Evil's Adventures

When im in dwc I don't use pH up I find out silicate additive make the pH going up

I've never even owned a bottle of pH up haha. I ran silica yrs ago, but cant recall the effects on my ph. Just remember it made "knuckles" on my plants nodes.

From OG I have (1) pack of the following each:
- Frost Giant
- Obi Wan OG
- Dark Helmet
- Bewitched
- Ninja Fruit

If I can get my hands of some Alien Rift I am good on everything of thiers that has caught my eyes so far.

Thats an impressive list of OG gear.

It's taken a lot of time and patience to piece it all together. I'm also not greedy and just grab a pack for me. Some go crazy getting more than they will ever sprout just to have it makes no sense.

Oh I forgot I have Jawa Pie too and that's high on my list of things I want to pop next from my options. I would kill for a berry/punch pheno like Vader describes on his keeper he says it's like a berry/punch mountain dew type of flavor but you still taste the key lime pie some

Oh and 1 pack of Jawa Kush

The FN Bloom is one of the stronger buffers I've ever noticed in any nute solution. If my tap ever came out less than 6.5 I would have needed ph UP myself as well.
Dont run the RO without cal mag too long. There is zero present in it and your plants will show deficiency real quick without it, certainly in hydro since things "come to light" far quicker than in soil. But just the same, things can be remedied quicker in hydro vs soil.

you should always run RO and plan on always having cal mag in the water along with your MACRO nutrients. if you know what is missing in the water you can easily replace it with better stuff. STUDY NUTs are expensive so you have to know wh1at you need and what you want

I have heard great things about exotic but have WAY too many beans to get anymore right now unless I trade lol. It's not worth it especially now that I can start cloning etc........and I'm actually having success cloning lol.

Plus I have gotten hooked on growing auto's. I have grown one each grow since I have started and if it wasn't for the autos I would have only flowered out one plant so far in my short growing career. I'm not doing auto's when my current one is done yet, but I am contemplating a Perpetual Auto grow in no till soil, I just can't see what would be better than that lol. Water only auto's and you keep planting in the same place hmmmm..........

Ok sorry I got way off track there but big shout to Mephisto Genetics this girl is on about day 65 from seed I started flushing yesterday with just tap water it's their Sour Hound F2 Auto Fem strain. Apparently she swells up late? Lol.....

I have that same tent same box that I guess there are heat sinks in. and the other box with chip holders and what not. lol.

Been running tap from different municipalities for over 18 yrs with zero ill effects. Never owned a chiller or a bottle of hydroguard either. Root rot or cal/mag issues are things I've never experienced. How did people ever grow dope before RO filters, chillers and overpriced flashy nute bottles came around?

 

[Evil-Mobo]

We have hard water there's my cal mag lol......

I third that lol

 

[Qjay420]

me to running tap water for 15 years until a few years ago. the major thing I found was with tap water was that buy the time I added a few nutrients I was at 1200 ppm. But with an RO filter you start at 0 ppm and can tailor your nutrients in much better.

Windy and me are near eachother. Our tap is pretty clean, but I have lots of problems with rising pH because our water is very alkyd due to all the limestone in the ground

This is good though. I have hard water myself that means use PH down but you should not need cal mag.

Yea, but I was dumping a ton of pH down in every 12 hrs because of the full point swing

 

[Tim Fox]

lets grow some weed,, smile

The swings would be a separate issue tap water itself won't cause that. I can mix tap water with my nutes even in DWC and the PH stays on point for weeks............just my exp...........

 

[WindyCityKush]

When ive used nutrients i would use the ph buffering shit like the gh trio. No ph up or down needed, but then again ive never used any other amendments with em.

In soil now im still using the gh lucas formula lol. My ppm pen hasnt been used since July and i have 2 full bottles of ph up and down.

Just my simple style

 

[Tim Fox]

I love simple

All I know is I went from using tap with crazy ph swings to ro not even needing any ph down with the same nute. Just veg+bloom nothing else

I'm not trying to argue bro trying to teach you something that could save you $$ is all.
