Don't Be Fooled By Fakes - PROOF Hydretain Works

Hydretain is very different than anything else on the market. See in this video the material absorbing humidity right out of the air. It does the same thing in the root zone, sequestering moisture near the roots before it is lost to evaporation.

Look like a damn professional using that card.

[@kento702]

That's 1 hell of a fun experiment!

[@yardmastery]

I'm going to mess with it some more too.

[@stulax18]

Liquid Hydretain has a surfactant in it as well according to the label. I just sprayed it today, and the surfactant made the existing water droplets wet the whole blade. It was pretty cool to see.

[@thefpvlife7785]

I’ve had great success with the hose in bio advanced root moisturizer. I do recommend it.

[@richardsmith1161]

A must have in Florida with sandy soil.

[@benharrison1069]

I've seen it before, but still a good demo, Allyn. 👍

[@Commander_D]

Great video as always, especially the experiment. Assuming that an individual can water-in immediately after either way, would you recommend the Hydretain liquid or granular? I used the liquid for the first time last week and I like the results, but the granular does seem cheaper. Wondering if there is a difference in the results.

[@williammeyer9801]

I would love to see a plant test with the granual one. I dont have a irrigation system, so it is hard for me to use the liquid.

[@pimpfasho11]

He has one, check it out.

Alan , just ordered!! as I forgot with my last order..We are as dry as a "Popcorn Fart" here in Chesapeake Va!! And next week looks Brutal!!!😵

When you put that powder down and started using a credit card to make a line, I knew I had to go to the comments 😂

[@martyariemma5604]

Can I apply this even if it’s hot out? Any time of day? I know you have to water it in afterwards or it’ll burn your grass blades

[@grizzsoup]

Cool little experiment 🧪 🔬 🤓 I plan to apply Hydretain soon. Excited for the benefits!

[@moparfanboy]

I struggled with fungus in my tall fescue last summer. Don’t want to blame it on hydretain, but I’ll try to ride out this season without it.

[@thefpvlife7785]

Remember the 150 rule. Combined the air temperature with the humidity and if it’s greater than 150, your fungus will thrive.

[@rayminyard1]

In Oklahoma fescue doesn’t stand a chance 100 degree heat. I have Bermuda in front and fescue in back. For years I had to spend so much time and water trying just to get fescue to fall. I tried your hydrate products and don’t really see it working. For me I can’t justify using it. But love all your other products.

[@Thelawncarenut]

You live in one of those really tough transition zone areas. I bet the Bermuda does good in summer for sure !

[@lonehail1280]

So I'm not understanding. Why do you have to water it in 4:23 if it sucks up water and dissolves like that?

[@yardmastery]

because it needs to get into the root zone. If you don't water it in it will stay on top of the lawn or get stuck in thatch where it will do no good.

[@kickingrassdiy3432]

The only time I’ve ever used this stuff is only time I’ve ever had a horrible fungus problem. I put it down on one part of my yard and not the other to just see what happens. And within 3 weeks that part had a horrible fungus outbreak and killed it all. I learned my lesson on all this so called magical liquid crap. What does your lawn and wallet have in common. They both stay greener when you stick to the basics 😂

[@pillcosby3949]

It’s funny you mention that because my neighbor was all excited to try this stuff too after his lawn Reno this spring and he has a shit ton of fungus he’s dealing with right now too

[@blackhornet25]

I get what you're saying. My question is, are you 100% certain this product caused it or was there a preexisting problem that already existed

[@kickingrassdiy3432]

I know there’s a chance that there was something else going on but it only happened to the part that I sprayed. Knock on wood never has it happened again and I don’t use that stuff anymore either. So I do believe it was the root cause of the problem. I’m sure this stuff has a place but not in my yard.

[@codyu1012]

What was your watering schedule like? I use it every year and never an issue

[@kickingrassdiy3432]

It’s the exact same as it’s always been. 30 minutes per zone 3 days a week.

[@SpartansTurf]

Trying to get my boss to buy some! lol out of 11 people in the only one with this kind of LCN knowledge in the know hahaha ❤😂😢

[@Thelawncarenut]

Keep fighting the good fight ! 💪

[@ReMiNiSc388]

The question I have is this: What happens AFTER the active ingredient converts to water? Seems like it's a fairly quick reaction. If one application is good for over 30+ days, how long does the active ingredient REALLY last

[@yardmastery]

One app is good for 90 days and the product converts back to it's original form if the soil dries out 100%. So it's able to go back and forth to hold water for 3 months.

[@ReMiNiSc388]

@@yardmastery interesting stuff, thank you

[@anthonynedelmanph.d.7311]

Ok I have a legitimate newbie question. Let’s say I have the granular and water it in. It takes the water, granular turns into water, usefulness over?

[@yardmastery]

It lasts for 90 days and will continue working through that time. Over and over.

[@anthonynedelmanph.d.7311]

@@yardmastery thanks Allyn!

[@thefpvlife7785]

The granular will create a barrier of moisture in the root zone, keeping that section hydrated for more than without the hydretain.

[@fuelmmma]

Looks like your busting out lines..

[@carlosaracil7980]

The label says it covers 2,500-5,000 sf, why the big difference?

[@thefpvlife7785]

First application versus maintenance application.

[@ZombieHowTo]

A better thumbnail would have been with it on a table in a nice line and you looking at it like you were going to snort it and title the video "hydretain really hits the spot!". IDK something like that.

[@yardmastery]

Nice ! 🤣

[@nomargins]

Letem Know 👍🏽👍🏽💯

[@milanjurich1526]

Please know you’ll need to adjust any automated irrigation schedule as the controllers do not know you’ve added Hydretain. Now wouldn’t that be cool if you could add that setting.

Hi there, I'm a newbie to lawn care. I recently used Air8 and RGS together on my lawn and about 2 or 3 days later I started getting little brown mushrooms in patches about a foot³ areas. Any ideas?

[@yardmastery]

mushrooms are great - they grow on organic materials. Just keep mowing and stick to the plan, all good!

[@kickingrassdiy3432]

You need to watch dr Shaddox on KZbin. He is a real turf grass expert. I like watching lawn care nut and have for years but I stopped buying into these products over a year ago and have been doing just npk and mostly Nitrogen. My yards never looked better. Save your money and put it towards watering or food for yourself. You will be better off.
