If you got over 200 ppm coming out the tap who knows what's in that water. But what would I know about dwc?

Very nice man, nearly 1 gram per watt! Not too shabby at all.

Yea, that's where I'm at. Anything over 150 is hard water. Could be heavy metals, who knows.

i live in Australia so i cant justify using RO water eg cant be wasting a bucket of water for little return well i could but i like taking showers and drinking so i wont waste that much. best i can do it the crappy pure a tap. i just posted my Water Quality Data so if you and thenotsoesoteric would like a look its there

I think you'll be good man doing what you're doing. I wouldn't sweat that stuff in the buckets too much. If your plants are looking good you're good. Like you mentioned just dilute your ph up and down if it makes you feel more comfortable. I just mix mine directly, no worries.

I'm not trying to talk down to you or anything. As long as you're getting cannabis to grow and harvest you're doing it well. Cheers and I hope it goes well for you.

i rather honestly over anything even if its insulting so not a problem and thanks for the information and thoughts on my problem

Might want to try mixing part b in first since part a has the calcium. I've always known to mix the calcium part last.
