Not too sure if I want to be buying that many gallons of water! When did yours start drinking that much?
Time to suck it up and buy a filter! I didn't have one for my previous grow and when I totaled up the amount I spent on water throughout the grow, I realized that I could have bought a nice filter and then some.

Me too - and it's been quite the life-saver. We use it daily for drinking water too, so it was a great investment.

NEVER! Actually, I had no idea there was such a thing as a portable RO system.. Should have did more research into that I suppose! Think I may get one, have to convince the wife first, she is CHEAP.

Got busy, forgot to add water to res before lights went out. Height this morning was 7" and tallest is 10". I'm sure it'll be done growing vertically in 10 days or so then it'll start packing on weight.

was unsure about how tall it would be but I now see it's def going to get some height to it. Smell is seriously dank. I was looking at the trichomes and a lot are cloudyish, which I found weird for a plant 3.5 weeks into 12/12. It might just finish in 8 weeks.

Told wife she said she'll look at them with me, that could be in a day or a year. :lol:

Nice man! How does it work? Does it really do 0 ppm water? Did it come with everything?, I want to hook it up to my faucet and don't want to buy anything extra.
Mine came with the hook-up for the sink. It has 3 lines, input, waste, & pure water. Most R/O filters will get you close, but the deioniser takes it all the way to 000. Personally, i'd pull the deionized filter out for drinking, and just use it for the plants. Something about the taste I think.

My tap water comes out at just over 200ppm. If I run it through my RO filter it's normally around 20ppm. The one I ended up with just screws onto the faucet and has a small hose that filtered water comes out of. I usually filter a 5 gallon bucket full everytime. I'm also adding a little cal-mag to the RO water before it hits the plants. I love mine and would recommend an RO setup to anyone.

Yea, wife says I can get one, so I will probably sometime next week. Anywho, ppm meter broke so yea. Didn't really NEED it anyways because I'm not going to use any more nuts than what I am now unless I notice it's being undernuted. So I'm sticking with 3.5 tsp of Nova Bloom, I may kick it up to 4 tsp at week 5 then do that for a week and flush it out for the final 2 weeks. I've been draining and adding new nutes every 6-8 days. Anywho, it has grown a LOT this week. like 10" in 5 days a lot. Monday it was 1-2" now it's 8-11" Onto the pics..

So today is day 28(4 weeks) of 12/12, vertical growth seems to have slowed down. I'm thinking now it'll focus on flowers from here on out.

She's looking amazing!! As things thicken up now, it will be the best of times! :leaf:
Thanks guys! It's still growing a bit. Measured before lights went off, tallest one is 13" and the shorter ones are all about 10" I changed the res Saturday evening, added back the rest of what was left in the jug Sunday morning, Made a new jug this morning and before lights went off it ran through that entire gallon.
