💧 Using PCFSA in Drip Systems & Hydroponics

How to Feed Clean & Stack Heavy in Recirculating Systems

If you're running a drip system, ebb & flow, or recirculating hydro setup, you're already chasing maximum efficiency — but not every nutrient line plays nice in these systems.

The good news?
✅ PCFSA works beautifully in drip and hydro — with a few smart tips.

Here’s how to dial it in and avoid clogging, anaerobic messes, or wasted nutrients.

🌸 Flower Stack™ in Drip & Hydro Systems

PCFSA Flower Stack™ is ultra-concentrated and mixes clean — no salts, dyes, or gunky binders. But because it’s all-natural and bioavailable, it should always be:

✅ Mixed fresh

Never mix and store Flower Stack™ for more than 12–24 hours. The ingredients will separate and may go stale in stagnant water.

✅ Used with aeration & circulation

If you’re feeding from a reservoir, use an air stone and a circulation pump to keep the solution active. This prevents:

  • Settling at the bottom

  • Microbial funk

  • Uneven feed strength

✅ Filtered at the drip line

Use an in-line mesh filter or screen before your emitters to prevent fine organic particles from clogging.

📅 Feeding Frequency

  • 1 vial per gallon every 5–7 days

  • For automated systems, mix fresh solution in a secondary tank and use for a single feeding cycle (don’t store!)

💧 Worm Tea Concentrate in Recirculating Systems

PCFSA Worm Tea is shelf-stable before it’s mixed — but once diluted with water, it’s a living solution.

✅ Always aerate your tea tank

Treat Worm Tea like a compost tea. Once mixed, it must be aerated and used within 24 hours. This keeps microbes alive and avoids anaerobic rot.

✅ Avoid overuse

Drip systems don’t need as much Worm Tea per gallon. Use 2 oz per gallon weekly to maintain microbial life in coco/hydroton systems.

🚫 Don’t let Worm Tea stagnate

Microbes will go anaerobic and crash your root zone if tea is left sitting without oxygen. Use up all mixed solution within 12–24 hours max.

🪱 Super Worm Castings in Hydro?

Nope — not recommended.

While Super Worm Castings are fantastic in soil and soilless mediums, they aren’t ideal for hydro setups due to:

  • Potential for pump clogging

  • Organic sediment buildup

  • Risk of microbial imbalance in water-based systems

Save castings for your clones, soil pre-mix, or side-by-side soil comparisons.

🧠 Pro Tips for System Use

✅ Always clean reservoirs between uses (especially after Flower Stack™ or Worm Tea)
✅ Use food-safe tubing and mesh filters to catch fine particles
✅ Try a side test before switching your full system
✅ Watch EC levels — PCFSA runs clean and won't spike salt readings

🔁 Compatible Grow Systems

PCFSA products are fully compatible with:

  • Drip irrigation (gravity or pump-fed)

  • Recirculating deep water culture (DWC)

  • Ebb & flow (flood and drain)

  • Coco/perlite with automated feeding

  • Top-fed hydro hybrids

  • Soilless drip blends and smart pots

🛒 Stack Clean, Feed Smart

Clean inputs = clean lines = fat stacks.
If you’re a hydro grower tired of the salt game, PCFSA is your upgrade.
