Ive been getting informed on the importance of microbes in my feed and after really understanding what nutrient bottle does what I realized I have a lot of microbes going into my fertigation feed.
General setup:
- 2x4 tent
- Coco perlite 70/30
Spider Farmer SF2000 @ 400-600 PPFD
- W4 Veg feed Fox Farm hydro schedule
-Hand water 2x / 3x day
- 1300-1600 ppm (2.3-2.6 EC in)
- 5.6-5.8 PH
- 77/63 (lights on) 70/52 (lights off)
- 18/6 for veg. StartEd 16/8 cycle
- 14/10 next week after transfer to 5 gallon pot.
- VPD focus @ 0.9-1.1
Question:
Every feed I alternate FF Microbe brew & root drench, but always add recharge and Orcas mycorrhiza. How much is too much? My plants seem to be doing good? Thoughts? Overkill?

It can be too much on your wallet, that's for sure lol. Check out timestamp 28:38 in this video. You may actually want to tune into the whole video after if microbes is an interest of yours.
Remember that microbes continue to grow and multiply after applied. Considering your enviornment always reapplying microbes can be wasteful. The only reason to reapply microbes is to when you want to make sure you know what the microbial balance is.
Using pH controllers I don't think it's possible to have to much microbes. Also the dry periods take some out as well. I've never ran into a negative impact from microbe colonies and I haven't heard of one. Not saying it isn't possible, but if you're feeding the microbes I don't see what issue could be caused.
