    Bleach instead of H2o2

    Yes, bleach is healthy. The FDA recommends using it to disinfect drinking water in some situations. Also you have to realize that just because bleach is put into the reservoir, does not mean that the bleach molecule remains intact inside the plant. In fact, bleach dissociates into Na+ and OCl-...

    I got ROT :(

    Don't waste your money on beneficial bacteria. They absolutely do work, but only under the right circumstances. It is a risk I am unwilling to take and a cost I am unwilling to incur.

    I got ROT :(

    Mixing a ton of pH up and pH down will result in an ever-increasing salt concentration and osmotic pressure in the root zone which will kill your plant in the same way putting it in a 4 thousand ppm solution will kill it. Use a stock solution of 6 to 10% bleach (sodium hypochlorite) at 1 to 1.5...

    Bleach instead of H2o2

    Some thoughts.... Chlorine is far more reactive than bromine Chlorine was used up by reacting with pathogens i.e. bacteria and fungi So I would say it is doing it's job.

    Root Slim? Brown Algae? N.Lights w/ *PICS* please advise! +Rep for All!

    I think it is important to note that when you check the MSDS of the bleach you are using when someone refers to bleach on this forum it is usually referring to an 8 or 9 % solution of stock sodium hypochlorite to water without any end-user dilution. The good news is that most ultra cheap...

    Need help with ventilation.

    Air goes in to the fan housing on one side and out the other of the fan housing on the other. Whether you use it as an exhaust fan or intake fan is up to you.

    might be a stupid question about water

    I completely disagree - I have a 20 dollar HM Digital Pen and it has given me consistent results when tested against water sources of known TDS. If you are worried about losing calibration buy some cheap ass calibration solution or make some yourself using salt and distilled water.

    HELP!!! Dying plants here, please help!!!

    Too much heat You claim to exchange air three times a day but offer no clue as to whether you utilize an air conditioner 400 watt HPS in a closed space will burn your plants to a crisp if you do not continuously exchange hot air for cold air unless you have the room the size of a warehouse

    Clones Recovering - Nutrient Deficiencies Present? [PICS]

    Wow that sucks. I've never heard of it actually being inside the plants for the rest of its life. I did get beautiful white roots from all of my clones after I rooted them again. I never let the root infection get too severe. I chopped the roots off clean after I saw what was starting to happen...

    Clones Recovering - Nutrient Deficiencies Present? [PICS]

    A few weeks ago I had some serious problems with a pythium infection in DWC... I ended up pulling my plants. I chopped off all of the roots and I chopped them up into several pieces and treated them like cloned cuttings, most of which survived. The ones that didn't were simply cut in places...

    Root Emergency - PLEASE ADVISE

    @BeastGrow I have an air conditioner - set to 75 degrees. It deviates +/- 1 degree. Air flow is no longer a problem, but it definitely caused the issue in the first place.
