Distilled will be the cleanest. I would look into getting an R/O unit as soon as possible. Even with your water softener, it will drastically reduce your water bill. I'm sure you're not paying $.65/gal like I was, it's still a hefty price though. I would gladly use my own tap water, just as...

When you switch from tap water to R/O (besides getting a cleaner end product), give this thread a look. Since you're in a roots-out system you'll be shooting for 5.5'ish pH to start with. R/O makes pH changes super predictable. :)

Yes, I plan on testing npk, micros, silica/silicon, terpene levels and cannabinoids. I would really like to pass some cuts to a great organic grower and test it that way, same genetics is a much better way to clarify things. Dispensaries would be too easy to beat, I plan on testing a few just...

This statement right here. This one says you know nothing about hyper/dynamic accumulator plants. Go get a real education about cannabis and organics and hyper/dynamic accumulator plants, then come talk to me. lol Until then, your posts can whistle in the wind, for all the attention they'll get...

That's a good question. One that, apparently, has not been quantified yet. I have my own guidelines though. * Extremely lightweight ash, less than 1/3rd the volume of a tightly packed bowl should remain. This is without touching the ash or packing it down. * Virtually zero "burnt matter" taste...

See, more crap. Still saying I'm claiming to be the best. *sigh* Come up with a real question and I'll answer it, gladly.

This thread is really for questions about the hydro method. Have questions about it you'd like answered, so you can understand it better? Go for it. Have immature crap you want to fluff up the thread with? Leave it at home, thanks.

Let me see, white hairs on 5% amber bud. That's all. You made a crack about white hairs and nearly every photo I see of folks bud, it's all dark. Mine are usually quite colorful and light to white. Go find another photo of Twister with white hairs.

Yeah, white hairs at 5% amber. Can YOU do that? Lemme see? This is a thread about proper reservoir management and how easy hydro is. What advice do you see me not taking here, according to this grow method? That I should use tap water? That I should keep a steady pH and grow shit? You...

Yeah, did YOU read the link? It's not about commercial growers, that's for sure. Again, this info was in the thread. Yep. You obviously haven't tried it. I know what cash cropper cannabis looks like, it's everywhere. This is not cash cropper cannabis. This is amazing, in construction, flavor...

Yeah, my pics suck, no frost, look all dark and nasty. Just no idea what clean cannabis is, huh. Why am I not surprised? I said researchers use bottled nutes, not commercial. I said commercial growers don't dump reservoirs very often. What thread were YOU reading?

Mag uptake is one of the most varied traits between strains/phenotypes. It's as balanced as it needs to be for clean cannabis, while supplying at least the minimum for the 'average' cannabis plant. It's refined minerals, mined from the earth. Hello? Where did you dig up your nutrient info...

I read the link, they're obviously using unbalanced nute profiles for their plants. Yes, they most likely used bottled nutes. The only time you see a research group mixing up their own special formulations, is when they're researching a specific plant.

Lucas is shy in mag. It's fairly well balanced with the rest. I'm sure if you lab test it, everything is being absorbed properly and there's little, if any, excess buildup going on. This happens in a lot of nutrients, yes, they're not balanced though. GH is pharmaceutical grade and the mix is...

Show me a commercial tomato, hydroponic setup, dumping their res every 2 weeks. LOL Funny.

Blah, blah, blah. All this is what you read, not what you figured out about cannabis. Show me your way that grows better than mine, thanks. Everyone else around me, for years, has used other than the lucas formula and ya know what? Their cannabis sucks. In 3 months without dumping a res, my...

You forgot to add what seeds are best for, for you. They certainly aren't the best for superior quality production, the most stable seeds in the world, still have varying harvest times and nutrient needs. Not good enough for what I do, I need exact dates, exact nutrient requirements, exact days...

Those are instructions for not having a ppm meter, just a pH pen or drops. (I said no pH pen or drops above, but that's wrong) When you mix a ten gallon res and have added back 10 gallons of top off r/o, you dump it and start over. Should be just shy of 2 weeks when done that way. Read the...

I ran across his info in 2001-2002, he'd been posting it for over 5 years at that point. You're correct, Lucas only pushed what PH came up with from Mel Frank's work. Considering everything I've come across in 8 years is sub-par to what I grow, yeah... I'd say it works. Is there better? Most...

This is as simple as it gets, with hydro anyway. :)
