Just mixed 1 packet in 2 cups of system water and dipped an OG bounce in it for 15 minutes.
Whats interesting is almost instantly after placing the frag plug in medicated water It started to become cloudy with white particals. Over the period of 15 minutes it became increasingly white and cloudy and had to blow it off shroom and plug constantly.
What would cause the white cloudy water after the plug and shroom was added?
Medication was fully dissolved before placement.

I'd send an email to API and ask them as well!

Was under the impression that API General Cure is meant for treating fishes only.

This was strictly for experimental purposes only. I wanted to see what if any kind of effect medication had on my melting shroom.
It had no effect good or bad that I know of. Shroom is still melting.
