How many drops of bleach per gallon is safe?
It's 6 to 8 drops per gallon. Just don't use "splashless" bleach.

When I move my girls from the veg tent(3x5) to the flower tent(4x8), I give them a week of 18/6 to sorta stretch out and get used to the extra space. I run bennies in hydro(ebb&flow), but for some reason, those first few days of 18/6 have the ph going a little wonky. I run a small amount of bleach during these first few days till the ph settles, then I switch to bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

Roots like a Colgate commercial.

What kind do you use? I just read that it breaks down organic matter, which would be helpful for keeping my bonsai mothers healthy. They get wilted every so often and end up with a cube fill of jacked up roots.
Southern AG

But I was just gifted a bottle of Tribus original, so I'm gonna roll with it for one run. See what happens. Two weeks in so far with the Tribus, and I'm seeing very similar healthy roots. The price is crazy compared to Southern, so if there is no major difference(which is what I'm expecting), going back to Southern AG.
