I could use ph up or down. I just choose not to. I just throw the nutes on top then water with my RO water. I do a ph check every once in a while with that ph regent stuff. I found out if theres coco, oxygen will always be present so I dont even need holes. I can put the shit in like a storage tub. Im glad cause fabric pots are nice but I hate when I water and water drips out the side. I got a drip pan but still, those are my damn nutes. Im sure the advantage of greater oxygen flow is there, but I guess its a non factor as long as I dont flood it.

I meant that the reasoning behind using RO water was that the tap water had too many ppm. Some cities the water has too many bad bits in it. Only way to deal with it is to filter and or RO. PH can always be adjusted.

I have an RO tap on my sink. I mix half and half. I get nothing but problems when I use only RO.

LOL my solution was closing the toilet lid when I had Afghan and Pharaoh Hounds and now I have shorter models (Yorkie and Silky terriers)

Pumice stones easily remove stains on porcelain I just paid a 172.00 water bill! Welcome to Los Angeles.

Not the toilet but the line is the same as the toilet.

I'm on a well in sand. 7PH on the button with just a touch of iron. I don't even need a water conditioner. Comes out so cold the tap sweats.

Thanks for the tip re: pumice!
I live in Australia and taking in currency conversion, that (US$172) is my usual quarterly bill. I remember when water used to be free...
