As long as it isn't taking a trip through a water softener you should be fine! Trust me on that. I had issues last summer.

Ah yes - want toxic levels of sodium ladies?

For a second I thought you were asking if I wanted a really salty snack. :'[
I do.
Maybe some nachos for lunch...

Sounds like it's a good thing @shnkrmn said something

Major lockout. I was growing upstairs nowhere near any hard water supply so I hit the bypass valve on the water softener, thinking I could flush the line up to the second floor bathtub and use that. But no. And it took a long time and other eyes to figure out what was wrong, so the problem just got worse and worse. I did right the ship eventually but not my finest moment.

May have to run a test on a smaller level.

That seems wise! Like Evel Kneivel, I jumped Snake River Canyon so you don't have to!

High levels of sodium fools the plants into thinking they don't need any water/feed even though they are completely parched.

Man, mine takes minimal if any adjustment with RO and the Floraflex 2 part. I'd hate to switch and then need to start dumping pH down in there. That said, it's still less work than filling jugs out of the dispenser. I'll definitely test drive it for a couple reservoirs.

We don't want to screw up your Floraflex test drive, tho. That could mess up our wholesale switch down the road!

It was sad to watch your plants go from happy and healthy to sad and dying. At least you figured it out and corrected quickly.

Headed to the Neurologist this afternoon, 24 mi to the big city one way. Hoping he will come up with a plan so I can walk like a human again. This is getting really old. They have valet parking if I can't find big butt parking by the door at least.
Mornin.

Lucky to recover from sodium toxicity - by the time you see symptoms it's often too late.

Sorry Ratt, you've had a pretty rough year.

He did a good job of bringing them back around. Damage was done tho... they didn't finish pretty!

Thanks, my back is paying me back for years of abuse. It will usually correct itself in short order, not so much this time.
