right, [are] you sure your city/town [hasn't] switched to chloramine? that [won't] dissipate at all. t is more stable then chlorine, which means a healthier supply of water for people, for longer periods...but chlorine on the other hand does, and within minutes in my experience...10 or 15 minutes, not saying there isnt some left after 24 hrs, but nothing harmful in the least to the plants.

Conventions exist on the proper use of language, gobskii.
1) When you say chlorine, it typically means elemental. Chloramine is a distinct chemical entity with different behaviors and different control procedures. If you want to include chloramine, hypochlorite etc. as potential sources of chlorine or equivalent oxidative capacity "chlorine activity" would be the less ambiguous term.
2) You said chlorine "evaporates" within minutes. That does not usually mean "is reduced to safe levels" (and "safe levels" are also prone to much debate), but rather "falls below the detection limit".
I don't think you've completely succeeded in proving me wrong. What interests me more however is the apparent hostility in your phrase "of course you would disagree". What have I done to earn entry into the category "opponent"? cn

When adding nutrients usually it takes about 72 hours to notice a change for the good or worst -Good question, how do know what the exact problem is?

wasnt meant to be hostile at all...i was just waiting for the discrepant individual, nothing on these forums are set in stone...there always debatable...thats all i was getting at...chloramine is just the stable chlorine, so yes chlorine activity would be more proper...proving you wrong is impossible i guess...it will always be debated.

Proving me wrong is eminently possible ... we must first agree on terms however. ;) I have derailed the real discussion here to long, so my closing thought is ... happy new year! cn

also the let the water sit for 24 hours so the chlorine can evaporate is BS...it really evaporates in minutes, i fill up my watering bucket out of the sink, and water
