I use 2 grams of 73% calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) per gallon to make the solution. I then add about 20ml of that to my 3 gallon cloner rez every 2-3 days...

I use Dip-n-Grow rooting hormone, absolute best I've found. I like to run the cloner 24/7 for the first week, then cycle timer for about 9 min off, one minute on. But no problem to just run the cloner without a timer. As long as the water is below 85f, and above 55f, all is good...

It's the same chemical used to sterilize a lot of our drinking water. The history on that is fascinating, documented in this episode of one of my all time fav PBS series, How We Got to Now. This is the Clean episode -


The plants thrive on the calcium hypochlorite solution because they don't have to fight off any invading microbes (bacteria, fungi, etc.) at their vulnerable cuttings stage, while the poison isn't strong enough to harm the plants themselves. Cool shit...

Right. Vat only works in my favor. I tell you what. Mail me a live ainted cray and I'll ship an equal weight of pool shock. Really that pricey? I'll check to see what I can find. Sorry I used my last two bags to clear the sewer connection pipe.

I don’t think it’s to pricey at the pool shops. I’m just struggling to find the 73% stuff

Started cleaning out the grow space well the parts I could. My veg cupboard is backed up. Everything will get chopped next weekend, 4 weeks longer then expected :cuss:.
I’ll just be glad to go back to soil and healthier plants not really impressed by anything this grow, all my own doing.
Next will be a bodhi Black Triangle in the small tent, gdp x goofy grape (from a riu member), pale strangler and Purple haze in the big tent. If I find something with decent yields in the bodhi beans I’ll probably just stick with that and 2 other strains for a while. Which wil probably be the gdp x goofy grape and pale strangler if they yield well or I’ll pop some more bodhi gear and keep looking
