Was created by Cap I believe, the guy that bred MAC. (I may be getting this wrong haha) but it is good stuff, I have had good experience so far mixing straight into water, but haven't used it as a tea. This is from their website:




"The root pack is a microbial inoculant. It is a proprietary blend of highly concentrated beneficial fungi and bacteria that perform many important functions in the rhizosphere (the root zone). It is not a fertilizer, and can be used in conjunction with any nutrient program. When comparing spore counts and diversity, we feel that there is no competition and no product like it! The root pack promotes plant health by boosting the immune system, increasing shoot and root growth, multiplying flower production, increasing essential oil production, and contributing to the overall well being of your plants! There are species in the root pack that will also deter algae growth on rockwool when the root pack is added to your recirculating reservoir at the rate of 1/3 tsp per gallon. The root pack is an amazing addition to your compost tea as well. Try it once and you will see. It truly is a game changer."

Looks like good stuff, but I like the RAW better I think. It has some newer isolated bacillis subspecies that are extremely effective, like amiloliquefaciens. Not sure if I spelled that right lol. But yeah a lot of these products are designed to do the same thing. Protect the roots by competing with bad bacteria and fungi for the available food sources and keep the roots clean and functioning optimally, and enhancing nutrient availability.

Root damage or you're not watering enough or a combination of both in either case I would raise and or turn down the light until figured out the issue

how much water are you using for a typical watering, how often and what size pot is that?

5 gallon fabric pot. I started out watering the same amount I did when they were 1 gallon and I’ve been watering a little more every time. I usually use about 1.5 gallons on the 6 plants. Is that too little?

Yes I think so, to me they look like they are chronically under-watered and need water. I would water til some runoff came out the bottom, about 10 or 20% from each pot and that should fix your problem

I also have five gallon grow bags so that's about 2 gallons of water per plant, good luck!

would you say this is better than recharge ?

@Dirtbag @Beachwalker @Jack og @MIMedGrower @Beowuuulf @threatco @Dan789 thanks for the advice yesterday guys. I fed the plants a double strength dose of recharge and gave each of them a about 1 1/2 gallons. Now they look Like they’re back on track.
