Can someone please Help me with it???
 
Looks like you have some of the formula.

The guy mixes 1g to 1 gallon for his solution.

Then uses 5ml/gallon of this solution to the reservoir.

150ml/30gallons

Enjoy and good luck.

Your water does look cloudy. Interesting.

I read somehwer that the PPM of Solution with pool shock has to 1-2ppm my Osmosis are 0,005 after i add from my 1g 1liter Pool Shock solution 0,5ml/l so my Reservoir has 20 Liter i add 10ml of Pool Shock but the PPM doesn't change after i have added.. So have add more to get 0,006 ore 0,007?
 
To be quite honest, if you can measure 1-2 or even 3 ppm with a pen.

Your spending to much time.

I bought a gallon of water, weighed a gram up and dumped it in.

Shook the hell out of it.

Measured out 5ml for every gallon and slowly added to my reservoir.

Simple as that.
 
I using this Formular and surprising this Formular bring the PPM Up from 0,005 to 0,006 that's the 1ppm what i read bevore so here his Formular its 1ml/l of my solution maybe litte mit more

I've been doing this for almost a year now and it works great.

As the OP stated mix 1 gram of shock with 1 gal of tap or distilled water to make your solution, store in a dark & airtight container. I fill the old Clear Rez bottle with some of it and leave the rest in a gallon tupperware thing with an old shirt wrapped around it to keep the light out. I add about 50ml of that solution to my 2.5 gal rez every 4 days or so. Don't overdo it, it can kill the emerging roots. I have 2 cloners and the gallon mixture lasts months. I also used to fight slime, etc constantly, now I never see anything like that and I've gone as long as 45 days without changing the res water.

Super cheap and super effective.
 
Nice reservoir, how many gallons is it? Has this continued to work for you? I am about to try this. My reservoir going bad fast.


Yeah it works wonders using this recipe and can tell you what you have to mix.

I do 1g Pool Shock in 1l RO Water and using 50-100ml every 4-5 Day's it kepps the PPM to 0,5-1 my water never fail i use my 45 liter Tank for the complete grow without clean it ;)
