lol this is expensive shit but you can make it for a couple bucks from rice wash and milk i read a thread somewhere just google lacto acid bacteria lab serum you will add this 2ml per gal takes about 10-15 days to brew but i made 10 liters for about 10 bucks just strain it to 400 microns and its hydro safe

So if I run into a issue try blasting them with orca? I've always just ran the suggested additive amount.

What's so bad with killing everything? I'm not an experienced grower by any means but this is probably the third time doing a reset on the bacteria in there. I figured as long as I continued reapplying orca after I'm just building the good bennies right back up quickly
Orca in Dwc ain't a god send homie. I wish it were that simple. 72 degrees.... no worries you are in a 5% range of perfect from my little 11 years of hydro experience. H202 works great. On the next run try hydro guard. Gives ya a bit more latching point for beni's in the root zone. Maybe a extra day or two max. Just keep at it with the guard and the roots will be pearly white. Ad your beni's and keep topping off. You're solid

But what is the draw back of just running peroxide? It's so cheap and has bailed me out of problems a couple times now.

Yea I agree, next round I have a temp controlled chiller so I don't think I'll have too much of a problem then.

peroxide is ok as a treatment i know it increases do levels but all it is doing really is burning the stuff away its like having a chest infection and rubbing vix on it sure you will have relief but when you wake up its back bennies are like anti biotics and pro biotics for your plant what is your full nute set and ro or no ro

orca and hydrogaurd are the same thing basically but orca is stronger but like i said you can make this stuff for buttons

yes apply 2-3ml on roots and 2ml into hydroton then add to res as usual next time though brew teas and start young you wont need to treat anything just 1l per 10gal once a week then change res 2 day after to what you feed now
