Oldbear Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 @ratdog Hey rat, I use it when I pot up my runs and once every couple of weeks with mums, really helps newly potted ones get their roots on Good luck with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) im sure you lot probably know this anyway, but for the benefit of the noobs; if you are planning watering it in, or making a microbe tea, always remember to bubble your water or leave it 24 hrs before adding bennies, the chlorine in the tap water has a nasty habit of killing the beneficial bacteria. i used to use this stuff (well not the biosyss, but other beneficials, mychorizals etc when i grew in soil, a long long time ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth - it definitely helps/works.

DrGreenThumb24 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Quick question. I've got a unopened pack of Ecothrive I just found in the shed...way over its expiry date...do we think it's worth using, or will it be dead?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used mine with no issues,used some that got slight moisture in the pack too so it clumped up. Break it back down it'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Hotdogs Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Are people using dechlorinated water with biosys? I used rainwater at first but have been using untreated tap water over winter and I dunno if its made much difference really, the plants still get a perky boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaMelter Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 @Ronnie Hotdogs I used dechlorinated tap water on my last grow but didn't bother this time, couldn't see a difference when using the BioSys. I'm not sure the concentration (of Chlorine/Chloramine) is high enough to affect them tbh. No harm in adding the neutralise, I had a free bottle and its only concentrated Vitamin C anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGreenThumb24 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 All ive read is that the chlorine in top water will likely kill off the bacteria...leaving it to sit for 24hrs should solve that anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped bothering a good while back and haven't noticed any I'll effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anarchycamp Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Same here @MindSoup. Straight from tap, nice touch of warm water in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I got given some biosys by ecothrive Gareth at a BBQ a couple of years ago , started off letting water breathe for 24h but soon got impatient and stopped bothering , no noticeable difference iirc , still worked wonders. Banging product in my opinion , really should pay for some 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
