Root Rot In CoCo

With coco, I use my beneficial tea all the way through till flush. I believe you can do the same but I've never done it, but all it's gonna do is help out your root structure which is always good. The bigger the root mass the more yield. I heard you can use the enzymes to flush the coco if your gonna re use it.
 
I heard you were supposed to stop with the enzymes in flower, about half way through? I just thought root rot was bad for them and the enzyme would clean that up?

If you look at the line up for advanced nutrients I think they tell you to stop half way threw with the enzymes because the root structure is advanced enough to where if the rot happens your plant will have enough time to finish up before it stresses the plant out. Atleast I think that's why they tell you to stop. It's just basically beneficial bacteria anyways, it's not nutrients so I'd use it till flush. Let me know how it works.
 
My thought would be it could only help but I guess it could focus growth upstairs...? Who knows, I have read a hundred different time frames for your nutes.

Yeah, enzymes are good idea in coco, imo.

When i stop using enzymes in coco i get root problems. I use it until the final weeks of flower, usually at 1/2 - 2/3 strength.

There are alot of opinions on Enzyme additives. This is just my opinon.

My worst root problems and root pest problems came near the end of a 6-8 month period of not using Multiyme.

I think a couple days would do little though. From what I understand, these bottled enzymes are very short lived in the root zone. Continued use will help with roots though.

The enzymes help create better root masses and structure which in turn will allow the plant to get more growth. Also support more weight. On my plants I have to eventalky tight up the nugs or I'll have my branches stripping themselves off the main stalk.
