I have a mixed substrate made from Tesco Essentials Cat Litter, Lava Rock and ADA Malaysia. My intention is to use this as a base for a dry start prior to flooding.
The question is should I attempt to “charge” the clay substrate by soaking it with water rich in nutrients? Also would there be any benefit in adding a humus based liquid carbon source in the initial water, again to “charge” the substrate? It seems logical to me that it would be worthwhile but I’m looking for some technical expertise to back up a hunch!
