Nutrients GW, Hyrdoguard, and Recharge

[CannabisMingus]

Question for @Mañ'O'Green (and any others who would like to chime in). I have being using Great White in my DWC system and am thinking I can do better - noticing some dead spots in the root system after chop and spots of biofilm and slimly stiff that may or may not be beneficial during the grow. I am considering:

1. Going back to Hydroguard, dosed as recommended, and/or
2. Apply Recharge 2 prior to my weekly res change.

Any recent thoughts on Hydroguard and its effectiveness? I know you used to recommend it I believe you stated you were having better results with Recharge (I may be wrong on this). So - 1, 2 or 1+2? Thanks in advance for your help!

I think I may have found my answer: Can I make Heisenberg tea for DWC using just recharge or great white? | The Autoflower Network

I would not even consider DWC without Botanicare HydroGuard. It saved more than one grow for me. I stopped DWC only because I cannot control the res temperatures here in this hot ass valley.

I would not be afraid to use Great White and HydroGuard together. The thing you need to watch out for is the overgrowth of that bio-film. It will diminish the ability of the water to pick up dissolved oxygen. Recharge will definitely spur the growth of a soup. I have not used it in DWC so I cannot say for sure how that would work out.

Thanks Chief. I may just run Hydroguard solo next run and see how it goes. Going from carpet bombing (GW) to precision strike (Hydroguard).
