Chloramine is not like Chlorine in the way you can just leave it in a bucket for 24 hours and it will off-gas. If I understand it correctly it is a chlorine and ammonia compound that you must add something to the water to tie up the ammonia molecule so the chlorine can off gas. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong since like I said I do not completely understand the whole process with Chloramine.

Another gift from our government that keeps on giving:rofl:

You just described "shocking" a pool. When you go swimming and smell "chlorine", it's not because the owner put too much in the pool, it's because there is not enough chlorine. Free available chlorine has combined with sweat and urine (ammonia and nitrogen) and formed chloramine. Chloramine is what you are actually smelling. A properly maintained pool has NO smell.

Chloramines do not evaporate. They need to be completely oxidized by super-chlorination, potassium peroxymonosulfate, or by adding ozone


You were pretty much spot on OlderGrower. Good call :thumb:
 
Mason, I read up on chloramine several months ago and one of the things it said was the addition of organic matter to the chloramine water will help break the chlorine / ammonia bond and allow both to off gas. Is this something you know about? I do add a little soil to the water buckets and sit them overnight when I can.

I have heard of that. I did not research it though. I cannot imagine what is in the soil that could break the bond and allow off-gassing in the form of N2.

Chloramine is a sanitizer. It's sole function in tap water is to kill germs. There are different kinds of chloramines. monochloramine, dichloramine, trichloramine, organic and inorganic.


Your plants look great Shiggity. Either your method works, or the amount of chloramine in the water has no effect on your soil biology.

I only know how this stuff works in a pool. Sorry

It works the same way in a pool as it does in a bucket of mud. You understand it better than you know!

We could probably get by using tap water, because so many beneficials are added with the Tea. I like RO because I don't get as much salt buildup.
 
Hey all,
I just came home from watching Cirque Du Soleil TORUK.
What a show! I was hitting my wax pen on the low low and totally enjoyed myself.:winkyface:
If you get a chance, go to yt and look it up.

Now for the update.....
Today makes day 17 and I decided to up can the seedlings in the brix cups to 1 gallon pots.
2 kits been simmering since April...
brix_soil_in_tubs_2.jpg

I drenched with 4 gallons of distilled water and half an ounce of transplant.:reading420magazine:
week_2_day_17_drenching_flood_table.jpg

Noticing a little yellowing on the lower leaves on some of the taller seedlings.
They were root bound and I probably could have used re-potting a few days earlier.:smokin2:

HAHAHAHA he wants ya to jump on the juice LOL all of it ,and then some.......

man some cats just dont know how to play ball.
 
They are gonna explode now Stage. Looking well tended and tidy in there. And they are outpacing the autos like a mofo.
 
Good afternoon Shiggity,
Thanks for the input. I'm not sure whats going on with the autos but I hope they snap out of it....soon.
Brix chicks got my attention.

The lower leaves on mine started to turn yellow around the same age as yours. Doc said they were a little Nitrogen deficient. Transplant is NH3. Since you just up-canned, with a feeding of Transplant and Roots, this should correct it. The leaves will probably not recover. You'll be pruning them anyway soon. Your new growth should look fantastic.

I made a mental note to give her first feeding just a tad earlier and 1/4 strength Transplant Water from the beginning. Perhaps this will help mine in the future.

Everything looking great here... :thumb:

If you can anticipate the demands of the strain, like when it stretches, when it fattens and swells, when buds are set and drench accordingly, you take it to the next level. In containers, it's super easy to have the soil go flat, usually between Cat Drench (++) and Growth Energy (--), in mid bloom. There's a few tools to help:

1. Anticipate with foliar feeding. Use DeStress, Brix, Brix+Wayahead, again, depending on the strain. I like to spray 3 days before a significant "event" in the growth cycle, IE introduction of alternating nodes, bud set, bulking, ripening, harvest window.

2. Drench heavy 3 days prior to a major event.

3. Top dress and top water 4-7 days prior to an "event." IE, I know my Skywalker OG is going to starve for magnesium right about now, so a week ago I top dressed epsoms and sprayed Brix and Wayahead. It helps tremendously on those types of strains.

4. Tweak environment as needed to manage events, IE minimize stretch or bring out Sativa traits with humidity and higher daytime temps, etc.

Again, experience and observation will guide you. Patience, it's like sailing a small boat with tiller for the very first time. After a few interesting,frightening, enlightening and hopefully fun experiences you get the hang of it and it gets into muscle memory.
 
High All,
I cant speak for anybody else but I am Dubbed-Over!
Kinda like a hangover from honeycomb wax and concentrates, whoo...my head.
I'm still high people. What to do? Wake and Bake!!! ;)

Update:
Day 19...after having a cup of coffee and chatting with Shiggity this morning, I decided to spray the girls with 1/4 Destress.

The coco pots are struggling. I dont think I rinsed enough. Only two look like they are going to be keepers, the others sadly look well...sad.
:thanks:
