I've posted the dilution calculator all over the forum, 3ppm is adviceable in a DWC cloner.
Good luck! Chlorine dilution calculator

I have no clue how to figure this out. This is the kind of bleach I use in the pic. I have a ton of 3% hydrogen peroxide how much of that per 1 gallon of a dwc cloner for clones that have not yet rooted.

You need to show the part of the label with the "active ingredients" part.
There is no label it just says contains Sodium Hypochlorite

It has to show the concentration somewhere.... by law. At least in the US. You need to know what the concentration is before you can use it.
Literally doesn't say it... I have other bleach, let me look at that.
The clorox I have says nothing either about any percentage of anything.

Literally it says nothing, a blind person would see mine. I have the same bleach most likely so how many drops per gallon? My clorox is splash control or something.

Well for one, clorox bleach has a couple different concentrations. Yours is not the same as mine, as it is splashless, which won't work anyways. You need regular bleach. Splashless isn't very good for disinfecting. Mostly just for whitening and brightening. Get yourself some plain old regular clorox.
Ok I will get regular clorox, so how many drops per gallon?

I don't do drops, I use 1.5 -2 ml per gallon.

Just mix 1/2 teaspoon of bleach for every gallon of solution.
@hotrodharley you know I'm talking about a dwc cloner for new cuttings right? So 1/2 teaspoon still per gallon? Do I just do it once or everyday?

Once and change water regularly. Yes I’m aware it’s a DWC cloner. But that’s what the dilution rate figures out to be. A teaspoon is 5 ml. So 1/2 is around 2.5.
I change it every week and ph down and run cloning nutes at about 325ppm, just bc when I did straight tap water ppm 170 my roots would be very thin and wispy.
@hotrodharley or anyone else
Any idea what is causing the pistols/ flowers on my clones to like brown/burn off. Did it for years, but they still root sometimes. I tried to clone 3 different ways and it does this depending on the strain. Does it in dwc cloner too. THese are cuttings and it does it around day 6 or 7.

No idea. Normally they dry and recede from pollination or simple age. Have you sprayed these with anything?
