Hygrozyme? Who uses this?

**morrisgreenberg** · 02-05-2010, 05:37 PM

its pricey, around $45 a qt, but if you run hydro and your water temps are close to 75F you should, beacuse if you did get root rot you would have to do a res changeout daily for like 5 days in a row and that takes a lot of hygrozyme, use a little in every watering and your all gold my man, this whole game is all about preventing things, prevent bugs from hitting your garden by spraying, prevent mold by providing good airflow and spray fungicides, prevent root issues by using enzymes, its a small price to pay vs getting hit with any of these problems and spend twice as much battling diseases. one thing i gotta say about hygrozyme is the roots after they have been damaged get repaired very fast, only thing i know that compares to it is root 66 from BC nutes

another thing about enzymes, our bodies have them in the intestines to break down our waste, you could probably use this to clean your kitchen table top

i just keep my rez cool and clean and dont see a reason to use this high priced stuff if something is going wrong with the root system than you are doing something wrong its like a sup to let you slack on simple maintenance i keep my rez at 66 deg the bad stuff dont seem to like well aerated cool h2o i dont even use h2o2 unless im using something new to my garden in this case ill soak in h2o2 solution

all peroxide is is h202, its water with an added oxygen molecule, in your water if you have bacteria this extra oxygen molecule will be released into the water and like a heat seeking missle will attack the bacteria.

Actually, the good bacteria that we want is "Aerobic", organisms with an oxygen-based metabolism.

Bad bacteria is "Anaerobic" which literally means without air (oxygen). These bacterium are the cause of root rot, etc.

So air stones in the reservoir, keeping it at the proper temperature for maximum oxygenation, or adding H2O2 or other substances creates a healthy environment for the roots while having a deadly environment for the Anaerobes.

Everyone says keep your resivor temps down? When I was asking everyone about what to go out and buy I was told to get a heater for my resivor. I did and then I read to keep the plants happy have the resivor temp at 75 deg . Now I whent out and paid for this bad ass heater and it keeps the temp just below 75 deg. I'm thinking great ! Now I'm lowering the temps to closer to 60 deg if I can and am thinking about taking this heater out

waist of money. Anyways I don't have root rot the plants are only clones that have been in the system for 8 days total now and hygrozyme does alot more than just deal with root rot it's a bad mama jama!! Read up on it. It's costly but it's nothing compared to what I've spent to get this far. And root66 by technaflora I use that in conjunction with hygrozyme and thrive b-1 to soak my rockwool in before I clone. Will see what hapens?

Well so far there growing new leaf every day!!! This ever since I put hygrozyme in the resivor . Not sure if that's why all I know is I'm feeling alot better for it. Pluse it looks as though it's doing good for my fresh cut clones as well as a spray on all leaf to clean any dead matter. Good allround stuff. Hygrozyme !!!
