I do not let it cook at all, I mix and transplant directly into the mix, The miracle grow organic has plenty of available food to get the babies started. By the time they use up whats avaliable from the MG the blood and bone will be broken down and readily available.
The best thing you can do if your worried about chlorine, Is to buy a big 50 gallon res or larger and add an airstone to it, Then add your tap water, allow it to set 24 hrs before use, I done all the research one time as well, and I used to allow 24hrs of bubbling before use, However one time I decided to run 6 ak47 in this exact mix and put them in my hydro room in search of a mom at the time. Well I didnt use the RO water from the system I used straight tap water. Didnt allow it to set or anything. Turned out the plants grew great, So when I jumped into the soil growing again, I had a new outlook on things, I have no solid evidence of what goes on under the surface of the soil, But from the above soil level, Well the plants have shown me that the chlorine in the tap I use which my tap test at 7.4ph with 230-250 ppm. Isnt showing any ill effects.
Sometimes I've learned to let the plants speak for themselfs as apposed to listening to the science of it all. Of course science says the chlorine will kill off good bacteria which it will. But then the plants tell me the chlorine isnt very harmful infact I have seen some really vigorous growth over this past 8 months of running this mix crop after crop. Which means one thing for sure and thats that the chlorine isnt harming the end results.
Thats about as frank as I can get. Its a smple solution you can either choose to follow the facts, and allow 24hrs for the chlorine to evap to insure no good bacteria will be killed off, Or you can just say well dam blazes plants dont look like chlorine has harmed them and run it like I do. I have a hose hooked to a water outlet with a sprayer nozzle. It would be a pain in my ass to hand water each plant with water from a res that I setup to de-chlorinate the water. So for simplicity because it works I just use plain tap and water with a shower head thingy that I have hooked to a garden hose from the water outlet for the washer!
Basically my opinion is this, Fact is chlorine will kill of bacteria both good and bad (proven with chemistry), Fact my plants continue to grow great without evaping the chlorine before waterings. (Proven By my continuous success crop after crop) The fact is however your water could contain 2x the chlorine as mine and could cause a problem. Then on the other hand it also may do no harm. Atleast to the growth of the plants. I would reccomend just bubbling the water for 24hrs. For the feeds on most of the crop, But I would take one plant and set it aside and use just straight tap that hasnt been bubbled for 24hrs and then come harvest compare the outcome.
If you notice the one that recieved straight tap, Does as good as those that were givin the bubbled water then you know that the chlorine in your water has no ill effects on your outcome.
