agreed, I tend to give a little less (1 ml per g 35%) and it keeps all my reservoir nasties in check. Not to mention the added bonus of oxygenating your water.

I used to use nothing at all..!!!

But I got scared...lol...

So I have been using Hygrozyme and Sensizyme when the shop is out of Hygro (all the time it seems..)

Am I mistaken that these enzymes will keep the nasties at bay?

I am currently giving the FF line a try...

I have the Tiger Bloom and all 3 solubles (additives)... plus the enzymes...

Any thoughts?

 

[LoudBlunts]

enzymes eat the dead root matter and spark new life to root growth

 

[GypsyBush]

Do the enzymes offer any pathogen protection? do they keep the nasties away?

Thanks! They are just getting started... I have over 100 of them around the house now...

These were started in hydroton on the ebb/flow.. under the 600...

I moved them outside to soil this weekend, it's been pretty warm here...

depending on where you live it is hard to get these days. but 35% at 1.7 ml/l or 50% at 1 ml/l but the little brown bottles are not the answer.
treat every 2-3 days forever and you wont have issues as long as temps and all the other shit is/are right.

I have 3% hydrogen peroxide, how much should i use per gallon of water.

 

[easygrinder]

Yes, you're right, he can't do anything about it,


But I can.


And I will if you continue to have problems with the Rollitup forums.

i don't have any problems with the forums, just some of the users decide to gang up on me, i never said anything out of line, or anything that contradicts site rules, i haven't been rude.

Gorgeous pics Gypsy!!! I love springtime so much.

easygrinder, please just drop it. Add to the conversation in some constructive way. Do you use H202 in your reservoir? Why/Why not? What do you think of Gypsys sunflowers?

Thanks!

Yeah! I think it's on for real now... I really don't think we'll freeze again till fall now... but I have seen snow fall on every month of the year... I have been snowed and sleeted on during a Kayak trip on 4th of July Weekend...!!!

But I do think Spring is here to stay now...

We get 2 weeks of Spring, 2 monthes of Summer, 2 weeks of Fall and 9 MONTHS of Winter...lol...

Do the enzymes offer any pathogen protection? do they keep the nasties away?

simple answer: no

however a very well colonized (bacteria?) will fight off any bad.

its much harder for the nasties to take over when the beneficials are large and incharge



if you are looking more gentle alternatives to h2o2

try Hydroguard (new name is Aquashield)
sm90

Thanks!

And which one would be compatible with organic nutrients such as FF line of products..?

 

[LoudBlunts]

FF the tomato nutes?

 

[GypsyBush]

I am currently using Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and the 3 solubles along with the Sensizyme right now...

 

[LoudBlunts]

i would get some different nutes other than fox farm before i start investing in enzymes.

however, i use cannazym, hydroguard and sm90

would you please elaborate on the nutes...

now... do you use all 3 products above at the same time?

jeez... i wonder how I got this far... i have a lot to learn...lol..

-imho, enzymes are for breaking down the root matter, i think it can also keep your roots shorts if need be. however, some products are for explosive root growth then on the other hand you spending more money to eat the dead root matter or shorten roots...so its always a catch 22

i use enzymes because i flood n drain coco in my SoG Cab....and the enzymes allow me to recycle/reuse my coco. it breaks down dead root matter and has regenerative plant extracts and stimulates micro life back into the coco when reusing it.

i also use cannazym in my aero setups if i have any medium as well... i.e. coco croutons in place of hydroton.

-i found hydroguard because yea i've heard great things about it... i only bought it to give me reason to check out a hydro shop around town... (i was hella pussy showing my face, but wanted to see what they offered) so i grabbed some hydroguard because i heard all the good raving about it.

my two cents: its the bomb...especially if you have somewhat high res temps and dont wanna use h2o2. Its like an 'organic' h2o2... (analogy in reference to the way they market organics as gentle and better). The hydroguard contains all kinda beneficial bacteria to fight off shit. This is what i meant by if you let the bacteria colonize there is no way bad bacteria will take over...if they do...it must be one bad bitch.

-sm90 i've found out about this cuz i wanted to get rid of my annoying gnat problem. sm90 is just all around good. its made up of mostly oils soooo fully natural shit. its a wetting agent amongst other things. it also helps to keep my pump lines and sprayer lines clean and lubed. another thing i like about it...when i do add to the res...i can see noticeable new root growth....sm90 is a root system maintenance 'nute' and its also like an enzyme but not. its like h2o2 and hydroguard but its not. almost a mixture of all three products


soooo to answer your question....it depends on which growing method i decide, that will dictate if i use all 3 additives


and keep in mind...all this complex shit isnt needed. however in certain situation, imho...i believe its hella beneficial especially if you dont have the money to buy a res chiller for the res....sometimes you really can get by, by just adding some h2o2, some hydroguard or sm90 whatever nute/additive you like and experimenting can give you answers beyond anything i can tell ya

thas what i do...just heavy experimenting in my lab
