hey peoples, just added XL and gave her her 2nd week flush, frsh nutes and all.

will be monitering PH level over next few hrs very regularly , as i have never used XL before (super phosphoric acid)

after adding nutrient the ph went to around 6.5-6.6 before thinking of touching up or down adjusters, then i added XL!!! ph dropped to 4.22 OMG freakin out man!!! so i added ph up bit by bit untill i reached 5.8, turned the pump on and let her recirculate, after 5 minutes of circulating PH went up to 6.00.....

so i will be taking precautions, i have added a few drops of 'down', pump is off, i will check again for next feeding, i really dont want the PH to jump too drastically, as i know recirculating systems need a small buffer window each day, as nutrient gets used up , and changes ph, and salt levels

hope this helps a few people who may be interested in using Cycoflowers CYCO XL ......

Guys i use pureau water from woolies . Or i boil tap water for half an hour. But for 10 litres its $7. It has no salts, no bacteria, no fluride and heavy metals . Simply it is pure water. It comes in casks like goon haha.
 
Man buy an r/o filter. Mine was about $150 and its got all four filters and is the maximum flow u can get too. It screws on to any ordinary garden tap. Look up pure water club on ebay.

I use a lot of water at the moment about 10 liters a day so in 21 days at $7 dollars a day it will pay for its self in 3 weeks

Yeah i got one just have set it up cause i dont have a constant need for water. only need to make up nutes every 3 days so i just been lazy i guess.
 
And im on bore water which is the town water where i am . the bore feeds the the towns water and get filtered at the water treatment plant and pumping station but is high in clorine and other crap that r/o will not get out
 
Fantastic how bouts you. Still raining here will be for the next 2 weeks i reckon . Yards 2 inches under water need some gumboots to walk up the shed
 
Yeah it does but i want all the minerals and shit removed so its only getting minerals from the nutes that way there will not be any deficencies
 
might test the pureau now that you made me think about it. And ill hook up the R/o over the weekend and see what its ppm is
 
For that price I would guess u got all filters plus a storage tank so u font have to wait for the water like I do plus in guessing its an under sink job.

I spent a lot of time researching so that I bought exactlty what I needed and nothing else to save money
