I use bleach in my cleaning. I dump it in until the water smells bleachy, but not over powering to the nose. I rinse and air dry. Sniff test for bleach smell. If no or very little bleachy smell, good enough for me!

lol I think just little will do. I havn't bleached my trays or res in years. I havn't have pathigins to kill in years so I just scrub it clean with warm water and rinse it all out. Where are the harvest pics from the run?

- Sanitizing: Ratio: 1 tablespoon of bleach to 1 gallon of cool water. Contact Time: Let stand for 2 minutes, then wipe or air dry.
- Disinfecting: Ratio: 1/4 (minimum) to 3/4 (maximum) cup of bleach to 1 gallon of cool water or 1 tablespoon (minimum) to 3 tablespoons (maximum) of bleach to 1 quart of water. Contact Time: Let stand for 2 minutes, then wipe or air dry.
This is the method I use. After you've left it on for contact time, make sure you rinse with straight up water to remove any residual bleach. I like to rinse twice and sometimes even three times. I also go by the smell test after the second rinse to determine if it needs a third.

About 3 zips per jar. Considering the problems I had it wasn't a bad run after all. And I learned more in this one Hydro run than I did in a half dozen soilless runs
