HELP - ARRRRGGHHHH - Pythium Again !!!!!!, Tried everything !!!!

Hi All

Been reading on here from this section that Chlorine can kill/prevent this. I live in UK and we have no Clorex but do have following -

http://www.flairform.com/Products/pythoff.htm - This is just 0.5% Chlorine though and expensive !!!

https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/286022-killing-root-rot-11.html

Can anyone help on dosage/prevention schedule ??

I can also get 15% Chlorine liquid very cheaply and we also have this strong thiick bleach -

Hi again been reading up and they do Pythoff in 20l bottles. This is stronger at 2.5% Chlorine.

It states to be used at 40ml/1000 litre or 0.04/Litre. I have a 100l RDWC so would need 4ml.

BUT

I have just come across this Chlorine at a FRACTION of the cost, it is 4.9% -

So do i just half the dosage with this stuff ?

So 2ml for 100 litres ???

Cheers

Sm-90 will get rid of it and clean the roots. It's cheap and easy to use.

I would never use bleach. I'd use SM-90 along with B-1 then hit it with a nice B-1/"Roots Excelorator"(from house and garden) combination. Bleach? No way for me! I've fixed many root rot issues, but never used bleach. Good luck.

Not bleach but Chlorine as what is in Flairform Pythoff, dont want any organics as sm-90 and never seen it in UK ?

There is a good thread here which shows how it cheaply kills/prevents Pythium -

there are a couple of things you can use basically theres a fungus that prevents Pythium and Fusarium its called GLIOCLADIUM its a soil dwelling fungi that attacks and destroys pathogenic fungi such as those. its applied through a soil drench usually before symptoms are noticed though but should probably still work. GLIOCLADIUM fungicides are sold as GlioMix, SoilGard, Primastop, and Prestop hope that helps good luck

I am in RDWC hydro mate.
