[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I have been experimenting with the dead rez Idea for a couple of months now.
Our local water source is contaminated with some sort of bacteria/fungi that over takes the plants very quickly.
To date we have tried everything on the planet, from actinovate, alliette, bleach, pool shock and the lists goes on forever.
Our local growers have been plagued by this for over 2 yrs and has wiped out many grows and retired a few!
I had some success with the hth pool shock but the calcium base literally does as much damage as the disease by day 30 flower.
I had minimal success with DM zone, it would keep the disease at bay for a few weeks but not eradicate it completely, by 3 weeks flower the disease would over take and thats that.
Our problem is every time you top up the res or feed the plants you keep introducing the disease.
I am currently trying Physan, it has only been a few days. It will be hard to evaluate its potential because the plants i am trying the physan on were in a loosing battle with the pool shock treatment. hopefully i will get some results in a few days, new growth, root development etc..
I have searched endlessly for 2yrs. I have found MANY threads and forums with hints of winning this battle, but NOTHING that has prevailed--- YET!
I also recently researched hydro-fungicide, but i believe that to be a sham like many others. they offer no insight on what it actually is. I believe if the advertising were true they would be the hottest selling product in our industry.
If anyone has any sound advice or strategy that pertains to this EVER growing problem in our communities i would LOVE to hear them in detail PLEASE!!![/FONT]
