Ok here's a question I'm sure has had to be answered. I'm starting another Round of DWC grow. I usually use sterile with how test H2O2. What about vegging using H2O2 and then switching out res at switch to flower ( when plants are strong and healthy) using things like recharge,orca, piranha, hygrozyme, sensizyme, voodoo, whatever builder for micro organisms to come out and cut out the h202 ? Would that be a possibility ?

I ran a GH waterfarm that way once but not intentionally. Ran sterile through most of veg but I just couldn't keep my water temps quite where they needed to be and started to have root issues. It was recommended to me to switch over to beneficial. Changed out the res and used a combo of Great White and some other bacterial that's name is escaping me. For what it's worth it ended up being a great run even though the switch was made out of necessity rather than by design. Perhaps somebody who has tried this on purpose will chime in with more knowledge to drop. Good luck!
I appreciate your answer even though it if necessity. Sometimes that is all we are doing anyway..(trial and ereor) knowledge just makes it a little calculated. My thoughts are(or fear) is that bennies are so important but they leave the. Roots discolored and at risk of pithium or other root rot. I know sterile is less of a risk but may also lack flavor but that's why waiting until the plants are larger and happier and stronger I think they will be better equipped to handle whatever risk they take. I love recharge and have used hygrozyme, voo do, and want to use mammoth p, orca, all of these products are no good in sterile res
