Hygrozyme and Root Rot !!!!!!!!

[Stinkster4Life]

Need a little info on a root rot prob I have been having. Plant got root rot early in her life as a seedling due to lack of oxygen and hot nute solution.
Now plant is getting what she needs.
Ph 5.8
Rez Temp 70F
E.C. 0.8 maybe 2 high?

Anyway started feeding Hygrozyme and noticed this clear slime that grows on the rottingpart of the roots. Now is this slime caused be hygrozyme or is this normal for root rot without hygrozyme. If it is the hygrozyme then what is the slimes purpose?
First time I noticed it was 2 days after feeding the hygrozyme.
I then changed rez,washed roots, disinfected everything trimed roots and refed my 4.5gal rez with 30ml hygrozyme and my nutes. This slime also covered (and Imean covered)theairstone at the bottom of the rez. The roots have started to grow the slime again. So I'm letting the slime grow.
Plant is growing now but by no means is it where it should be as far as age is cocerned. Heres a pic of the slime. Any info will help.

Thanks for the link VanGrow.

Well. After trimming off most of the brown roots and the clear slime it has taken 2 days for new root growth to emerge. The plant is still growing but im worried the new roots will be infected.
Should I continue trimming roots and sterilizing my equipment?
Is it a better idea to take clones and start over?
Will the new root growth overgrow the bad roots?
And what the hell is the slime?
I need more advice!

I have had slime like this in my last grow but it went away after a cleaning. This time it keeps coming back.

New pics coming soon!!!

Plant- NL/JH
ph 5.8
e.c. 0.8
res. temp. 71f
Just trimmed the roots again and saw a bit of white looking mold on the roots?
Trimmed it all off. Plant is growing fine but roots are rotting. How much h2o2 would I use in a 4.5 gallon rez? Would it even help or is hygrozyme all I need?
Adding 30ml to 4.5gal res. every change out. Roughly once a week.

SM-90 is another option to H2O2 but is more expensive. Hygrozyme will not kill off any bad bacteria as it is just an enzyme. You need H2O2 or SM-90.

Thats a great answer Redux.
Now how much H2O2 are we talking about per gallon?
This root rot crap really sucks.

i use the sm-90 and have had great results...plus it kindy makes your entire solution smell good...

Ok, so I need to make a trip to the hydro shop. I will update with pics once I get my sm-90 to show results before and after.
Thanks for now you have all been great help.

Oh yeah, my first question was what causes the slime that was on my roots?
I have been searching through endless post and have come across a few others who have had the same slime, but no answer on what it is. I would really like to find out. I'm guessing it is related to the rot. Could be the enzymes in hygrozyme binding to the roots to breakdown dead roots. Whatever it is it likes oxygen. My airstone was covered in it.
Before and afters coming soon.

Did you find out what it was? How did it work out? I have a similar problem cos I added Hygrozrme.
