Thanks Purp! I just looked up Cannazym, and it's very similar to Hygrozyme. Comparable price too; the Hygrozyme is actually the more expensive of the two. And you can't use peroxide with Cannazym, but can with Hygrozyme. (Once having used peroxide, you need to keep using it for the duration of those plants' lives, because it kills dangerous and beneficial bacteria; therefore stopping its use increases the risk of infection/disease.) Perhaps the Cannazym does something that peroxide also does? I'd have to research it more, for future reference. No sense in buying another bottle of pretty much the same thing! The Rhizotonic looks good too, but I'm way too broke to get two different products right now.... getting even a halfway decent setup going for growing is more expensive than I'd thought it would be!
Hmmm, reading up more on Hygrozyme, Cannazym, and Rhizotonic (there are links with a lot more info, but these three are all on the same site and there's enough basic info to compare them).... Cannazym says to start using the second week of cultivation, whereas Hygrozyme is also used for grow media such as rockwool, seedlings, and cuttings. Can be used for foliar spray "to enhance protein development and increase photosynthesis" as well. It looks like Hygrozyme does pretty much all that Cannazym and Rhizotonic do, combined. (Rhizotonic says also for seedlings and foliar spraying.)
So far it appears that Hygrozyme was a good choice. Definitely a much less expensive one, when combining the two Canna products for the same functions. (Or at least basically. No two brands are ever the same, of course.) You might want to look it up if you ever get a problem, or if you just want to ensure that your reservoir stays much cleaner between drainings by breaking down dead plant matter and recycling it into food for the plants.
I'm so glad you told me about these. Always good to read all you can, and find out everything that's out there! I feel better now that the Hygrozyme should help this situation enough to most likely prevent me from having to cut and re-root my babies! With other stuff out there made for the same purposes, it gave me more to research. If I'd have known about these products when I was gardening all those years before, I probably wouldn't have had to cut plants due to pythium! Oh well, live and learn, eh?
