If I have a pythium outbreak which is killing my root system can I use h202 to save them?
A. Using h202 in the reservoir will kill the pythium spores, but it may also damage healthy roots that are still remaining unless given the right dose. H202 will oxidize organic material in general, rather than only killing the pythium. Once the damage is gotten this far it’s hard to control. When it comes to pythium the best method for control is prevention. If your crop is close to being done then the best thing to do would be to finish it off and after harvest sterilize everything! Try and keep on top of it this time. Keep reservoir temperature. Back To Top • Q. Should I pre-treat my water by letting it sit out for 24 hours before adding the nutrients? A. Yes, allowing it to sit with the lid off of the container for 24-48 hours will allow the chlorine in the water to dissipate. Back To Top • Q. Can plants live in salt water? A. Most plants do not respond well to saltwater, but different plants have different levels of sodium tolerance. Eventually feeding with saltwater will kill you
