Just read for first time about dechlorination

I have never let my water sit out for 24 hours before using or remember even hearing about it.

I’ve always grown bomb ass bud, apparently full of Chlorine

Well I’m always looking to improve so I’m gonna let my water sit out before use

So is this a myth or something more for hydro?

Your bud was not full of chlorine, chlorine is actually a standard plant building block in small amounts.

As Xtsho said this is really only for soil applications, and I'm honestly not sure how much it really even effects those in most cases. I stopped growing in soil and havn't done alot of soil research since.

I've been growing hydro for 9 years, and about 4 years ago I started using chlorine(pool shock) in micro doses to sterilize my system so it was always clean. There is a great thread on here about it an several hydroponics products on the market that are the exact same thing in a fancy bottle. It works great!
 
Here's a video of soil samples and tap water tests. There are links to the lab reports under the video.

Good stuff. I was growing in organic soil with straight tap with no bubbling or waiting around and never say a negative effect on the plants. I wonder how different it would be if he had chloramine in his tap instead of chlorine.

You can use something organic like fulpower and that gives the chlorine (im not sure if its the same with chloramines) something to chew on. A few hours later that cholorine should be low to the point it wont affect bennies.
 
Waste of time to let your water sit, same with making sure its warm. I have always went straight from the faucet to the plants with no issues. Same thing with curing weed. Let that shit dry out till the stems crack, throw it on jars with boveda and call it a day.

You will see while reading threw all the threads that people just like to waste time doing unnecessary shit because they got nothing better to do. When you work a million hours a week you learn real fast what you don't need to do because your just to damn tired to fuck around. Put a light on, water it with some cheap nutes and call it a day. That will get you great results.

:clap:

I'm with you on that. The fuss people make amazes me. But hey, it's their fuss to make. I'm a firm believer in the KISS method.
 
Pure bs myth im afraid...

Without bothering to get to soil simply start with tap water science which states that the few ppm of chlorine does not affect established populations, its there from preventing new ones getting established.

Another fact before even getting to soil is that tap water is not a sterile product, magnify enough and theres tons of microrganisms living amongst all that chlorine. Suffice to say water plants and pipes have their own microherd.

Now to soil, this stuff has been the biggest non stop battle ground for millions of years, you really think very weak ass ppm chlorinated water will do anything whatsoever.... mainly somthing will eat assimilate or it will break down in some endothermic reaction after a short while few days.

Most first world water supplies use a solid chlorine and not a gas which is when you could let it sit out to dissapate, mainly that wont work with modern chlorine planrs. Its cheaper rhan gas and easier to dose.

Just one of the few chems in water but none kill your garden or negate you cleaning the shower and toilet and it certainly wont do zilcho to our soil or plants.

Place raw meat in a dish of water, does the water sterelise the bacteria? Nope :-)
