What's your recommendation for going sterile? I have read H2O2, bleach, zone, chlorine, chloramine, physan 20, naccosan, UV, RO, UC roots, root guard, ect ect.
Please list what you use in ml per gallon and how often/when each product is added.
Also please mention your procedure and products used for cleaning your equipment between runs.
Please no live vs sterile debates.
I currently use:
GH Maxi Grow powder
GH Maxi Bloom powder
GH Diamond Nectar humates
Mad Farmer fulvic
Maxicrop seaweed
Botanicare Cal Mag
Pro Tek Silica
Humbolt Snowstorm last 3 weeks
Set to ~750ppm 6.2ph
1.5ml per gallon 34% H2O2 (mad farmer)
0.5ml per gallon bleach
My water is well water filtered through a 1 micron water filter, tested with no bacteria present.
I clean/scrub everything with simple green and sterilize with H2O2. I run strong H2O2 through my system between runs but have the feeling I need to use another product to run through my chiller and plumbing to get it properly cleaned and sterilized. I have some salt buildup inside my plumbing as well and I am curious to know what I should use to get rid of it. I was considering CLR cleaner but I am open to other recommendations.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
