Okay, first run results... water in was 32? ppm... water out 000 ppm. Water in was 9.3 ph... water out is ...9.8. I wonder if my ph meter has gone to shit... how can the water be 000 ppm and still have such an off ph? whaaaat the fuuuuuuck... there's nothing in it! Shouldn't it be neutral...

Bravo good sir!

Cool, maybe i will experiment with building something. I have my older carbon filter that i never exhausted from my 6" setup... wonder if I could use the unit itself as a water filter somehow...

LOL... yeah smell is easy ;) And yeah I know they're parroting it because it's true... my point was simply that no one addresses the issue I'm having, everyone just assumes everyone else is trying to do a 'end of grow flush' and everyone starts in with the "OMGZ BRO YOU DON'T FLUSH IN...

I have a TDS unit and the reading I get is in the 50-60 range. I thought this was very low, and therefore never bothered to correct. But it must be like, all calcium, because we get a lot of scaling. Maybe my TDS meter is not great. The zerowater units come with a TDS unit, but I just bought...

Yeah I definitely think both my mg and phosphorous absorption were effected. I am glad to finally be able to swithc, but I am worried about what's already built up. I know the cleaner water will leach some back out, but probably not enough. I would like to do a flush but I don't know what's...

Maybe mang... haha... the bottled was the store brand spring water... I could shop around and try some different ones. But I'm not going to bother right now, as I just siliconed in that zerowater filter last night. No worries, zerowater adds absolutely nothing to it, and the water should come...

haha... the bottled was 10! My tap is only 8.5 on the bad days! LoL. After bubbling for a few hours it goes to 10 though. D'oh!

Haha... yeah Skunk, I have thought of that before myself, ID'd by a pet's hair, worst case! LOL. I try to pick out as much as I can... I work in a tight space so I end up transferring it from my sleeves sometimes when I go to reach into a back spot before thinking to take off a longsleeve shirt...

Had the same problem before I got my space secure. Long hair cats, and they love those warm lights. Oh dear god, instant calamity. It's not the body, snaking between containers... it's that big poofy tail, thwacking along the buds above. :facepalm: I spend more time picking cat hair out of my...

Uh... 192 bulbs? How big is your space?

Yeah, all organic, soil and AACTs this time... Basically just trying to avoid calcium build up, that is my primary concern. Does a homegrown carbon and sand filter take calcium out? This water is pretty hard... it's fine otherwise! Just need to get the mineral content cut back. If I can do that...

Alright, for now, I opted to go with what I was already planning... cut the hole, got the zero filter mounted. It'll last me the next month or so at least, and then maybe I'll finalize an RO system decision in the mean time. Pics tomorrow, silicone's drying tonight.

Nice, thanks buddy! I will look into these options... 104 ain't bad... wanna find some reviews or somethin... kinda confused on the stages thing... some are 4-stage or 5-stage, but maybe that's not necessary for lower water volumes? I'm just worried it ain't gonna bring it to 0 TDS with less...

Holy shit, I'm retarded. Maybe I'll just go return this shit... it says right on the back of the box that it's rated for 16 gallons. Fucking wonderful. That's like four waterings. Fuck. Edit: Did some looking up online and came up with: Sooo... my water is only like 50 ppm, so I'm figuring I...

Alright I got my supplies... 15 bucks for the replacement filter, 4 bucks for a 4.5 gal tote, and 2 bucks for a tube of waterproof silicon. That's 21 dollars, instead of the 40 it costs to buy the biggest (23 cup, or 1.4 gal) ZeroWater dispenser. I will take some pics during construction...

Long and short: They work fine but are inferior products. I have purchased some. First thing I noticed was the reflectors are not shaped nearly as well... the curve is different, and the spike between bulbs is shorter and a different angle. (compared to a hydrofarm side by side.) The next...

durrhurr beardo can I join ur club bro

You should really supercrop that, or LST it... you keep saying you don't know how... well look it up... they're both extremely easy methods. You are going to yield shit off that, because 400 watts do not penetrate well and the lower parts of the plant are basically just going to end up being...

Ice on the fringe, is so damn frosty!
