tryed that to no luck
yah my res temp in the 60s f so im thinking any colder will slow growth how is the sm 90 working for you?Hellraizer- I feel your pain. I was debating on either DM zone or sm90 as well. I've chosen sm90 for the extra shit it can be used for(foilage spray exc..). Its pretty fucking high though. Also was considering buying Nutriboost(also a nutrilife product) but been thinking the sm90 should be enough with the addition of h2o2 inbetween rez. changes. Bleach did knock out my rot but 3+ weeks really set back my preptual, gotta have something I can rely on. I've found cold rez temps is really the way to go but I'll still be using a preventive.
totaly agree, though my res is 68 average, no smells or growths using only bleachI started using bleach after being advised by fatman. It eliminated the root rot problem I now use it as a preventitive and am able to run higher res. temps. with no problems. He knows his stuff.
25ml IN 50 GAL and no signs of negative plant growth? Il work up from my 10ml now to 15ml and keep going upThat amount is fine,, I added 25ml to 50 gallons to fresh tap water (2ppm? chlorine?) when I first started using bleach.. it will work,,, your "upper ring" may not be getting wet .. use a strong dose and fill higher than normal to soak the rez wall that may have stuff sitting on it... or make a solution and spray the upper walls if you can.. im using reg. clorox... .. forgot the %... I posted it way earlier in this thread..
ok cool beans man thanks!!No neg signs.. matter of fact my plants are getting fatter,, im in final weeks of flowering.. The 25ml was a one time shock,, when I switched .. I usually put in 15ml.. every couple of days,,, even when I did a rez change,, thats on top of the chlorine thats there already...
I tested clear-rez with a pool test kit, and to make a solution of the same chlorine level either add 12ml 6% bleach, or 1gram pool shock, to a gallon of water.BUMP
This thread may solve my problems. My very first EZC run with 15 cuttings ended in disaster. All of the stems got slimed and turned brown. This was WHILE using EZC's new product "Clear Rez". Clear Rez has a bleach like smell to it. I just think the amount recommended to use was too light. I am going to give 6-8 drops of bleach per gallon a try this time...
To those that have posted they would get back t us, please post your results.
Usually bleach is 6% sodium hypochlorite, but as long as it doesn't have perfumes or other additives should be fine, you could up the dose but it shouldn't matter, I'm at 1/10 the 6-8drop level and it's working. My last two batches of clones in my 30 and 60 were both 100% survival and very well rooted. Before chlorine it was really hit or miss, some would just fall over, some stayed up but turned yellow and didn't root, some rooted but died after. Chlorine was a total cure. Still strongly bleach the ez-cloners between batches. Also pool test strips are handy to know ppm of chlorine, "Aquacheck Pro 5-in-1" test strips are my favorite for this.I sent my Dad to the Food Lion to get me some Clorox, he comes back with Smart Option Bleach... bleach is bleach right? No... the cheap no name shit only has 2.75 available chlorine... Now I'm debating 12 drops per gal?
I started using the pool shock as well. Much easier to deal with then straight bleach. I used 24 grams per gallon and add 1 teaspoon for every 5 gallons of water and add it every other day if I remember. I beleive its 2X as strong as Clear Rez.Usually bleach is 6% sodium hypochlorite, but as long as it doesn't have perfumes or other additives should be fine, you could up the dose but it shouldn't matter, I'm at 1/10 the 6-8drop level and it's working.

You dont think that changing the water out between runs and using fresh foam inserts would be sufficient? I have a huge 120 site that holds 20 gal and would be a PITA to clean out where it is located. Seems like fresh water and a string dose of the stuff run through the system would clean it all out.
