Nute & Reverse Osmosis questions For Hydro

[cannabineer]

i tried a clear spray paint. that worked for a bit. i think rain-x might be my next try. i don't like using all that acid with a septic

I balance karma every time I use lye to clear the kitchen drain.

It’s a 2” bulkhead from Current Culture. I have no idea what it’s made of. The totes are Craftsman 10 gallon totes.

I think rain-x might do unwanted things if you have any plan of water curing.

That’ll be fine with acids.

550ppm on a 0.7 scale. i think you nailed it will hard (extremely) water diagnosis.

@Incredible4Mr2E another thing, don't use your tap water in a humidifier. you'll that white crap all over everything.

I will not, thank you. So question on nutes. I used fox farm in the past and liked the line. They’re more expensive compared to general hydroponics, and I’ve heard they’re compatible but GH is a little ahead. Any input would be greatly appreciated guys

i love one part nutes:

GH maxibloom
Jacks RO or Tap formula. i use the RO formula with my well water (weird but the Tap formula had pH drops for me)

 

[Incredible4Mr2E]

Looks like CaCl to me, lime, how hard is your water? Anyway in my reservoirs I'll see some hazing like that from nutrient salts. I also see it in my normal tap water.

I’m hoping I can get it out. I don’t know if I’m going over kill, but I’ll have 3 pre sediment filters. First will be 20 microns, next 10 and the third 5. After that I’ll have it run into a dual carbon filter. After the dual carbon filters it will go into the RO setup I got and after the membrane I have a dual DI filter system. I’m hoping that will get everything out. Over kill?

I use GH Trio and love them. I started with them in '96 when they were the only game (that I could find). I also like DynaGro Foliage Pro in veg.

As for the salt haze you'll be feeding nutrient salts so don't be too upset by some haze. I got it even when I used a 3 stage RO filter. Just clean it off every now and then so you don't get actual scale.

So you’re saying you just use Jacks RO formula for the entire grow or you mix with GH maxibloom too?

nope. either one from start to finish.
i don't buy into the nutes for veg and nutes for bloom BS.

i also like dyna gro foliage pro from start to finish. it needs more Mg though.

I will stay on top of cleaning as much as possible. The GH I was looking at is the flora line series, is that best for growing weed?

What would you recommend for a new grower? It was 2010 2011 the last time I grew for myself inside. I’m back to noob statues lol

I'm sure any of their nutrients would be fine as are most reputable company nutrients. I use these:

FloraSeries® Performance Pack

Your favorite 3-part nutrient system with all the supplements you need to get started in one box. This box contains: 16 oz FloraMicro®, FloraGro® and FloraBloom®, 8 oz FloraBlend® and Liquid…

generalhydroponics.com

It's just preference and what you learn. I'd stay away from the (in my opinion) over hyped cannabis centric lines such as Fox Farm and Advanced Nutrients. I dislike AN because they've been sued for inaccurate labeling. I hope this helps

I appreciate all the information, from everyone! I’m gonna try the GH Flora line and see how I do. I was looking at prices and couldn’t believe some of them.

You guys see the new Mustang SUV?

The road roller? Or is that the new "Bronco"? Both look like they'll flip easy.

If you're a Mustang nut like me it's kinda sacrilegious.

We're supposed to be getting this 1400 HP monster sometime in the 2022 model year or sometime shortly thereafter. I know I saw a new Ford ad on TV a few months ago that said the '22 Mustang goes zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds. Sounds like fun....

They’re so powerful! Crazy they’re getting electric motors to push that. They made electric cars back in the early 1900 I believe. I remember going to a car museum and seeing them.
