Well, why don't you. Your a very capable grower, and you have every other variable worked out, your as good as any to do such a thing. If he's wrong, the proof will be in the pudding.Then how did you prove that RO is NOT necessary? That's a negative. More, not just for your Austrailian municiple water sources, but for every municipality in every state in the US? Perhaps your information is correct world-wide?
How about a side by side? Any Los Angeles growers want to experiment with an RO plant and a tap water plant side by side to see which one does better?
This is his thread, Jin, who's patronizing who? I'm sure reading his advice came off as insulting, your a snob with your methods, not necessarily a bad thing, its given you excellent results, but you know you are. You let it hit your ego, don't. If you want to prove him wrong based on what you see from your filters, a simple side by side done 12/12 from seed or clone from a short flowering indica will give you the quickest results. But since this little back and forth has started not nearly as many questions are being answered. You could start your own such thread in Aero, it is your specialty after all.So you're giving me a life lesson on the moral shortcomings of retail operations? Maybe you should try patronizing a first time grower instead of me. What? Everything they have on the shelves at my hydro store is not absolutely essential? My, my thanks for letting me in on that.
I'll admit that when you admit your information isn't perfect.

In conclusion, nice pic, she's a new one.![]()
Not really, think of it this way. People come here knowing this info is according to him. Its their responsibility to do homework on the advice they get. If he was going thread to thread, that would be a different matter, but as far as I can tell, he only answers questions here.
Not to mention that would require a MASSIVE operational grow to test all waters in every municipality. He's proven it in his area solidly. Being in Australia, I can't even think of what he would have to do to get LA tap water, especially enough for a full grow. You on the other hand have both. Seriously, do the side by side, hell, I'd keep up with it, fucking love side by sides.
Hell, I might do a side by side, about to start my first hydro grow, I'll try one side RO and one side tap. But that will only give proof for SA, TX (though our water is fucking cloudy and takes a bit to clear up, so I figure its as good a place to test as any)
the process of RO is hella wasteful
As always, I appreciate it.I like you, Raven. So I'll do as I'm told if you're the one telling me. Peace.
And yeah, I'll do that side by side. Not as a big "I told you so" to this thread starter, because I'd be happy to prove him right as well.
*Why? cause the system your using isnt 1:1![]()
..cheers
Oh, fuck me dead. Now, not using RO causes seeds not to germinate? *facepalm* *headdesk*
Al's thread A batch of clones in rockwool is very informative, its definitely helped me dial in my cloning.
I lived in Cali for only 6 months but that was long enough to convince me that the water there is barely drinkable. We even had arsenic and uranium in our muni water!!! No shit, we didn't even have to have night lights, LOL. Why anyone would use super-filtered water for plants is beyond me; it just does not make sense.
Hey, it's all good. I have no doubt he's helped many... and I'm not being sarcastic in any way when I say that.

I'm pretty thankful for my well water no doubt!

Cheers William.
