so I have test strips to test for the amount of chlorine/bleach in my nutrient water so I usually add the chlorine/bleach first then test with the test strip to see how much chlorine/bleach is in the water then I add my nutrients and test again but almost immediately after I add the nutrients the test strip says there is no more chlorine /bleach in the water?? so I'm thinking a lot of people are using bleach and thinking that it is helping but it is not doing anything ....I assume the bleach is reacting with the nutrient solution and cancel each other out ...I have tested this with two different nutrients solutions one with flora duo and the other with cyco...another time I just added Cal magic and had the same problem ended up with no bleach in the water once I added it?? so what I'm trying to find out is if anyone knows of a nutrient that is compatible with bleach...I don't think that there is... I had a problem with Pythium root rot and was using beneficial bacteria and fungi which did keep the plants growing somewhat healthy but the roots would still come out brown and nasty with a diminishing yield in my RDWC...I was planning on running a side by side comparisons with beneficial bacteria with fungi and bleach and colloidal silver to test all three separately and that's when I figured out that the bleach is disappearing immediately
using bleach or chlorine in nutrient reservoir need help

You put bleach in your water?
Ya it keeps it sterile and chlorine is a micronutrient

You can use hydrogen bleach as a one off for root rot but chlorine bleach wtf? Colloidal silver is for herming plants..
You realise your tap water already has a shit ton of it?

yeah just do a quick search on the internet I think there's some information about using bleach on this forum alsojust type in bleach in marijuana nutrients it should pull up some good information ...you will see some people that are afraid to use it but you will get some information from the people that are already useing it ....I'm just having a problem where the chlorine is dissipating from the water immediately after I put nutrients in it ....a lot of people think that their tap water already has chlorine in it but my tap water has none
colloidal silver in the reservoir will not hurt anything especially at such a low strength....you heard me plants with silver by spring the silver directly onto the plants like a foliar spray ...go look up collidal shield....and bleach in your nutrient water has been done for a long time in commercial greenhouses
