Probably calcium chloride, calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide left from manufacturing. Mine is about 60-70% pure. Best of luck!

I don't grow hydro, but this is good info. I come in here and absorb knowledge from you guys sometimes. I actually have that shit that I used for my hot tub occasionally. But since my water has Ca already bleach was a better option for my spa. I also used muriatic acid to lower the pH, but that probably wouldn't go well if you fed that to a plant, lol.

So it's fine to throw 25-30% of unknown ingredients in the rez?

The point of using this is to keep things sanitary, correct?

What is the benefit of this over just leaning into the bacteria and making sure you have your bennies in balance?

Did you actually read my post?
 
When I was doing flood and drain and DWC I used around 4 - 5 ppm's of just plain old household bleach. Unscented of course. Kept everything clean and I never had some of the nasty root issues I see many having despite using expensive products. The small amount of sodium in sodium hypochlorite will have no negative effects on plants.

i read somewhere that the cheapest dollar store bleach is better to use than high price chlorox (something about it had less additivies?)

Probably.

The ingredients in Clorox bleach are water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium chlorate, sodium hydroxide and sodium polyacrylate.
 
Check your local chain stores around the end of July early August. I but HTC shock packs for less than a dollar. Use for the hot tub. But best price you'll ever find.

I never got an answer-if you have to reapply it every 3 days, why can you mix a gallon and use that as a concentrate. Once mixed won't it dissipate or whatever?

Store it in a sealed container. My concentrated solution sits for months on end, just give it a shake and apply. If it cannot offgas there's no issue.

The fear I have with direct application is that there's just no room for error. An scale slightly out of calibration can throw things off quickly. At least with the concentrate a few extra tenths of a gram doesn't affect it as drastically. Granted, I haven't seen any issues from "too much" yet so it's probably not even an issue -- just explaining my reasoning for using the stock solution vs direct application.
 
I always find and trim some kind of cup, spoon, vial to hold the exact amount I need, label it and forget it. But for tiny amounts (IE Epsom salt in a sugar wash) You pretty much have to use a scale. I do it multiple times and bag it for individual quick uses.
 
Hey all. Old thread I know.
Years ago I bought a couple 120 easy cloners, but couldn't get them working consistently.( I'm on a well). I'm super tired of peat pucks etc. And my clone game has shit the bed recently, so im going to give those cloners another run. I ordered some fresh collars and some HTH.
My question is what are you all using for ph adjustments when using HTH? My ph is 7.0 coming out of the tap so would like to down it abit.
I'm worried phosphoric acid will have an adverse reaction and absorbic will just neutralize the chlorine.
After years of hydro I'm 10 cycles into rols now, so I don't need to hear about the beneficials. I want the cloners sterile.
Thanks in advance!
 
I myself use 5.8 PH and give 2 ml in 1 1/2 gallons of micro and grow 2 ml voodoo juice or microbial mass. I check pH every second day as it will rise but straight up that’s how I do it in my super cloner. Have roots in 5-7 days depending on strain. My Gorilla Glue took 12-14 days but blueberry takes a week. 100% roots every time

I'm going to give the "Griffen Tech" a try prolly within a day or two. My clone game hasn't been real good bc of the environment and watering/misting plugs or rockwool.
 
Consult, here in Argentina all Chlorine Shock contains dichloro-s-triazine trione, none of them have calcium hypochlorite. Can I use this product or is it better to use leija?
