Im having a problem with either rootrot or brown algae from day 1 on this run. Its dwc, res temps are 68 and plenty of DO and non-organic nutes, but the clones used had the problem before being added to the system and I havent been able to get it under control, veg is ridiculosly stunted. When i dump res and start again it goes away for a ople of days then back with a vengence. H2O2 doesnt seem to be doing much.
From reading around bleach seems to be the answer for killing pathogens as many commercial growers use it and it doesnt oxidize roots as bad as H2O2 as it can be used in much lower doses. Im just wondering how much to use? Ive heard levels from 2ppm-4ppm, then reducing to 0.5ppm permanently. Some say .4ml per gallon or .5ml per gal.
Anyone here that has used this to treat an infection, how much did you use? Or anyone with a link to a guide on using bleach in hydro?
Thanks in advance
