Oh, and in order to get my 50th post, I forgot to mention that I run a organic hydro system.

i hear ya. on your next nute change you could use sm90 if you still have root issues.
BUT I DONT KNOW IF ITS ORGANIC!! i understand the organic issue (live in a very progressive community that is all about organic cultivations, buds and otherwise), so if anyone knows PLEASE chime in. OMRI certification might be on the label, but im not at the grow to check it.
you just add it 2-5ml per gallon per week. i use gallon jugs to top off my dwc, so i just dillute a mix in those. i used a stronger formula when i first started using it. but this stuff is badass, as long as you give it time to work (ex: a slow drinking plant doesnt need as much, i just mix it in the top off to keep the ratio the same), it will take control and you can move to a lower strength solution.
it killed off root rot in clones, full blown mothers, and plants in between. i did a lot of experimenting on my first grow, and this stuff saved some of my mistakes. i owe the rest to hydroguard.
good luck man, just tweak your setup with the additives everyone is discussing here and you will be fine. good thread btw.

great information......
I just started hydro from soil, I read in the thread, that some plants were slowing down, possible root rot, and what to use to recover.
My question is how do you know if you have root rot? I keep getting my seedlings to a certain point and then they just stop or really slow down, is this root rot?

I bought a worm factory off of ebay and compost all my food in it. It works great and i make a worm tea with the liquid that drains off the "worm factory" i add a couple ounces of mollases, 20ml of age old kelp, 12oz of worm juice, and let it bubble with 8gals of water and some heat for 1-3 days... It is INSANE, the amount of foam i get off the bubbler. The bloom from the beneficial bacteria has never made my roots so healthy.... I use it in my cloner too. Keeps the slime from starting. One of the best secrets in organic farming IMHO.
I feel like the aerobic bacteria that blooms in this tea, does the same thing as hydroguard, only it is more active IMHO; because its not bottled like HG. I've added this stuff to 4x4 tables that had tons of leaves in them and unstable ph's..... ive also added it to resevoirs w/ slimy roots and watched it compost the slime and dead roots while protecting the healthy ones. It fights off anything anaerobic and overtakes it with aerobic growth as long as you dont starve it of oxygen. Ive seen really amazing results on everything ive used it on. Specificly in root health alone.

just caught wind from my local shop that hydroguard is being taken off the market - not sure if its for good or just temporary. said they got a email from their distributor concerning it.
..something about the labeling talking about being a biological water treatment solution. Maybe they're going to reword the labels and bring it back. ??
just what I heard.

More concentrated and cheaper to use as well.
