Tange,
I would like to know more about this. Are you saying that the FFOF will create a situation similar to a toxic salt build-up in coco? ((coco grower here). And that this is what you feel is causing his problem?
So a runoff ph might be...Oh say 4?
JD
Yes, but you then lose terpines. I did a hot extraction, but my experience was that it lacked potency for me (high tolerance). For cold extraction...it's suggested to rotate jars daily or build a little automated device to do it. Just to move the glycerine around a bit.
I used to fill...
Orre,
I've been reading about extracts...and if you want to preserve flavor and still be edible, you might consider using vegetable glycerine. If you do a cold extraction (takes months)...you end up with an enhanced syrup (less sweet then sugar). I made a small batch but it wasn't as strong...
I have to disagree, I like the Widow. But I have specific interests...Widow is the best strain there is for sex...nothing compares.
@Cannabis king You may try and reduce N...not as important in bloom and can even slow down flowering.

Lucky,
I think your concerns for pathogens is valid...for people. Meaning the water should be made safe for people...and of course it will be OK for plants.
If you aren't going to drink it...then put chl;orine in it to kill pathogens...and then let it sit to the chlorine evaporate. You are...
Max,
Are you going to use an RO filter then? No need to do more then what you say. RO plus UV will give you perfect water. Like BudsAlive said though...you should know the PPM. Also talk to people in your area to find to find out how wells are generally in the area. I lived in a farm...
People have failures all the time using the paper towel thing. Not talking about germ failures...I'm talking about sprouts that don't make it once they get into media. So...do so knowing that you may kill 1 or 2.

Hi RUI People,,
I know there are a few guys out there like me...who've tried to allow ganja to be a spiritual component in their lives. I was 18 when I started smoking pot...and it's been with me the whole way.
Later in my life, and deeply immersed in Terence McKenna madness and mushroom...
Welcome,
I just turned 71 last week so I got you beat. How's the grow going? Good I hope.
Don't hesitate to ask for help...that's why many of us are here.
Cheers,
JD
Wzrd,
I'm a fairly low tech guy...but to use vpd accurately...you need an infrared laser meter to measure leaf temp. The temp scale in the chart you just downloaded is probably leaf temp and not room temp. Hell...I'm not even sure it matters...but thought i'd mention it.
JD
Yes...used to have a different name. I think Final Flush is the name now. Uses chelators to bind stray nutrients so no further absorption.
And epsom salts. Not sayin' that's all that's in there. But now...in coco...I try to cram as much S in as I can to enhance teps and flavors.
JD
Edit...
No no...not deficiencies. It really bumps up the terps. Discovered this years ago using Final Flush. Blasts them with epsom salts at the end. My plants were practically dripping with terps.
JD
Truth to this. You're lucky to have a talent and activity that is enhanced by pot. I'm talking about you being an artist. Creative types can thrive on ganja.
But I once had a pothead Doctor...kept missing shit.

Mornin' Johi,
It's a drag being a noob...we've all been there. It looked to me, in the photos, that you have also lightly kissed up against your nute upper limits. Tiny brown tips on a few leaves. Doesn't hurt anything. seen guys watch for that as the increase nutes...to find the upper...
UB,
I recently started to binge watch "How the Universe Works" and am currently hung up on the idea that all possible information lives on the surface of the universe...and that all matter is just a holographic projection from that information field.
Scuze me while I kiss the sky...
