Wilt Guard does two jobs at once — it strengthens your plant's defences and attacks pythium spores directly. One we recommend a lot, especially for growers who've had root rot problems before or who run systems where pythium risk is high.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCX Horticulture Wilt Guard is a \u003cstrong\u003epotassium-based nutrient additive\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to prevent and treat pythium and other root zone diseases across all growing systems. Unlike surface coatings or topical treatments, Wilt Guard works systemically — it boosts your plant's natural immunity while simultaneously weakening pathogen cell walls. Add it to your reservoir or nutrient mix at 1ml per litre and you're covered from veg right through to the end of flowering. It's particularly valuable during flowering, when plants are naturally more vulnerable and can least afford to fight disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilt Guard sits in a specialist category — not a general tonic, not a topical spray, but a \u003cstrong\u003esystemic root immunity additive\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks internally through potassium uptake, not as an external coating like anti-transpirants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-action: stimulates plant defences AND attacks pythium spores directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all nutrient lines and growing media types — hydro, coco, soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreventative when used regularly; curative if you spot pythium early\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynergises with root recovery products like Regen-A-Root for serious protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is insurance that actually pays out.

This is the most effective way to use it — you're keeping pythium out before it arrives. Works right from early veg through to the final flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuring Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is when Wilt Guard earns its place. Flowering plants are stressed and more susceptible to disease. Running Wilt Guard at this stage keeps your root zone clean so your plants can focus energy on productivity, not fighting infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment (Early Response)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you spot wilting or suspect pythium, add Wilt Guard immediately at the standard 1ml\/L rate. The sooner you dose, the better the results. For serious root damage, combine with Regen-A-Root to restore root health alongside disease suppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorks in hydroponic systems (DWC, NFT, drip), coco-based setups, and soil growing.

It's not expensive, it's genuinely effective at two different things simultaneously, and it works across any system. The fact that it's preventative means you're using it as insurance — which is exactly how you should think about pythium protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running anything hydroponic or concerned about root disease in general, worth picking up while stock lasts. Does the job properly, works with everything else, and gives you peace of mind during the stages when your plants can least afford problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"CX HORTICULTURE","offers":[{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":47916347228330,"sku":"84042","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 Litre","offer_id":47916347261098,"sku":"84043","price":131.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/5540\/5400\/files\/wilt_guard_group_shot.jpg?v=1769191898","url":"https:\/\/growershouse.co.uk\/products\/cx-horticulture-wilt-guard","provider":"Growers House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
