Why Silver Bullet Mist and Roots Outperform Standard Hydrogen Peroxide
Silver Bullet 'Mist' and 'Roots' are cutting-edge solutions brought to you by the creators of Shogun Fertilisers, and they’ve already gained a stellar reputation among growers. These products offer unmatched cleaning, disinfecting, and pathogen-preventing capabilities. Silver Bullet Mist is perfect for tackling biofilms, mould, and bacteria on walls, equipment, and other surfaces in your grow space. Silver Bullet Roots, on the other hand, is specifically designed to protect your root zones by keeping them pathogen-free, preventing issues like root rot and promoting healthier plant growth.
The big question is, what makes Silver Bullet so much better than traditional hydrogen peroxide products, like Liquid Oxygen?
For years, hydrogen peroxide has been widely use d to clean grow rooms between cycles and keep root zones free from infections. However, standard hydrogen peroxide products have a significant limitation - they’re highly unstable. Once a bottle of hydrogen peroxide is opened, exposure to air causes it to degrade into water and oxygen, losing its effectiveness quickly. This instability makes regular hydrogen peroxide a short-lived solution, meaning growers need to frequently reapply it to maintain its effectiveness.
Silver Bullet takes this concept to a whole new level. By binding hydrogen peroxide molecules to silver through a specialised chemical process, the product becomes significantly more stable and long-lasting. This combination allows Silver Bullet to stay potent for weeks after being added to a tank - around five weeks, to be precise - and ensures a much longer shelf life compared to traditional hydrogen peroxide solutions.
So, how does hydrogen peroxide actually work? Its chemical formula, H2O2, features a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom attached. This extra oxygen atom is only loosely bound, so the molecule readily releases it when it comes into contact with bacteria, spores, or other organic material. This process, known as oxidation, damages and destroys the cell walls of harmful organisms, leading to their death. Once the oxygen atom is released, the hydrogen peroxide molecule reverts to a simple water molecule.
However, not all bacteria are defenceless against hydrogen peroxide. Some species produce an enzyme called catalase, which neutralises hydrogen peroxide before it can cause any damage. This makes standard hydrogen peroxide less effective against these types of bacteria.
Silver Bullet’s game-changing innovation lies in how it combines silver with hydrogen peroxide, enhancing its effectiveness in several ways:
- Silver stabilises the hydrogen peroxide, activating it only in the presence of organic material like bacteria, mould, or spores. This prevents unnecessary breakdown and waste.
- Silver prevents bacteria from neutralising the hydrogen peroxide with catalase, allowing it to remain active and effective against even resistant strains.
- The combination creates a much more energetic oxidation reaction, causing greater damage to pathogens, biofilms, and other harmful substances.
- After the spare oxygen atom has done its job, the silver reattaches it to the hydrogen peroxide molecule, preventing it from breaking down into water. This ensures that the molecule remains active and ready to neutralise additional pathogens.
Thanks to these enhancements, Silver Bullet products are up to 20 times more effective than standard hydrogen peroxide. This revolutionary stability and efficiency make Silver Bullet Mist and Roots the ultimate solutions for growers who want to keep their grow spaces and root zones in peak condition.
Silver Bullet Mist is ideal for sanitising surfaces and equipment, while Silver Bullet Roots offers long-lasting protection against pathogens in the root zone, ensuring your plants remain healthy and thriving.
By switching to Silver Bullet, you’re not just upgrading your grow setup - you’re revolutionising the way you disinfect, protect, and maintain your plants.
