Bleach cured a root rot problem in my aerogarden at a ratio of 1 tsp per gallon per week. It had no ill effects on the plants, and the roots took off like crazy with 2x as many new roots exploding out of the rotten ones. I wouldn't worry about using it as long as you use a low concentration, maybe 1/2 tsp per gallon for a healthy plant.

Hello, I have resorted to adding 8 drops per gallon of bleach to my 5 gallon bubble bucket after battling the slime. After researching, it seems to have no ill effect to the plant. Just curious if anyone else has used bleach and if so at what strength? How was your results?

I have tried H2O2 30ml/gal at 17.5% NO HELP

I have tried Sub B, voodoo juice, and orca NO HELP

I have clean setup with optimal res temps NO HELP

None of these have done a thing an so I have decided to run a sterile solution. Please don't waste your time advising me to try any of these techniques I have already mentioned or to brew a tea. My question is strictly about the use of bleach in a sterile environment, nothing else. Thank you all for your time and advice.

Are you using clay pebbles? Make sure there coverd to block the light. Had the same issue and tried everything then i realized it was from the light leaking in. Once i covered my pebbles h202 cleared it up
