I see that pool chlorine is about 25% stronger than bleach so I assume I can use that as a cheaper alternative. I grow in organic soil so really hate using chemicals but want to clean all of my transplant pots and 5 gallon pots as Im prety sure I had hlvd recently. And am just super paranoid now. Any info appreciated.

I don't know the scientific stuff, but it's basically powdered bleach. So yeah. I use it in my res, but I also use it to clean around the house. It's very potent.

its calcium hypochlorite is pool shock and other pool chlorine products, or was the last time i looked, very potant, so use with caution.
thinking the same, why do you think that?

What makes you think you have a viroid?
I got a bunch of clones from a buddy like 3 runs ago and one strain was was just terrible yield had no terps and branches were just falling off under very little weight. So I threw it out and the following run a few random plants from a couple other strains had similar signs. Much lower terps and branches splitting off pretty early on. I didnt do any testing but im almost positive I had it. So being that it can be latent im sketched.

The recommended concentration for disinfection has been 600-800 ppm of chlorine bleach and 50 to 200 parts per million (ppm) for sanitizing

pool shock is 0.10 grams per 10 gallons water is 1ppm. you'll have to do the rest of the math

Nope. I haven't really watched any sitcoms type shows aside from Curb Your Enthusiasm since I was a kid. That was impressive for some actors though.
we love the show. very dark humor but funny as hell. danny devito is in it too. but Curb we loved too. seinfeld obviously too.
