When I saw that I thought..whats the point of r/o if you add back in the shitty tap water?

I guess it is better than pure tap water though.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but hey if it works, I can't argue with results. I like the PH buffering part of it, but don't necessarily see that as a definitive reason for using this method. I know a few growers who use tap water and get very good results. I will probably try it out sometime but for now I am sticking with R/O water and my H&G nutes.

I use tap water, but the water around here is so clean. It's the first city I've been in where the tap water wasn't disgusting to drink.

ppm < 25
pH ~ 6.7 (I think) When I add Boost and Bloom or Boost and Veg it's usually ~6.3 then I drop to 5.8

Anyone know of any grocery stores in the San Diego area that sell dry ice? I want to try some dry ice extraction.

My tap water is 150ppm, and the ph is 7.8 and the chlorine is smelly and the water will mold in 3-4 days if in a cup on the counter. The water turns my sinks toilet and shower pinkish orange if not washed for 2 weeks also.

Hey all.. Just dropping in and saw the issues with Blue Dream.. What a Princess! Oh She doesn't like to be force fed at all. Will complain. I made a joke she likes to feign dying to get her way.
I am growing out a cross of the sole clone that survived being feed what the others had no problem with in 2010 that is. Missed growing last year.

Still it's was a Princess. She wants to take her sweet Veg time and doesn't like being fed even in Organic Soil with what others have no problem with.

This Cross will be the first smoke of any amount so I still don't know what a True Blue Dream smokes like since my surviving clone out of two was seeded quickly and let pass away.

All I can say is the near death and the come back seem to be some drama the strain has.. Interesting behaviour in a plant if you ask me but still drama..

So Soil or Hydro she is a light feeder that will get hungry but if not fed when she wants it well she will make you sick worrying about her. LOL... Even in crosses I have the same thing going.

Would love to see your BD in flower close up friend!

Thx for the info, even if it was sort of in poem form. I have experienced first hand the blight of force feeding Blue Dream and I won't do it anymore. I am holding off until tomorrow to start her back on nutes and even then it will be light nutes.

I checked the Blue Dream girls this morning and they are looking much much better. There is a lot of new root growth so I am 99% positive I was just overfeeding them. I guess BD is a light feeder which is fine I just wish I knew that last week. :-?

All of the thick white root growth that you see is from the last few days when they have been getting nothing but R/O water and Orca. The brown/tan looking roots are the older growth that didn't really do much of anything during the previous week and half when they were getting fried.
