Uh no. Chlorine promotes root growth. It also will heal the cuts on a clone to prevent embolism. It just kills off microbes not plants. If chlorine killed plants. Everyone's outside plants and lawns would be dead. No one has filters on their sprinklers and hoses. C'mon now.

Who would have thought so many hardcore burners were early birds? I'm one too, 3-5am, all my life pretty much.
My tap water must have the perfect amount of chlorine, because the fresher out of the tap the happier my plants seem, I know that sounds weird, but srsly.

Lol well it kills mine unless I let it set for 3or 4 days but that was city water now I use well water . Plus what does anybody from UCSB know anyway .

What was the ph and ppm of your tap water?

According to city hall pH of 6.3 to 7.0 ppm of 430

Im sure you can find studies leaning both ways...
Impact of Watering Lawns and Gardens with Chlorinated Water
Many water providers add chlorine to drinking water to keep it clean for human consumption. Chlorine prevents bacterial growth in water distribution systems. Many residents use chlorinated water to irrigate their lawn and garden. If chlorine is added to drinking water to kill bacteria, what impact does it have on beneficial soil microorganisms? Does it kill beneficial organisms in compost piles, too? Researchers have found that chlorinated drinking water may kill a number of microorganisms in soil or a compost pile. However, their reproduction rate is so rapid that populations rebound in a short time. Under normal conditions, chlorinated water will not threaten microorganism populations. Microorganisms reproduce rapidly. In one study, researchers continuously applied highly chlorinated water to soil for 126 days. Two days after they stopped, the soil microorganism populations reached pre-treatment levels at all depths of soil.
One reason chlorinate water has little impact is that chlorine binds to soil particle surfaces. This immobilizes chlorine and reduces its ability to kill microorganisms. The organisms in the topmost surface of soil or a compost pile may be affected after irrigation but as the water moves downward little chlorine remains. In one study, researchers found that water chlorinated at 5 parts per million killed organisms only in the top half inch of soil. Organisms deeper than one half inch were thriving.
The amount of chlorine in drinking water is quite low. In order to kill soil microorganisms to 6 inch soil depth, water containing 65 parts per million of chlorine was required in one study. Drinking water usually contains much lower chlorine levels. For example, Colorado Springs Utilities water contains between 0.05 to 0.90 parts per million of chlorine, 70 times below the threshold level.

Like I stated many times what works for some doesn't work for others...I'm just going by my personal experiences...water straight from the tap doesn't work in my grows .

Is that to kill bacteria in the cloner or to root your clones ?

Hey bro... no worries...discussion is good....I wasn't arguing with ya.
I'm 100% with ya on what works with one dosnt always work for another

Keep in mind chlorine levels in tap water are around 2 % except for quarterly chlorine flushes at a little over 3% . Public pools like hotels. And what not use more chlorine that home pools. The chlorine in public pools is below 4%. Any higher and it can make people sick or even kill them.
Too much of anything will kill plants. Too much nitrogen, phos, what ever .... even too much water (ro or tap) The only thing you can't overdue really is amino acids. We provide more amino acids than the plants can uptake.
