Hey everyone,
I'm putting the final touches on a "living" RDWC plan and would love to get this community's opinion on the specific inputs I've chosen. The goal is to feed a rich microbial colony that in turn feeds the plants, using a wide array of organic stimulants.
The System:
40-gallon Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC)
System will have a chiller and high levels of aeration.
Here is the full lineup of products I plan to run in the reservoir:
Base Nutrients:
BioBizz Grow (Veg)
BioBizz Bloom (Bloom)
Microbial & Enzymatic Core:
Southern Ag GFF: Bacillus subtilis for root protection.
Nite-Out II: Nitrifying bacteria to establish the nitrogen cycle for the organic nutrients.
SLF-100: Enzymatic cleaner for biofilm, dead roots, and to help cycle nutrients.
Supplements, Boosters & Stimulants (All in Reservoir):
FloraBlend: Fermented plant and seaweed blend to feed microbes.
Floralicious+: Humic/fulvic acids, kelp, and amino acids for plant and microbe health.
Kelp4Less Extreme Blend: Soluble kelp, humic/fulvic acids, and aminos for an additional layer of biostimulation.
General Organics BioBud: Organic PK booster for the flowering phase.
Silica: For plant strength (will be added to water first).
Cal-Mag: As needed.
My Questions for the Community:
This is obviously a heavy organic stack. For those who run bioponics, what are your thoughts on using multiple complex stimulants like FloraBlend, Floralicious+, and the Kelp blend together? Is it powerful synergy, or is it overkill that might destabilize the system?
Has anyone run the BioBizz line in true RDWC? I'm particularly interested in how it behaves long-term regarding sludge and stability.
Given this specific lineup, are there any non-obvious challenges I should be prepared for beyond the usual high oxygen demand and pH swings?
Looking at this list, is there anything you think is a "must-have" that I'm missing, or anything that stands out as particularly risky?
Thank you.
