There is alot online showinf it and cannabis this was the argument start for the big bous as i said.
Simpley googling can find somany bad bits from it on cannabis too cannabis isnt so diffetent to tobacco in that it reactsbthe same to certain npk

Zamnezia quote

  • Muriate of potash (potassium chloride): This is widely available and makes a good natural source of potassium. However, the chlorine in it harms soil microorganisms, which makes it less suited for organic growing.
  • Sulphate of potash (potassium sulphate): More suitable for organic growing than muriate of potash as it doesn’t contain chlorine

Sulphates add to terpines
Chrlorine destroys bacteria and can harm plant..

I know which id want.
Megacrop for instance has a cannabis leaf on the bag. Mastercrop has tomatoes. Almost identicle exept for that element which raisea consern to be honest

Chlorine (Cl) is a micro-nute which is absolutely essential for all types of plants. It's needed only very little, like in the region of Zinc or Copper, because plants can very easily recycle or retranslocate it.
It's so abundantly everywhere, and esp. in tapwater may rival or supercede Sulphur - which it can lock out.

potassium sulfate and epsoms to boost sulfur, there seems to be some research that the terpene family is somehow related to sulfur.


Mastwrblend features a tomatoe on the bag i use it for my tom nft amazing.
Mega has a cannabis leaf and sulpurs i know which id want


Chloride can compete with nitrate, phosphate and sulfate uptake and max 2ppm is needed which is naturaly found in all waters almost.

Isnt needed stall so i know wich element is more productive and less ability to effect other nutrient elements in the npk
Ok... you have somewhat of an argument, but then how do you explain using chlorine in dwc to sterilize res with no adverse affects that I've ever seen? :cool::bigjoint:

I'm not an expert by no means, but I'm pretty sure it depends on concentration. Again not an expert, but I'm thinking that at low doses, like in a res, it kills bacteria, but not all of it. More like keeping the bacteria in check, but that's just my opinion and I'm known to always be right.... sometimes. :p :bigjoint:

Masterblend uses potassium chrloride and thats good for tomatoes.
But studys show tobacco anf cannabis is screws with them big time if ya cant find it il find the article on it on icmag bill farthings threads.
Defo do not want that on medi C
I call bullshit on that one. You ramble a lot about theory. Do you have any practical knowledge or are you just rambling out in the dark? Many people, me included have been running sterile in DWC for years without any ill effects.

Don't compare apples to oranges, and don't make things up just to prove "your point".

I agree. Hands on experience trumps theory. My friends, or myself have not seen or tasted anything different using chlorine in dwc. I'm not sure about living soil. I could see it having an affect in that case, but there again i feel concentration is key.
 
There is CHLORIDE (Cl‐), the anion of chlorine, in tap water and also as contaminant in almost every fertilizer or even in big quantities in fertilizers like potassium chloride that is widely used on fields. It is an essential nutrient in very small quantities. It is part of table salt (NaCl), does no harm to bacteria etc. in these quantities and it is not to be confused with elemental chlorine (Cl2) or hypochlorite (ClO-) which are very reactive and used to sanitize water.

So chloride does no harm to plants?
