What It Is Used For

It sterilizes the hydroponic system whilst managing to treat and prevent root rot. It is able to sterilise all surfaces including drip lines, pumps, tanks and media. This is a particularly potent product for treating and preventing Pythium.

How It Works

It can kill parasitic organisms, diseases and fungi that lead to root rot. A regular use of Pythoff will stave off root rot from entering your system. It can also take care of your plants in a system that has a root rot infection. When used as directed Flairform Pythoff can sterilise all surfaces that it comes into contact with, a powerful sterilising agent for hydroponic systems.

How To Use Flairform Pythoff

While Flairform Pythoff is designed for use in hydroponic systems it is not suitable for soil-mix, wood-chip or coco-peat substrates. Doing so will kill beneficial microbes within them. Flairform Pythoff should be applied at a dosage of 0.2ml/L. Apply to the reservoir slowly over 30 seconds while stirring the nutrient solution. The pump requires running immediately for 15 minutes to sterilise the system. If using organic additives, use Pythoff 20 minutes before adding them to the reservoir. The system requires re-dosing every 7 days. If treating an ongoing infection, stop all organic additives and use Flairform Pythoff every day until the infection has cleared.

FAQs

What does Pythoff do?

Flairform Pythoff is a specialized solution designed to prevent and control pythium and other water-borne pathogens in hydroponic systems and soil. It works by creating an unfavorable environment for these harmful organisms, promoting healthier root development and overall plant growth. Pythoff helps maintain a clean, pathogen-free growing environment without harming beneficial microorganisms essential for plant health.

How to use Pythoff?

To use Flairform Pythoff, add it to your nutrient solution or irrigation water according to the label instructions. For hydroponic systems, add it directly to the reservoir. In soil applications, mix with water and apply as a soil drench. Use preventatively every 7-14 days or at the first signs of root issues. Always shake well before use and ensure even distribution throughout your system.

Is Pythoff safe for all plants?

Flairform Pythoff is safe for use with most plant types when used as directed. It's specially formulated to target pathogenic organisms without harming plant roots or beneficial microbes. However, always start with the recommended dosage and observe your plants for any adverse reactions. It's particularly beneficial for plants prone to root diseases in hydroponic or high-moisture environments.

Can I use Pythoff in organic gardening?

While Flairform Pythoff is not certified organic, it's formulated to be compatible with organic growing practices. It doesn't contain harsh chemicals that might compromise organic integrity. However, if you're following strict organic certification standards, consult with your certifying body before use. Many organic growers use Pythoff as part of their preventive care routine.

How often should I apply Pythoff?

Apply Flairform Pythoff every 7-14 days as a preventive measure in hydroponic systems or high-risk environments. For soil applications, use every 2-4 weeks or at the first sign of root issues. In cases of active pythium infestations, you may need to apply more frequently. Always follow the product label for specific dosage and frequency recommendations based on your growing system.

Can Pythoff cure existing root rot?

Flairform Pythoff is primarily a preventive treatment, but it can help manage early-stage root issues. For best results, apply at the first signs of root problems. While it may not cure advanced cases of root rot, regular use of Pythoff can significantly improve root health and plant recovery if caught early. Combine with proper cultural practices for optimal root health.

Is Pythoff compatible with beneficial microbes?

Yes, Flairform Pythoff is designed to be compatible with beneficial microorganisms. It targets pathogenic organisms while preserving the beneficial microbial population in your growing environment. This selective action helps maintain a healthy balance in your root zone. However, always introduce new products gradually and monitor your system's overall microbial health.

How long does Pythoff remain active?

Flairform Pythoff remains active in your system for about 7-14 days, depending on environmental conditions and the specific pathogens present. Factors such as temperature, pH, and organic matter content can influence its longevity. For continuous protection, regular application as per the product instructions is recommended, especially in high-risk environments.

Can I use Pythoff in all growing mediums?

Flairform Pythoff can be used in various growing mediums, including hydroponic systems, coco coir, rockwool, and soil. Its versatility makes it suitable for different cultivation methods. However, always adjust the application rate based on your specific growing medium and system. For soil applications, ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Will Pythoff affect nutrient uptake?

Flairform Pythoff is formulated to have minimal impact on nutrient uptake when used as directed. By promoting healthier roots and preventing pathogen growth, it can actually improve overall nutrient absorption. However, always maintain proper pH and EC levels in your nutrient solution, as these factors significantly influence nutrient availability and uptake.
