Great for hobbyists with hydroponics
I’m not a pro but use this product with 3D printed vertical tower gardens. If you are having issues with root rot or other root issues this will clean up a lot of problems and performs much better than using hydrogen peroxide or other chemicals that try to make the environment sterile. The price isn’t cheap but the performance warrants the cost and I’ve tried a lot of products in this space. Give it a try.

ITS THE BEST
Fastest acting root protectant I’ve use. Highly recommend you beginners. In any medium set up. Easy to use. Instructions very clear. Follow manufacturer instructions and you can’t go wrong.

This stuff is amazing!
My set up is a hybrid system of sorts and I have roots growing into my water bases. I noticed that they started getting dark and the water would turn cloudy fairly quick after water. I had someone recommend this to me and I’m glad he did! This stuff cleaned up the bases and my root system is pearly white.

Its a must
If you don't have a water chiller , this stuff is a life saver . Ever since I started using it , I never get root rot . My temps can range from 67-75 ( or more ) in the middle of summer ( I do chill the water with small ice bottles when I can ) . I don't use very much at all , like 2- 3 mils per 5 gallons . Lasts forever . Im a firm believer that once the bacteria is established in your roots , you don't need to use much so that being said when I first start off , I might use 1-2 mils per gal. but after say 2 weeks I tone it down a bit . Happy roots bring happy fruits .

Did not disappoint!
Glad I bought it. My roots resist all sorts of issues better since using this. I used to hit root rot every once in a while but not since using this. Not a bad price, doesn’t stink, works great, easy to mix, lasts long if you keep it out of light and sealed tight.

Plants love it
I watered all my plants with a small amount of this, and they love it

Good Product
I appreciate the product but they need a new bottling company. I bought CalMag and experienced the same bottle leakage as with this product. Shaking is impossible.

I’ll be honest, I’ve only been growing hydroponically for about 8 months. When I first started, I made rookie mistakes, like putting my jalapeño seedlings in plain water without nutrients, hoping they’d grow. Since then, I’ve learned a lot. I now understand how crucial root health is for happy plants. There are many factors at play: light exposure to the water, temperature, pH balance, system cleanliness, oxygen levels, dissolved oxygen, and more. But even when you manage all these factors perfectly, root rot can still creep in. I won’t claim to have tried every root health product out there, Hydroguard is the first one I’ve used, but I can confidently say this: since I started using it, the roots of all my newer pepper plants have been bright white, healthy, and thriving. There’s no bad odor in the water, just that faint, fresh pepper plant smell! The "beneficial bacteria" in Hydroguard work wonders, breaking down organic material and preventing rot from taking hold, as I understand it. My roots are longer, stronger, and fresh-looking, and they stay bright white. If my plants are happy, so am I. A few tips: Hydroguard won’t fix roots that already have rot... it’s a preventative, not a cure. Start using it early with seedlings, and you’ll see the magic happen. Highly recommend Hydroguard for anyone in hydroponics. It’s been a game-changer for me!

Hat mein hydroponisches System gerettet. Davor hatte ich extreme ph, Algen und Bakterien Problem in meinem System. 0.25ml pro Liter hydroguard später (und einer Reinigung mit Wasserstoff Peroxid + Abdichtung von Licht zuvor). Sind all meine Probleme weg und der ph wert stabil.

I didn’t expect much from this plant probiotic until I saw how much my seedlings had grown. This picture shows my five-week-old Bok Choy growing in my hydroponic system. I added a tablespoon of the solution in the third week when they were still very small. Now it looks like I’ll be able to harvest them soon, before they run out of space to grow. I just tried a few of the leaves, and they were extremely tasty.
