When the Lines Go Silent: How to Prevent System Failure Before It Costs You

Imagine This:

Your environment’s dialed, stock tanks are fresh, EC’s on target. But mid-flower, your drip pressure dips. A few rows start getting fed less. You chase the issue and find drip lines narrowed and clogged by scale and residue—salt buildup, biofilm, or leftovers from organic inputs.

That’s not a “cleaning issue.”
That’s how a hidden clog turns into lost yield.


What’s Clogging You Might Not See

Even if your emitters are dripping, here’s what might be building up inside:

  • Sulfate or calcium scale from hard water or salts
  • Biofilm from previous additive programs
  • Residual organics trapping particles
  • Uneven flow rates throwing off uniformity

Most problems don’t show up until they’ve already caused damage. And most so-called cleaners either take all night, require multiple bottles, or come with gear and gloves no one wants to mess with.


Meet Shock: The 90-Minute Reset for Modern Fertigation Systems

Shock isn’t a sanitizer. It’s not a foaming acid bath.
It’s a one-bottle, one-flush solution designed for cannabis irrigation systems.

What makes it different:

  • Single product, no foamers or acid additives
    Just dilute, circulate, flush, done.
  • Fast acting: 90 minutes from start to finish
    Clean lines between runs without burning a whole day.
  • Non-corrosive and gear-safe
    No damage to emitters, valves, or stainless parts. Breaks down to oxygen and water.
  • Trusted in real-world fertigation setups
    Consistent performance across batch tanks, dosers, and recirculating lines.

The ROI of a Clean System

System hygiene isn’t optional—it’s performance insurance.

Every emitter in spec = every plant fed equally = more consistent outcomes.


How to Use Shock

Between cycles only:

  • Mix 37–74 mL per gallon depending on severity
  • Run through your lines until and let soak for 90+ minutes.
  • Flush thoroughly with clean water
  • Resume your next feed

Note: Shock is a high-strength oxidizer. Do not run through active plant systems. Use only when room is empty or, in case of emergencies, drippers are removed from the plants.

Want to know if your system needs a reset?

  1. Run clean water through your lines.
