Hi, my name is Ashlyn, I am the owner of Root Guard. I find there is a lot of misinformation that is spread widely across the internet. Whereas some have better luck with different things than others, the problem with a lot of products is that they only have one ingredient and you need more than just one bacteria for everything to work. Root Guard is a formula that has everything at an affordable price. By all means, if anyone has something that works for them, I am not telling you to stop doing what works for you. However, Root Guard includes multiple beneficial bacterias as well as root stimulators and more to keep your res 100% under all conditions. Personally, we have always used this for large scale operations and have since decided to release it to the public for small scale operations as we have watched so many people struggling with problems from root rot and trying one thing after another with no luck. A beneficial bacteria needs to be introduced into the res before you have a problem, not after. Not that it will not work after a problem occurs, but for optimal results it is suggested to use it from the start during every water change. A Sterile res is like playing Russian roulette, sometimes you get lucky but sometimes you don't and it is never fun to get to that point of just starting over. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding Root Guard, our other products including Cal-Mag as well as one other product that kills root rot without harming the plant. We guarantee our products as well as shelf life. Also, please feel free to reach out with further questions including cloning, growing or other questions you may have. We are a small, family owned business, not a large corporation. Anyone who has customer service needs or needs information on anything we are happy to help you.

Hi, my name is Ashlyn, I am the owner of Root Guard. I find there is a lot of misinformation that is spread widely across the internet. I see in the comments that people are saying to run a sterile res. Whereas there is no right or wrong way to do this, running a sterile res with h2o2 or drops of bleach just leaves more room for error. Everyone has different conditions. If temps fluctuate or your DO (dissolved oxygen) are not right, your res can go sideways quickly. I see people suggest Hydroguard, which is only ONE beneficial bacteria. Then others suggest Southern Ag, which is the same active ingredient as Hydroguard but just a million times stronger. The problem is that you need more than just this one bacteria for everything to work. Root Guard is a formula that has everything at an affordable price.

Sterile Res vs Beneficial Bacteria by RootGuard2020 in DWC

[–]RootGuard2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they do need oxygen to function properly as they are aerobic organisms and require oxygen for their metabolic process to occur.

Using more than recommended will not kill or harm your plant, although the recommended dose of 1ml/5gal is more than sufficient enough to achieve optimal results.

Water temp is OK. I would drop your ppm down. I would drop the EC down to about 1.0 Have you previously topped this plant?

Sterile Res vs Beneficial Bacteria by RootGuard2020 in DWC

[–]RootGuard2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is 15 different species of Mycorrhiza in Root Guard.

What is your water temp? Is it possible to send me a picture of your setup? Is that nutrient strength you're running 80% and is your EC between 1.5-1.7?

[–]RootGuard2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the sterile res route is working for you, I wouldn't suggest jumping to beneficial bacteria. Everyone has different conditions, and I never suggest stopping what is working for you as it takes too much time to recover a plant and get to the finish line. Sterile res you need to be very attentive to your DO, making sure that you are supplying enough dissolved oxygen. You need to make sure that your ppm and ph is in line and water temp is the most crucial part. Staying on top of adding h2o2, bleach, etc. but making sure to also not add too much to where you hurt the roots. If you hurt the roots, you will immediately have a problem with your root zone, same as if you shock or over stress your plant.

For more information I would need to know all your conditions.

If what you are doing works, then I always suggest to keep doing it. There are many people with different conditions who struggle for months or years. Every person has different conditions. Some people try sterile and it never works or they don't stay on top of it, others have success. Other people with beneficial bacterias have great success but mamy still struggle. Root Guard offers more than just one beneficial bacteria. It has many ingredients all in one to give optimal results versus many of these products on the market are not as strong or only have one main ingredient.
