Sounds like you need to calibrate your ppm meter to me. If your tap water is really 590ppm I'd be out getting a RO system. I have been using Reverse Osmosis for all my water from the start because my water is pretty hard. I haven't checked but I believe my water is above 200ppm. I've never heard of water being at such a high number like 590ppm but I'm sure it's possible.Ive got a serious question...my flush has begun, this morning before lights out i drained the res and cleaned it twice, and let the pump run on tap water for an hour before adding my 150 ml of clearex and then back to 1 on 5 off. Tonight at lights on my ppm to my astonishment was at 590. I changed the res again and repeated...guess what? 590. I filled up a glass of my tap water and guess what? 590.
I studied the flush chapter and it says you keep your ppms below 50 at flush. wow this just sent me for a loop!!!
If my tap water is 590, and ive been keeping my ppms at 2000, does this mean that in reality my nutes have been kept at 590 below 2000?
Could this be the reason why the buds didnt seem to be as big as i thought they should be?
It just never really occured to me to check the tap ppm,, and what shall i do?
Thanks.....the worried pregnant mother...
The EPA's acceptable limit for drinking water is 500 ppm. I'm in a private community on well water and they struggle to keep us right at 500 ppm, that is to say very hard water. If Dirt is on city water, 590 ppm seems like a misreading - on well water though, I'd believe it.Sounds like you need to calibrate your ppm meter to me.

city water here... this morning the reading in the res went up to around 700... it must be a calibration error.
If it is an error,, does that mean ive miscalculated the nutes?
mine is like 260 here. well water. taste great though. when I brita filter it with the thing on my faucet it drops like 1 ppm. like picasso said 500 is when the epa says not to drink. isnt there something that is like a standard to test it against. like my calibration weights for my scales. or isnt that what the tds solution is for? Ive only used mine once. still waitin on my seed order from attitude.city water here... this morning the reading in the res went up to around 700... it must be a calibration error.

Yum yum
damned the scissor the blisters anyway
That's really high bro! Anything over 200 should be filtered through an RO machine first.Ive got a serious question...my flush has begun, this morning before lights out i drained the res and cleaned it twice, and let the pump run on tap water for an hour before adding my 150 ml of clearex and then back to 1 on 5 off.

Clearex has sugars in it just like Sweet. It also has some of the nutes that are are need for the final growth stage.I run just plain PH balanced RO water for 2 weeks, I havn't tryed any flushing agent's.... This seems to be doing great, my buddy adds A sweetner at this point and swears it helps the flush.
