Has anyone used these Root enhancers?

[Blunted22]

Hey guys im looking around on adding things to help my grow and im looking at these products that are suppose to increase root growth, break down rejected root elements and coverting them to usable sugars all while keeping the meduim clean and help to prvent root rot.

So i was wondering does anyoen use anything like these products and if you do have you seen a difference? plsease let me know and info on any of these.

01. Cannazym - 5 Liter
02. Sensi Zym - 10 Liter
03. Piranha - Benificial Fungi - 500g
04. Hygrozyme - Gallon
05. VooDoo Juice - 4 Liter


Also wondering about Bud Blood - 300g $108.00

This product helps plants convert to the Flower cycle quickly.

I assume Bud Blood is similar to Bushmaster? If so, Bushmaster is a better deal. Still expensive but not that friggin expensive?
I use Hygrozyme and I doubt I would ever run hydro without it. My roots are always nice and white and I use Liquid Karma, Floralicious and Floranova. Its obviously doing its job. The combo of Hygrozyme and Hydroguard has worked well in my long career of 2 grows lol.

Hygrozyme is great for sure. Another one you may want to look at is Home and Garden's Van de Zwaan Roots Accelerator. I'm gonna be running some tests with it soon as a trusted buddy raves about it. It's about $110 per 12 oz bottle and you use 1 oz per 25 gallons throughout the cycle. He said no algae, no pythium, massive white roots no matter what is going on in the environment. He's been using it in DWC with stellar results.

Hygrozyme here for veg/first 2 weeks of flower. It's pricey at $40 a quart, but worth it.

MTF-Sandman- Any reason why you only use it until the second week of flower?

Enzyme additives aren't root enhanchers in per se, enzymes help speeding up the natural decomposition. They break down dead root mass, which transform into carbohydrates and nutrients, which accelerate plant growth as well as assist beneficial bacteria growth. That bacteria will be beneficial to roots, so in that sense you're right.
Sipco market hygrozyme as a bacteria free enzyme product, and while it doesn't necessarily makes sense in soil, it seems to work great in hydro. Let's just say that unless you run anti-bacterial products such as hydrogen peroxide in your hydro system, it is never sterile. Inert or organic mediums, rockwool, coco, clay balls or perlite in the shape of cubes, slabs or in net pots are all formidable bacteria nurseries, becuase they absorb nutritive liquids that 'sit' in the medium. Most of these bacteria are harmless or good to the plants (plants have evolved over million of years in symbiosis with these bacteria, so they've learned how to neutralize or make benefit out of them). Even fungi - feared by indoor growers - are beneficial to and work together with the plants, as long as a natural equilibrium exists. The problem starts when the environment becomes very micro-organism friendly. Nutrients, still water and heat gives them everything they want to reproduce disproportionately, and become a nuisance to the plant. It is my personal opinion that in a well-conceived hydro system (in a well-conceived growroom), which constantly circulates the nutrient solution (changed regularly), where temperatures and ventilation is au point, there is minimal need for enzyme products. The decomposition process of organic matter in the reservoir never becomes a risk to the plants, therefore no point in speeding it up.
The higher benefit you observe from enzyme products, the more reason to ask yourself if your hydro system is in good shape.
Nevertheless, enzymes are beneficial for the root environment, so no point in not running them.
Hygrozyme is pricey. Approximately $40/liter in most US growshops, and even more in European shops.
For that kind of money, I can buy myself a brand new high quality 600w HPS bulb, that would do more to both growth and yield than any enzyme product ever will.
Just to put things in perspective.
I believe that the biggest advantage with hygrozyme is its very long shelf life. Enzyme products are unstable and loose in efficiency over time. If the product sits in a stock, growshop or in the grower's nutrient cabinet for a while, it could be of significally reduced quality when used.

Never saw any benefits from running it throughout flowering. Seems to be most effective while the root structure is getting going...and after the second week of flowering root growth severly slows. Plus I'm a cheap bastard

I had a friend who started using Hygrozyme is his soil grows and the results were pretty impressive.

Sure, but probably because hygrozyme speed up the decomposition (which increases the amount of uptakeable carbohydrates for the plant) and contains a variety of amino acids, not becuase it is sterile. This is what they say themselves, on their web site:
"With HYGROZYME there is no longer a need to introduce or create crop vulnerability by introducing a foreign germ culture to your sterile growing environment."
You will not find any sterile soil unless you kill the bacteria in it, so why use a sterile enyme product (in general double price to all other enzyme products), and introduce it in a flourishing bacteria culture?
The big advantage with hygrozyme is that it can be used in hydroponics together with hydrogen peroxide, or related products such as hydroguard, without killing the enzymes.

 

[Blunted22]

so does this mean that you guys thinks its benificial to run hygrozyme, and hydroguard. Im basically looking for anything and everything that will make my ladies better.

and peroxide ive heard alot of people useing this what does ti do and it seems like it would be bad for you and the plants.

 

[ItsGrowTime]

Go ahead and use both if you dont mind the prices. The H2O2 will kill the Hydroguard bacteria so only use it when you need to...which you will likely never have.

I've used H202 (superoxy by brand) which runs about $10 per liter and the plants always have strong white roots. Originally I used it only once per mix of a new rez but I've read that it dissolves out of the water after 2 hours and started adding it 20 min(per their instructions) before each daily watering. However once the roots grew out of the 4x4 cubes I think their taking oxygen from the air became more important than the 10 minutes of soaking in h202. But if a sterile environment is needed, my location was prone to mold problems, the h202 works very well. Just FYI I use GH 123 with cal mag added for the RO water, and the h202. Someday I hope to do a side by side run of a table with h202 and another run w/o.
On the subject of root enhancers does anyone here use mycorrizae (sp?) fungus on their roots? I tried it on 4 of 6 plants and those 4 within 1 week were substantially larger than the 2 that did not receive the fungus. Those two were also the smallest yielding to no surprise.

I like hygrozyme for the reason that I can put peroxide into the res, If I feel like it. As for Greeny, use neem oil as a foliar throughout veg and maybe the first weekin veg and it will help with fungal issues. I wouldn't really buy hydroguard or a lot of the other beneficials. You can use foxfarm starter 3-4-3 and dilute it with water to get it much cheaper. It contains lots of beneficials.

I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT HYDROZYOME.....IN HYDRO IT CAN CAUSE FUNGUS, NOT SAYING IT'S NOT A GOOD PRODUCT BUT AT THIS TIME I WONT USE IT
