HydroRush is a formulation of an inorganic aqueous salt solution (non-sodium).

HydroRush provides a readily available food source for microbes (bacteria) that are highly beneficial for digesting waste that increases the conversion of anaerobic by-products (i.e. sludge) to a beneficial food source for microbes

NO. HydroRush is a food source for microbes (bacteria). Microbes are beneficial for your plant-growing environment as long as these beneficial bacteria have enough food sources. The healthy growth of beneficial microbes will generally out compete anaerobic, or bad bacteria.

This is a result of the abundance of anaerobic bacteria because there is lack of oxygen in the environment and lack of a proper supply of microbial food sources.

Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) at high rates is a good bactericide. It is also lethal to ALL bacteria and other organisms. So, using H₂O₂ as a disinfectant works well.

H₂O₂ at low doses can be effective and has been used to provide 0₂ to the growing environment, but it does not provide a food source for beneficial microbes that allows them to multiply and proliferate.

Through a process called Anoxic Respiration, HydroRush acts as a Bio Stimulant that Hyper-Accelerates the activity of abundant beneficial microbes that are available in your growing environment that in turn provides beneficial Oxygen to the root zone.

HydroRush is pH neutral so no significant pH change should be observed. This will depend on other materials you are using but in most cases there will be no change in pH levels.

HydroRush will initially elevate your ppm, but at recommended doses in combination with normal ppm of nutrient solutions we have tested have only produced beneficial results in plants.

To start, we suggest you use HydroRush with mid range ppm rates of nutrients rather than highest levels or over-the-top levels. HydroRush will enhance the plant’s uptake of nutrients and will increase the presence of beneficial aerobic microbes (bacteria).

Generally, positive root effect and plant growth can be seen within 1 week of use.

For normal systems that are already clean, we suggest usage in combination with your nutrient use every 7-14 days.

If you have a dirty system (muddy, murky, anaerobic), we recommend use every 7 days until conditions improve.

We recommend NOT to use HydroRush in your system past the first week of Bloom.

Because HydroRush increases the uptake and efficiency of all plant nutrients, Nitrogen (N) in fertilizers will then be very prevalent.

For some gardeners the “active” uptake of Nitrogen is not desirable during this growing period and could be detrimental to your desired results.

No. Root rot diseases grow primarily in anaerobic conditions. The use of HydroRush shifts the growing environment to favorable aerobic conditions. As a result, root rot disease is minimized or prevented.

Yes, adding air (O₂) to the water system is beneficial and should not be changed if you are already doing so. We recommend that you additionally use HydroRush to promote Oxygen in your root zone.

There are no plant nutrients in HydroRush. Our formulation provides food for and promotes the proliferation of the microbes that already exist in your growing solutions.

Yes. In soil or media growing environments, the use rate of HydroRush is slightly higher (see label instructions).

We have also observed that in soil and media environments it’s common to see the root zone become compact and not have good aeration for root growth.

This is a great environment for HydroRush to show positive results.

By stimulating good bacteria growth, better nutrient utilization can occur and therefore, better plant growth.

HydroRush has approximately a 2x safety factor before any serious plant damage has been seen. To be safe, we recommend you drain your nutrient reservoir and start over as soon as you observe this happening by adding the correct amount of HydroRush.

Symptoms of HydroRush overdose are the same as excess nutrient use by the plant. Usually seen as leaf margin burn.

The first sign of any nutrient overdose is caused by the most soluble nutrient Nitrogen (N), that in excess can cause leave margin / tip burn within a few days.

HydroRush has a long shelf life. Once you open a bottle and use some, secure the cap tightly between uses. It is best to use HydroRush within 6 months of first opening bottle.

Yes, but your nutrient solution would best be used within 30 days.

Yes. We have received great feedback from gardeners doing this. HydroRush in a brewing system will help keep aerobic bacteria alive and more active, thus minimizing anaerobic conditions that lead to the “rank” effect and subsequent smell of rotten eggs (H₂S).
