Why do you want to flush them?djsmokey said:hey all i was just wondering is it ok 2 flush out 2 week old seedlings?i know it has to be done but im not sure if i should at such a young age
djsmokey the best way to heal those leafs is a old formula i have add half a glass of bleach to 2 litres of water it helps the root system to blow outdjsmokey said:i dont have a ph tester to test the soil so i think it might be high or the soil has too much nutes but i was thinking of flushing the soil to see if they would get better because they havent grown in a few days and have yellow leaves but if theres any chance they might get hurt not a hope

Wikipedia said:Hazards
A problem with chlorine is that it reacts with organic material to form trihalomethanes like chloroform, which is a well known carcinogen. There is debate over whether any risk from the chloroform in treated drinking water is worth the benefits. However, the use of elemental chlorine in industrial processes such as paper bleaching, with its attendant production of organochlorine-persistent organic pollutants (including dioxins), does not have any benefits. As a consequence over 80 % of the woodpulp is nowadays bleached with chlorine dioxide, reducing the dioxin generation under detectable level.
Chlorine is a respiratory irritant. It also attacks mucus membranes and burns the skin. As little as 3.5 ppm can be detected as an odor, and 1000 ppm is likely to be fatal after a few deep breaths. Exposure to chlorine should not exceed 0.5 ppm (8-hour time-weighted average - 40 hour week).
Another hazard is the formation of acrid chloramine fumes when hypochlorite bleach comes into contact with ammonia or urine, which, though not nearly as dangerous as chlorine, can cause severe respiratory distress.
