Sorry for the long post and apparently complex post but I put it as simple as possible and gave the technical backup too. I was a hippy in the 70s went to college so I can cifer now. :blsmoke:

Ok let me take a crack at this pH issue.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In RO systems you have the feed water (input to the system) and the permeate (after filtering). When your water passes through the RO system you filter out ions (CO3 and HCO3) but not the CO2 which is a gas. This filtering will change the equilibrium of the water because 2 of the ions which control the reaction which produces the hydrogen ion (H+) were removed in the RO process. The H+ ion is what the pH meter is measuring The new equilibrium will always result in a lowering of permeate pHif there is CO2 gas present in the feed water. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Usually, the pH drop is largest for waters with high amounts of alkalinity or HCO3. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When there is very little CO2, HCO3, or CO3, there is very little pH drop observed in the permeate.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Therefore it is not true that reverse osmosis filters will always reduce the pH level of water to a noticeable amount. The pH difference after the RO depends on the composition of your input water source; depends on whether you have large amounts of gases such as CO2 in your local water supply. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you are concerned with the pH of your RO water (If you see that your pH is indeed below 7 with a good amount), you can consider putting a pH increaser filter as a final stage of your reverse osmosis system and correct acid water problem easily.[/FONT]

You meters are working its just the water that has changed post RO. Hope this helps

sog. i am running a 1000w light 220 v whats a good surge protector i could get for it.

install a contactor or a suppressor on your main hot line, that will surge protect ya

unless your in a very stormy region, i wouldn't bother with it

99% of today's appliances already have a built in surge protection

Is anyone here into vertical SOGs? I've been thinking about putting a 3x3 arena into action with a 600 watt HPS. It'd have 4 shelves on each of the 4 sides, and i would be putting 6 clones (3 to a shelf) in every 10 days. It would be on 12/12, and i would allow for about a week for root development and possibly some vertical growth in my mother area. my growbox where the flowering would take place is 3 feet wide, and the floor is dirt (it's in a crawlspace) so even thought it is at 3 feet tall right now, i will expand it to 5 feet once my current CFL crop finishes up. my questions to you all are: First, do you think this is a realistic idea based on watts per plants, plants per area etc? Second, how much should i expect to yield from 6 clones at a time? I'm trying to put up big numbers, but if it would get too crowded (keep in mind, the shelves will be smaller at the bottom, and larger at the top, so as the clones got bigger, they would move from the bottom shelves to the top, the top being 3' long) then i could maybe to 4 clones every 10 days or 6 clones every 15 days. Anyways, what advice do you guys have to offer? Thanks.
