I use 10ml per gallon per water change which varies from week to 3 weeks.

i have just started my first dwc for about 3 weeks now and i am haveing issues with root rot. i am only growing veg plants like peppers, tomatoes etc. cuz its with my daughter. i am not sure what i am doing but i am using hygrozyme with nuits and spraying roots with 35% (water btl cap in 1L spray bottle) then putting back in dwc. looks like some new roots are coming out but one of the plants droop choke and looks all saggy. one plant looks kinda normal and i think it is working. i am not sure if i am doing the amount of care to get rid of the rot. also water temp probably another reason for rot. plz inform thnx

personally i have only heard like one or two positive instances with hygrozyme. I would just pick up some high concentration h202, give it a good 10 min bath with the stuff, then use a regular dose of the h202 for a sterile rez or run some bene's such as AS or Trantula (if you like AN)

AN microbe products are notorious for exasperating a slime problem in DWC. They shouldn't, but they do. Pretty much any other microbe product is fine. I prefer mycogrow soluble

When I flower Ill use the same nutes, but I might use bushmaster to stop stretch.

you dont use anything to keep you nute solution clean? dm zone, sm 90, h2o2, or even aquashield ?
