That is correct. Same EXACT ingredient as EZ Clone Clear Rez that sells for $20 a QT.

Get your self a 1 lb bag of HTH Pool shock non PH buffered available online and most hardware stores (bought mine from Ace). Mix 1 GRAM (450 in the bag) per gallon of solution. Will make the SAME EXACT concentration fo the SAME EXACT product. $4 will make you 450 gallons of the stuff and will treat over 286,000 gallons of water !!:clap: Should last you a little while ... Can you say markup ?? :shock:

Been using this on all my clone machines and all my ebb and flow reservoirs now with great success. You use 1 OZ per 5 gallons. I actually make it a lot stronger at 24 grams per gallon then only have to use a teaspoon per 5 gallons. Works very well in both systems. Works better then H202. You need to reapply every 3 days to keep bacteria at bay. You can actually use much stronger doses if you like. City water is 1-5 PPM of chorine when you add this it only raises the PPM level of chlorine less then 1/2 a PPM. Very safe and very effective. Found my PH levels to be much more stable in my larger reservoirs compared to using 2 doses of 30% H202 per week. Its doing a better job of killing the nasties :-o

$4 of this



Makes $2200 worth of this

I'll post the exact link. It's a long thread like 56 or so pages but they break down every product on their and a cheaper solution instead of feeding the snakeoil salesman.

I'm always on that thread!!! Saving so much money!! Fuck spending 300-450$ bucks when I can spend $75 and get 500 gals.

Dood, I can't thank you enough for this pearl of wisdom! I have had nothing but trouble with my turbokloner. I'm into day 5 and the stems are bulging! All things exactly the same without this formula and 50%would be dead by now. My clones have NEVER looked this good.

Had I found the commercial product before this diy, I would likely be singing a similar tune. It's been that frustrating. This is the most useful thing I have learned on any of these forums. I'm going to use it in my chiller rez for my watercooled lights as well.

Thanks again.

How long does the solution last once its made? Given its cheap enough to make a fresh batch every 3 days, sparing waste is nice.

i have some of this sitting out back that i used for the pool. just clarify, if you use at the rate of 1 oz per 5 gallons or 1 tsp per 5 gallons? 1 oz = 2 tbs, 1 tbs = 3 tsp so i am a bit confused. i have some root rot that peroxide & sm90 do nothing but keep it from taking over. starting to think sm90 & peroxide arent compatable in my experiences. then whenever i brew up a compost tea with great white/zho slime completely takes over. sucks for me right now

for anyone looking at this post, i tried putting this stuff in a bucket. a teaspoon raised ppms 100-150. that is a lot of salts or what this stuff is mostly chorine. although i ph'd the water i didnt notice much change or more than a normal slow drift up. all in all it seems like a bleaching agent

It is a form of chlorine a highly concentrated one. You use such a small concentration after the initial dilution. Throwing a teaspoon into a bucket and taking a measurment really doesn't provide any usefull information here as you are not following the recommeded mixture.

The author uses 24 grams into 1 gallon of water and uses that as his concentrate. He then mixes one teaspoon of concentrate per 5 gallons of reservoir water :peace:

A little additional dialog on this with a chemical engineer, confirms this claim.

Do you think this will kill and then prevent reinfection? I have read 3ml / gal of Zone will kill it and 1ml / gal will keep it from coming back. Then I will used some hygrozyme to eat the dead stuff? I would love to used pool shock cause I can get that locally, have you heard of anyone fighting an infection with it, or only as a preventative?


Honestly, I was hoping you would look at it and tell us if was really the same as the stuff in clear rez.


response:
As far as clear res, yes that is the same ingredient.. well they don't list what it really is they list the byproduct of what they add to make it. Pool shock is calcium hypochlorite which when mixed with water will form a solution of hypochlorous acid.

Hypochlorous acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

@Budlydoright

The calculation of 1 gram per gallon is good if you are adding 100% by weight chlorine - Calcium Hypochlorite does not form 100% HClO (the active ingredient) but about 60% (or 40 or 30), so the 1gram must be devided by the purity. The purity is listed on the package, it will say "Forms 60% chlorine in solution" so take 1 gram / 0.6 (purity) = 1.7g per gallon to equal %0.028 HClO

Been using it for months now. Still have to bleach out the cloner every cycle or two. I ad a shot every 2-3 days to my cloner.

I recently learned the hard way that the Pool Shock formula is no good for your plants as they get older. Pool Shock is Calcium Hypochlorite - basically chlorine attached to a calcium molecule. The extra calcium added to your nutrient solution can cause magnesium to be locked out (magnesium deficiency).


A better alternative is to use Sodium Hypochlorite, or Clorox Bleach. No extra calcium, no magnesium lockout, no deficiency. The rate is 6-8 drops per gallon. A lot of people including myself have tested and confirmed no problems at this rate for killing and preventing Pythium.
