What would you say is better dude? Would you say pool shock is better then using h2o2 in my res? I was taking a look at this old post and it says I can make up $2000 worth for $4 https://www.rollitup.org/t/make-2200-worth-of-clear-rez-for-4.423650/ on page 4 they go on to say that they make a solution and use 1gram of HTH pool shock to 1 gallon of water and then add 5ml of that solution per gallon into the res

Only in America lol
We get humped with prices in the UK.

Still we can buy kg of chlorine granules for around £15 that would be my 1st choice for my reservior, afaik chlorine is more stable than H202 but it does break down overtime and needs refreshing like H202 does.

Just one 5g chlorine tablet is enough for 2500ltr at 5ppm so it's much more economical.

Granular chlorine has little effect on the pH level of the water. These stabilised chlorine granules are ideal for regular dosing of your swimming pool or spa, to produce free active chlorine which kills bacteria and other potentially harmful organisms.

Yeah you are right lol the UK has been getting super expensive lately. How much would be needed for a 100 liter reservior then if a 5g tablet is enough for 2500 liters? I'm guessing 0.2 grams of pool shock per 100 liters if my calculations are right? lol I could always make a stock solution up but I don't know the math of it all. The last thing I want to do is put too much in my res and kill my plants lol

Well guys this thread will be 15 years old in a month. Fair fucks to you all for keeping it going. Whats everyone got going atm? for me, I am trying some shark shock from Mr nice seeds. Tts my first MNS strain so I am looking forward to it!

Nice to see you to see you nice!

I've got some random stuff going..

Keylime banana pie
Galaxy, which is a northern lights cross
Mimosa
Gelato
Strawberry Gelato
Blue cheese
Mocha banana pie
Zookies

Everything's vegging while recovering from a bad dose of thrips.

Most of these are freebies.

Flowering with LED but still vegging mostly with MH.

 

[coreywebster]

Harvest time tomorrow let’s go boysssss!(z33)

I'd give em another week or two myself.

What's the blue cheese like ? Not seen any of that floating around for a while nearly died out around south wales still cheese but it's never proper cheese or anything reminiscent of it

Yeah bud you make a stock solution with it, it's very difficult to measure 4/5 ppm but relatively easy to measure 500 ppm then dilute it 100x to get 4/5 ppm.

15 years, seems like yesterday, I remember the day you started the thread lol. I'm still on 4x 600hps, price I'm paying for electricity is frigging scandalous. I may change to led if I can save enough to buy a few belters. Hope life has been good to you brother. Evening Men.

Aye still on hps myself your not kidding about the price tho bloody energy companies there the real crooks anyway 15 years is a blink true but it is a fair bit for a thread to be still going tho kudos to @lozac123 for starting it years back

I'm just super confused man because my tap water is about 200 or 300pm and I'm not sure if I should be using RO water to make the stock solution or if I should add it to my tap water and add 500ppm of pool shock ontop of the tap water ppm or what lol I'm super confused and I am high which only makes things harder to understand lol and then how would I know if I've added 5 ppm to my res because I have an EC pen and it doesn't read in ppm it only reads in EC

I'll let you know.
A mate gave me a cut of it that he's had going for years. But I've not tried it yet.

I used to run one about 8 year ago for a few years and that was one of my favourite strains.
Think it was the barney's farm BC I had back then.

Does barneys still stock it from the original parents I wonder ? You could probably find something decent if they do

 

[bazoomer]

When I think back to what I've done and been threw in 15 years, I wouldn't have imagined it. Majority of it shite I might add, I miss the early days with Sambo and Zed and MG, all are good blokes, always looked after me.

Day 40 chill autos u running out room

You're tap water is only 2/3 ppm of chlorine and a mixture of calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc etc making up the total 200/300ppm.

I can't find the chlorine mixing instructions but I'll post them when i do.

Ec/ppm meters don't measure chlorine ppm, to measure chlorine ppm you need a specific chlorine test meter.

Thanks dude, I never knew that. I guess I will need to invest into a chlorine test meter. I never knew they existed to be fair.
I think to start with I will follow what you originally said and use 1 or 2ml of h2o2 per liter of res water and see how I get on with that

There's no need to go buying a chlorine test meter.
The instructions for mixing up a chlorine stock solution are straightforward and well tried and tested.

If the ppm is that important buy tablets instead but remember to check there's guidelines for ppm/ltr, I'd be curious about the cost of a chlorine test meter I don't expect they'd be cheap?

 

[Leeski]

Super excited to get these going !

 

[Star Dog]

I got a replacement pk of coastal blueberry I'm looking forward to getting them going, I'm sick about missing this turn with them but that's life.

I've one coastal blueberry from the last lot so I'm begging it to be a female.

Blockbuster, lost skunk, coco kush, northern lights and a grape fog cross.
