You know your poison by it's dose. If I'm remembering correctly ammonia and chlorine make Mustard gas. Which is a pretty potent vesicant.

at the pueblo chemical depot, the Army stores a shit load of mustard gas. if that crap ever got loose or was a target of an attack, big time disaster.

Close, it creates chloramine gas; still nasty stuff.

Don't mix the bleach with anything other than water!

Bleach and vinger will kill you!

I begged my parents for that game and wasn't even told no! Santa did not deliver either. I showed them

So if you use a nitrate nitrogen, there shouldn't be a reaction?

It will hurt your plant if you use too much, just like light, nutrients, and airflow.

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(4x, 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.
