i have root rot in my hydro system all the plants are 4 weeks into flower and they all seem to have root rot. i just got some hygrozyme and want to know if i should kill all the infected plants and sterilize all the tanks pumps lines ect and start fresh? or will the hygrozyme actually kill the root rot and let th existing plants root up like they should? thx for your input. i really dont want to be fighting a losing battle if i cant kill the root rot, i think im better off starting over i will only lose a month or so of growth as i have another batch of clones almost ready to put in flower. thx again for any advice, rm

hygrozyme will not kill it but h2o2 might. maybe like 3ml per gallon of 35% h2o2. Im not super experienced with root rot myself. To avoid it i stopped using rock wool. I use expanded clay and flood for 15min every 2 hrs.

soak the roots in 3% h202 for a few hours, then rinse the shit out the roots. Also wrap your res in foil, light leaks are usually the culprit.

Then go to 50% nute solution with 20 ml/gal hygrozyme plus 2 tsp/gal 3% h2o2.

Also, house and garden roots excellerator will help a lot. It prevents and cures root rot, but dont use the roots excellerator at the same time as h2o2.

hygrozyme worked for me my problem was that i had light leaks because the res i was using was a bluish color so light was getting in did that but it didnt seem to do nothing so i got a water chiller kept the res temp around 60f because water tends to hold more air in it at that temp then i flushed my plants with some hydrogen peroxide changed the water after about an hour and added 10ml a gallon of hygrozyme and it cleared it up
