they don't even say it's for rot prevention on their website, more like a system cleaner.

"Cultured Solutions UC Roots is a hydroponic mineral de-scaler that prevents and reduces mineral deposits in hydroponic media and irrigation equipment."

Just wanna say..... Good job guys, nobody wants to pay extra for water! But seriously, you gotta love RIU’s community sometimes, they tend to not push brands and are all about helping to find a cheaper alternative if it’s out there! I fckn love this place.

It’s not for root rot.... it’s to keep your medium and equipment “clean” so you don’t get root rot and other things as well. It will help get rid of it all the same. It will remove any contamination from the root rot and hopefully allow his roots to heal.

i used to use Dutchmaster Zone when i started many years ago. then they got bought out by Fuji and they were supposed to start making it again.
by then i had switched to pool shock.

and now southern ag to go the bacteria route.

Pool shock. .01 grams per gallon.

Get it at Wal-Mart. 1kg lasts years for a small res.

H202 is expensive. Takes a lot to get through a grow.

Bleach works. Just that liquid can make a mess.

Only problem with shock is you want a .01gram scale. Amazon has one for 12$.

I use pool shock but i've never added it straight to the res. How often to to re-apply it with this method?

I dilute my Southern Ag GFF down to around a 1:8 ratio with water (that's what fits in a tiny bottle I have), then use that dilution at 1ml/gal.

i don't bother watering it down: my bottle lasts about a year.

while we're talking about it though, have you ever heard/read if it expires at some point once the seal is broken?

I'm sure it has a shelf life, but don't know what it is. I think you're good for the year time you use it though. I believe that my watered down version has a much shorter life, which is why I mix it into tiny bottles. I only water it down, because it's easier to work with when I just want to do gallon or two mixes and stuff.
