Pythium/Fusarium is not the same as Cyanobacteria (slime-snot covered stems and ends) Find out how I learned what this is and what to do

No of course the H202 didn’t CAUSE solely, but in conjunction FEEDS and ACCELERATED growth once present, so perhaps that’s a factor to be considered. I think any kind of nutrient feed present in the water combined w any leaks light can get through does activate. BBP told me hypochlorous acid is used in as a root canal disinfectant, so I’m running nothing but that for the next week after a brief Physan 20 rinse cycle. Once I can’t smell chlorine, I’m adding the bennies… It’s very clear to me adding concoctions of nutes as normal when I start cuts isn’t the right way to prevent what’s happening. It’s definitely something to do w initial water quality, though I wasn’t growing last year summer so I don’t know if I can factor seasonal change. One factor that does seem to connect is chlorine concentration reading about one grower testing two sources of water where they were growing at, and the previous one being higher ppm chlorine than his current location.
