Hi guys, I have a few questions about using bleach and I saw you talking about that in this thread so I might as well ask here instead of opening a new one.
The HTH Pool Shock I found is 56% calcium hypochlorite.
24g of that per galllon is 3.55g of calcium hypochlorite / 100ml H2O. Wouldn’t that make it roughly 3.6% bleach?
Also, laundry bleach here is a sodium hypochlorite solution. Is the dosage the same as of calcium hypochlorite?
And last question: how often should I repeat adding bleach to the res? My res is being bubbled and circulated 24/7 and I think the chlorine evaporates within a few days. I am not using DWC but rather a flood & drain setup with an open res under the flood table.
I noticed biologic growth is inhibited in the res after i started using bleach but it does happen after a few days. Logic tells me to repeat adding bleach when chlorine smell is gone but I dont want to risk adding too much bleach so I’d rather ask here first. Also I use sodium hypochlorite laundry bleach. Maybe it evaporates quicker than calcium hypochlorite?
Thanks a lot in advance and I look forward to all comments.
Get a permeate pump.
Get an RO pump
Add an additional, oversized membrane, to the waste water output of the first membrane. Double your DI filters when doing this.
Adding the second RO dramatically reduces the waste water produced. The permeate pump will increase the pressure of the system. The RO pump will further increase the pressure improving the overall efficiency.
I have 3 RO systems all with some variation of that configuration. Living in the desert I am water conscious and abhor the idea of wasting water.
No trellis got cables about 7’ off the ground with a shit ton of yo yos. About 3 week of veg. Fucking timer fucked up and kept turning lights on so a little more than I wanted. Due to root growth.
Edit three weeks of veg after transplant that was 12”
Truth! It’s a love hate relationship. If it fits the room design it’s great. If you end up crawling under the net all the time, blow my brains out please…
I use the mod cages now from cch20 and won’t be looking back
Fuck I just switched from maaad cages back to trellis crawling in coir. Both ways are tough. Can u post a pic of ur setup w the cages for inspiration @FicklePickle
I’ve got the bulkheads and bins but havnt found the motivation or time to mock up a lil rdwc…
He showed me the cages. They’re pretty sweet. I just reconfigured my room, adding buckets and tightening up their center to center distance. Now these cages make sense for my room. Definitely my next upgrade.
I would try looking in hardware stores, construction supply houses, anywhere other than paying that much for that. You can get a sheet of material to make cages for like $3-6 a piece depending (and that’s up here) for an entire sheet of metal grating.
Not that I don’t want to see people making money, only that I’m a cheap fuck, and couldn’t rationalize paying that price.
If it’s something you’ll be doing at least by-annually I would invest in a cheap brake to use. You guys just wait until I get down there! I bend this up for members on the side…
I’m going to need a metal brake at some point, for what I’m going to do…
Edit: I’m so disgusted that they want $30 for a cage
been there…
