Sorry i just now saw this thread. Very expensive stuff but the BEST I'm told for treating root rot.
How did it work for you?
Hey Stinky! That thread makes sense. I was dealing with an environment that was way too warm at night (85 to 90 degrees for 3-4 days in a row) and compounded that with poor aeration. Luckily I only ordered a small bottle of Physan 20 and I will only use it to clean my grow area and with a super light mixture. Currently I have 6 CFLs in my homebox and it is a cool 70 degrees. I should be getting my subculture Monday. My seedlings are healthy and no algae or mold to speak of (I will keep my fingers crossed!).
It seems common for people to overdue it in trying to fix a plant problem, but all seems to work out if those basics all of you stress as important are taken care of.
Thank you for the quick responses everyone!
it worked great!! i did the original flush as stated above, 2days later i changed out the res again, added the same chem mix, and changed out res to a flora-kleen solution for final flush 2 days after that. initially when i used the RE, the roots looked feathery and water was cloudy. one day after first dose of RE the roots and water cleaned up considerably. after second dose, visually everything looked 90% better, so i flushed to finish my crop. i think in the future, RE will be going in my mix every time as a prventative. i used the RE 1ml/gallon. as a preventataive measure i think i'll use 1/2ml/gallon.hope this helps everyone fight/prevent the 'root snot monster' Brown Algae. still don't know exactly what caused this stuff, i have a clean grow, no light to res, temps r little warm but not much. i can honestly say that Roots Excelurator is an awesome product, and is worth every penny.:thumbsup:Quote:

hey Happy Camper
Are you talkin about the Roots Excelurator from VAN DE ZWAAN (in the aluminum cannister) if so, I too use this product, expensive as hell but worth every penny...
I used their hydro line and feeding shedule for my first try at hydro with excellent results, in a far less than perfect environment. while the plants I had in soil without the Van de ZWan/house and garden line didn't manage as well as the the ones with. You can find their recomendations on the roots exceluator and other products on thier website...
They recomend using 1.1ml per gal. of water through veg and 3 weeks into flowering on their feeding schedule...check it out on their website it's cool you just type in your reservoir size in gallons and each of the products change for your your specific grow...
And if you haven't yet found their product called SHOOTING POWDER I'd suggest you all find it, buy it, try it, and you'll love it...
just my 2 honest Abe's

Have you heard of ORGANICS XL from the ROOTS ORGANICS line from AURORA INNOVATIONS. I started a thread on it but don't think anybody's seen it. I tried this product with my last grow and I won't do another without it. it's a beneficial bacteria for the roots and DAMN do they explode... I would also like to try their nut's for hydro too ...
Just wondering if you or any of the others have tried this stuff.
Sorry don't mean to threadjack
D:S5:
don't worry about the threadjacking stuff, i've been waiting for someone to know something about this and respond. does this stuff from aurora inov. work as good as the RE? cuz if it works as well as RE, that shits gotta b the bomb-diggity!!! if you wouldn't mind, a link 0r just tell of your experiences.:Di see your in cali., do you get it local or online or something?? i'm in OC near knott's berry farm. thanks for the info and finally someones got info on these!!!:thumbsup:
Wus up HC
I haven't tried anything but ORGANISM XL from AURORA INNOV. it's a blend of 6 endo/ecto mycorrhizae species, 2 trichoderma, 13 strains of beneficial bacteria upon other stuff... I buy it locally in nor cal 530... The owner of the hydro store I buy from say's to use the ORGANISM XL and the RE together... Which I did with explosive results... But I have to give it to the nutrients I used which was the HOUSE AND GARDEN line from the makers of ROOTS EXCELURATOR... I followed the feeding schedule on their website... Thats shit is great, exspensive as hell but great...
The guy at the hydro store uses it and swaers by it, he sold me on it, with no regrets from me... He has a buddy that grows and has been using the RE for awhile and he just switched to the ORG. XL and he say's he's not going back, same results far less price. So now I'm looking into their product line for hydro nutients... you can find them both online or check locally. I'm sure there is a place in your neck of the hood that will carry them... I was born in Anaheim what a cowinky-dink
