Hey all,
I added Purple Maxx and nutes to my dwc about 3-4 days ago. After about a day and a half I noticed incredible top growth and new roots.
On the directions it cautions against using Purple Maxx in set ups that use an aerator because of bacterial growth. I was planning on adding the Purp Maxx a couple days before a res change but I cant swap the res out now (the plants too big and I am lst'ing it.
But i am still worried about this bacteria problem and how to diagnose a problem like that. I have read that some people have used H2O2 to combat this problem when using Purp Maxx (but at what dose). And using H2O2 kinda confuses me because, if an air stone or aerator can cause bacterial growth (in conjunction with Purp Maxx) wont H2O2 do the same thing, as it add O2 to the res?
So the answers i am looking for are...
What are physical signs of this bad bacteria that I would notice on my plant? (most of the canopy is healthy are green - may be 2 leaves have very small spotting on the bottom of the leaves only).
How much H2O2 should i add per gallon of water (if that is going to be beneficial)?
