....
Any explanation because everywhere I am reading it says water temps are best at 65-68 for multiple reasons.I'm thinking you need your temps 73-74 Fahrenheit (23 Celsius)... Sounds nasty.

How often did you do a res change? As in pull the water out in the system then refill with nutes and bennies? And if you did fewer res changes did you add back bennies through epicenter?I ran my UC sterile for years with great results. Then I ran tea and never looked back... I did do 2 side by sides before a full switch to the liveside and the results spoke for themselves, both times, in taste, looks, yield and less stress by watching how beautiful everything stayed. I keep my H2O at 68 except when I first enter the UC. Knowing my system and plants I start in the UC at 70, even 72, for the first 10 days to 2 weeks, depending on roots. My chillers don't run much at that time. As my girls take to the system and my roots start to swim I adjust my water for the first time.. It's NOT that "most" don't run live, it's more like the few people rocking UC's on forums don't run them. Most on forums play by CC recomendation. CC promotes sterile, which works great. They also sell UC Roots and nutes they test with their products... In the end I found the UC to work every time with ANY quality nute line, sterile or live or vertical or horizontal lighting, as long as we stick to one basic rules of thumb.. KISS... Then as we learn our strain and dial the rooms environment we can play a little more with additives and whatnot. I feel adding too much in the stew causes more issues than live or sterile or this line or that line.. just stick to something and get to know it and your rock your system... Just my 2 cents..
And what bennies do you use? Do you add the same amount and your initially adding weekly? bi weekly? never again?You should never have to change your rez. Alive or sterile. If you run a balanced system and low e.c. and have your ph and water temps always in check then you shouldn't have to do any changeouts.at least i never do.and i continuously get 2gs per watt min. keep farmin peeps. ......
