hygrozyme verus bleach?

[Marshall]

I run E&F tables with hydroton and have always used hygrozyme to deal with the leftover roots from previous grows. I pull the rootballs out, and what I can but dont go crazy. The hygrozyme seems to have done a good job in dealing with that.

But that stuff is expensive as hell. I was wondering if I should just switch to bleach to kill anything bad that comes from the decaying roots?

I am thinking about using hygrozyme in veg, and maybe the first couple weeks of flower to help root growth, then switch to bleach.

opinions?

the bleach will sterilize the dead root material but the dead plant material will still remain and could become a host to pythium etc once that bleach is gone.

there are a lot of enyzme products on the market, best bet would just be finding a cost effective alternative

what about using h202 with hygrozyme? i was told they were compatible because theres nothing alive in the hygrozyme but i wanted to make sure
