Bleach as fungicide?

Bleach can be used to disinfect water for drinking at a rate of 8 drops or 1/8 oz per gallon. It is also approved for food surface sanitation at around 6% or 1.5floz per gallon.

I've also heard bleach can be used as a dip at 10% to kill root rot. has anyone tried this?

I'm considering dipping a clone and then watering with the drinking water solution for a while to kill any fungi in the stem. Does this sound like a good idea? I really don't want to let this strain go.

bleach will kill your plant. i use a watered down bleach to disinfect the grow room surfaces but not on the plants themselves.
, i use garden safe 3 in 1 fungicide

Well you might be not believe it but a a couple tsp's in a Gallon of water is non-organic to kill spidermites, And so is opening up a tank C02 via hose in a sealed room will, and it will also humans and animals but some how the plants stay alive.

But a good thing to is Hydroproxide or at walmart the have some kind of 3 in 1 house hold plant spray thats for bugs, fungi and bacti.. something called safe grow or some thing like that..

Pythoff is simply RO water and chlorine bleach. Most commercial high pressure aero applications and air atomizer sysytems in green houses run nutrients with ch lorine constantly (24/7) once the root masses get large. I have been using bleach for over a decade with different hydro sytems and have never killed a plant through its use. I have also never had a bad root rot problems since using chlorine. I do however test the concentration of residual chlorine before any additions. The HACH chlorine colorimeter is usually sold used on ebay for about $50 and the reagent is about $19 for 100 tests. I would definitely not ever run the aero tubes I commonly run without chlorine. Aero tubes are just too prone to root rot.
