Q: Which is more effective as a preventative measure for hydroponic systems: FloraMax Pythoff PLUS or FloraMax System Maintenance?

A: FloraMax Pythoff PLUS is more powerful than System Maintenance and is therefore the recommended preventative measure for hydroponic systems. However, if beneficial bacteria are deemed critical, then FloraMax System Maintenance should be used.

Q: How do you cure root browning?

A: To cure root browning, start with a system flush using Pythoff PLUS at 0.5ml/L. After flushing, prepare a fresh nutrient solution and add Pythoff PLUS at 0.5ml/L before adding other nutrients and additives. Depending on the system, re-dose the solution with Pythoff PLUS every 1-2 days (for recirculating systems) or every 3-4 days (for run-to-waste systems).

Q: What are the steps to prevent root browning?

A: To prevent root browning, employ Pythoff PLUS in a weekly system flush and in the nutrient solution. For best results, pre-dilute the Pythoff PLUS dose at least 50-fold with raw water before adding to the reservoir. If using beneficial bacteria, switch to Pythoff PLUS if root browning occurs.

Q: How do you dilute Pythoff PLUS 50-fold?

A: To achieve a 50-fold dilution of Pythoff PLUS, add 50ml of plain water for every 1ml of Pythoff PLUS. For a 100L reservoir, a 50ml Pythoff PLUS dose should be diluted with 2,500ml of water.

Q: What is the procedure for using Pythoff PLUS with auto-dosers?

A: Add Pythoff PLUS to a dedicated stock reservoir at 50ml/L in clean water, covering the reservoir to prevent light ingress. Replenish this solution monthly and set the doser to 1.0%. Ensure the doser is accurate, reliable, and compatible with the solution.

Q: What is the optimum dose rate for Pythoff PLUS?

A: The optimum dose rate for Pythoff PLUS depends on the condition of the nutrient system. For relatively clean systems, regular dose rates are optimal. If the system is very dirty, it might be viable to increase the dose by 50-100%. However, over-dosing can cause visible root burning.

Q: When should Pythoff PLUS be added to working nutrient solutions?

A: Pythoff PLUS should be added when the nutrient batch is first made, always before adding any nutrient or additives. Generally, the working nutrient should be re-dosed after 7 days. For dirty or contaminated systems, re-dosing may be needed more frequently.

Q: How does Pythoff PLUS compare with competing products?

A: Pythoff PLUS contains a de-scaler, is gentle on roots, stable in solution, standardized to a specific concentration with a shelf-stability of over 10 years, and is compatible with all FloraMax organic additives. Competing products are often unstable, which can lead to unreliable dosing.
