The more electronic ballasts that are in operation the greate…

After my clean out I'm wanting to sprout some seeds and to play it safe I want to use %50 Hydrogen peroxide to sprout them, should I just use the low dosage rate on the bottle or? I don't want to use to much and kill them.

Hello everyone, well after a case of root rot I attempted to clone everything and hope for the best that the root rot had gone, I had disinfected everything I use to grow with but the problem came back since I took clones I guess the root rot was some how passed onto them....iv binned all plants and seeds.....now I'm planning to clean everything down again before I get anymore plants going. what's my best approach to cleaning out my clone room, tools etc....will bleach kill root rot for good if I soak everything in that? If bleach will kill root rot what strength does it have to be? I also have hydrogen peroxide %50 here if that would help? Also say if I had opened a …

I am starting out with DWC in my first grow. I have just bought a ph and TDS meter and am at week 3. My Cyco nutrient chart says I should be at 1300 ppm at this point and ph 5.5. Ph was easy enough. Ppm started at 200 plain water and 580 with recommended nutrient levels. I added about 1/3 nutrient again and it went to 670. I don't really want to push it any further than that, ideas? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance
