Ah, ok. That's interesting, back to the drawing board ... I'm very interested in water-theory at the moment, some people swear by RO, some don't. Makes for some digestive thinking.

hi bud ! I use tapwater but I add this at 1 drop per 10 litres of water ! it keeps the nutrient water conditioned for longer an also works well in fish tanks when doing a water change
 
i am taboo:muahaha: but the thing is i want to grow 10 plants at a time my plan was to get a 5x5 tent using 3 gallon pots with ocean forest mixed with perlite i wasnt going to worry about the soil ph too much as long as it was above 5.3 and good ph'ed water fox farm trio and calmag just in case the tent i want is a gorilla so thats 10 inch ducting etc the strains i want to grow are himalayan orange diesel, midnight express, bloody skunk, blue amnesia XXL and cropical fruit using 1 platinum series 450w. any typs suggestions etc?

that's a great start, plan it well my friend. Gather all the ingredients, and make it happen. 5.3 Ph in soil is for blueberries, not Ganja.

Excellent advice! 10 plants wont be simple in one tent

That was my reaction too, unless the grower intends to do SOG or Scrog, that many in 5x5 is a challenge.


There was a good water discussion here last night. I use city water, but installed a 10 and 5 micron house filters. I intend to add a 3rd one for a 1 micron filter. That should get all but a few bacteria and flouramine/chloramine (spelling?) I don't think my plants mind the water already, 1 micron is better than I gave myself for years and years after all. It may help to know that if your plants are healthy and actively photosynthesizing than they take in less minerals and molecules from water. Water is taken in two ways, apoplastic and symplastic movement. When healthy and Photosynthesis is strong, than most water comes in through a membrane (reverse osmosis like) It is a natural defense. It works as long as there is less water potential inside the cells than outside. Water or Ph stress can cause a plant to switch to active water transport, and uses a lot of energy to do so.
