Hello,
I have been doing hydro for a few years. About a year ago I started getting a bit of rot in my DWC system. Each crop I would lose a plant or two. I had three small systems. 1 dwc, 1 homemade ebb and gro type and 1 low pressure aero. I was using 1 ml per gallon H2O2 in that system.
The rot destroyed three crops in a row in my DWC, never got past the vegetative stage in either. No matter what I would do, roots would brown and die and the plants would not grow. I used hydrogen peroxide and bleach. No matter it always came back. It had also spread to my aero and ebb and flow systems. All growth stopped in every room. I would bleach the systems out and refill and it was back in a few days.
I tore everything out and threw everything away. I bleached my basement from top to bottom. I got rid of the DWC as it seemed to be the source of the problem. I rebuilt everything. I have another homemade ebb and gro system. A small ebb and flow table. A low pressure aero setup. The ebb and flow table (where I wanted to vegetate) got rot. I tore it out.
I am now using 2 ml per gallon 35% h2o2 every day and it seems to be holding it off, but I am deathly afraid of the rot coming back. Here is my question:
How much hydrogen peroxide can I use safely EVERY DAY? The 2 ml per gallons seems to be tolerable, the roots stay nice and white SO FAR, but I want to use more if possible.
I am a medical marijuana patient and I need the medication for nausea, pain and sleep. I have barely grown any in the last year because of this problem and i have spent a small fortune rebuilding everything and cleaning, etc. Someone please give me a bulletproof way to deal with this pythium problem. I have thought of using benefitial microbes, but I am afraid it would just be another expensive mess and plants in the dumpster. I need something that cannot fail
I have read on this site for a long time and Al B Fuct says he uses 4 ml of 50% H2O2 per gallon every three or four days. 50% is STRONG SHIT. This is the equivelant of about 6 ml per gallon of the 35% every few days. This is how I came up with the 2 ml per day number. Can I use 3 ml per gallon per day and still not harm the roots?
What about coco? How common is root rot growing in coco? I am thinking of starting a coco grow. Someone please help.
Thanks in advance!!
