I know currently my RO sediment filter needs replaced. I am going to buy another one and price a uv filter. I am going to do a lot of looking...

    Dp- im not saying the RE in the dish of pathogen will work. But its not hurting anything by trying. I figured why stop there. If I already have issues with my current plants in veg AND plan to wipe and replenish with the plants in vegging in RW. Then I may as well have some fun with the...

    I have GH ph up/down and an up/down. The GH is weak and the AN is supper concentrated. My RO doesn't have a buffer. Should I buffer it with cal/mag, then ph it? Otherwise, with no buffer, it isn't effective for me. How much ph are u guys adding to say a gallon of water to make this...

    What does this mean? I think u mean, take some ph up or down, mix X amount with water. This is now a "watered" down ph adjustment solution? If this is true, can u explain some doses and how effective this is? Also, my RO water has no buffer so it takes only one drop to adjust my ph. I...

    I just got like 12+ new strains that I've been keeping separate. Im on a mad hunt to try to find every way this virus is spread. Im not.

    I received a cutting from the same nursery. I asked for another grape god to start over. When I got it, I noticed a lot of mottling and distorted growth. It has been quarantined ever since.

    Nope. I had already purchased the aquashield and Zho. I wanted to get my $s worth. I was given some subcultures so inward going to try to work them into the mix. I just figured if the original method works, might as well use what I've already bought?

    I really wish this thread had a sub thread that had a compilation of factual information in one place. I want a little more kick in my flower stage, just not sure if I should change diversity of my tea or change the amounts im adding.

    Thanks for posting that Heis, I was about to start looking for it. I know the tea is working in flower. Most all the roots are solid white. There are a few "diatom blooms" though. I dropped to 900ppms and they have been drinking like crazy. The ppms are the same after drinking over a gallon...

    I washed roots off (3 day old in veg) into clean bucket. Let bucket dry and observed the tds. It looks like hydroton sediment. Is it possible to not be cleaning the hydroton well enough, then the water brings the sediment into the buckets then the sediment chokes out the roots? Causing the...
